Claw

[spechols]

Made a claw for the PT425 today from parts.

Will try it out in the next few days.

Nice! What are you going to decimate with it?

Terracing some clay/stone slopes for gardens. Leveling out some trails.
Using the claw to break things up so I can then use the scoop to move it.
At least that is the plan. Claw cost me about 50 bucks but I had some parts sitting around.
Hope it works. I am sure I will have a big learning curve.
Wish me luck.

This legit man, great idea if you don't have a backhoe. You could also swap out the claw with a bucket also, do some digging if you get a diverter or 3rd function valve. A la this:

Very cool video. Luckily, I have a mini-hoe, but I am still learning how to use it.
I think I will like the claw because it was cheap and will be easy to repair when I break it.
I built it with a shear pin just for that reason.
Also want to use it to rip out some Multiflora-Rose that seems to come in more every year.
But we finally have rain today, so that can wait. We need the rain so badly here in PA.

Now you have me thinking about making a Artillian Front-Hoe Bucket.

Too many fun ideas.

Good job. Could be a good back scratcher for a bear
