Hello Charlie. Do you think the diverter you have pointed out would work well with this puppy?

Wasabi:
I have a W.R. Long 4 n 1 bucket for mine, and the diverter with joystick button works very well. I'm not very expert with it, but it is certainly less clumsy than the knee lever. I found that the diverter helps more on the 4 n 1 than it does on the hoe. On the 4 n 1 I found the knee lever to be a real pain.
I think a regular solenoid valve plumbed in series with the lift/tilt circuit might be even better, since a rocker switch would open or close the bucket and some lift and tilt could go on simultaneously. On mine, the diverter inactivates the tilt circuit when opening or closing the bucket.

where can I see what the joystick button and bucket look like?

I posted pictures of the W.R. Long bucket in MossRoad's thread on customization of Power Tracs in the Customization forum before we had our own. It's a long thread, but if you scroll down far enough there are pictures of it closed and open.

Thanks for the insights. Still in the armchairplanning mode, but may add some kind of grapple feature this year.

Re: 4-in-1 bucket - price?

Anyone know the price on this 4-n-1 bucket? I don't see if listed on the price sheets for the 422 or 425...

Thx,
Dave
