Backhoe 4-n-1 Backhoe bucket

[Rowski]

I got this in the mail yesterday. Looks cool. It doesn't use a linear piston or hinges or pins. It uses a sliding spline piston. Same as they use for their power tilt attachment. The comapny claims it has equal force thru its entire range of motion. Works independently of the curl bucket.

Its only for the big boys /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif. Comes in 2 sizes. 16K carrier weight and 21K carrier weight.

Intersting concept. Does anybody know of another company that makes a similar bucket?

The closest think i have seen to this is the power thumb that bob-cat offers on its mini excavaters.
