It was good to meet you face to face, Jeff. Thanks for finding out about the Woods loader, too.
While there, I noticed a couple of nice looking tools guys here might be interested in:
1)
www.precisionmfg.com has a thing called "Add-a-
Grapple", which fits on top of 5 and 6 foot loader buckets. Doesn't weigh a whole lot or cost a whole lot. Coupled with my short "manure tooth bar" thing, this could be real handy for a lot of guys here.
2)
www.wingfields.com has a driveway scraper that looks like the answer to the needs of many posters. It has a short front blade in the center and an 8 foot wide shallow "C" shaped rear blade which should take the crown off a driveway and fill in the holes without spilling gravel off to the sides.
3)
www.Kaskomfg.com has a thing they call the Krocodile, which is sort of a
grapple, root rake, scarifier all in one. Highly adjustable for different tasks, looks strong and capable.
All these things are not so heavy as to hinder use on the smaller CUTs, so you guys might want to check out the sites.
