Hello,
I am getting a new Tak tb216r and trying to decide which bucket quick connect system I want to use. Unfortunately hydraulic QC systems were out of my price range.
#1
The TAG coupler is a Wayne Roy qc with a way to tighten up the front as the bucket/coupler wear.
Included in deal if I choose are 12", 24" and 36" bucket.
PROS
+I like this system because it looks like it adds less stack height than the Rhinox.
+ The Tak dealer can set it all up so it's included in the deal and warrantied.
CONS
-buying buckets in the future will be more expensive than the Rhinox buckets.
-They are including a 36" smooth bucket for ditching/grading, but it appears to be too deep/high compared to the 36" buckets I've seen people running on this machine on line.
#2
The Rhinox mechanical pin grabber is made in England and they have been easy to talk to/ask questions.
PROS
+I could get the same buckets as above and a 39" hydraulic tilt bucket for the same price.
+It *might* be a little easier/faster to swap buckets than the tag.
-Can't see any of it in person before buying.
-any problems would be harder to resolve.
My head says go with the tag system, but a hyd tilt bucket would be sweet.
Also Tak is installing a hydraulic thumb(what I'm waiting on now, and it's killing me lol). I know this matches up with the tag buckets, but not sure about the Rhinox set up.
I might get Tak to drop the 36"er and see if Rhinox will sell me the tilt bucket with a blank top I can add the Wayne Roy coupler too?
What are yalls thoughts?
