Looking good! Needed a little fabrication pick-me-up this morning! The post outriggers and side shift options are rare over here and sought by foundation repair companies. Excellent work and inspiring craftsmanship.

Looks real good! How do you like the extra stick on there so far?

Extra stick is the best decision ever. I get great reach with full lifting power. Much better then telescope. In a few days we will test it with jaw bucket, I'll make a video and post it

That's one impressive bucket. I sure like the way it separates the clamping function from the bucket rotation. Not being able to separate those two motions is the downside of a traditional BH thumb. Your's seems like a better way to do it. I hope you are patenting some of these designs.

Also noticed that the Aux. Hyd. outputs changed sides. And that reminds me that I wanted to ask what your preference was for size and quick connector type. On the JD310 those aux connectors are dash 12 size - which is 5/8" hose and fitting flow diameter. Yours look like a similar size.

That is awesome work! I’m not sure what is patentable though. VAR and clamp buckets already exist and are being sold by other companies.
