It should handle it well eh Deas. My Kaiser guy told me it's to heavy and I should have went with the 24". I pointed out that there is only 80 pounds difference. To that he said it's not the weight of the bucket it's the weight of the capacity that it can hold. So I pointed out it doesn't have near the capacity my 36" digging bucket Kaiser sent me has and it handles that no prob....? He didn't have an answer and changed the subject. I don't think he was happy I went somewhere else.
I just heard today from the guys I was ordering it from (Inland Kenworth - Parker Pacific) that it will be a four to six week wait for it. Helac builds the actuators and someone else builds the bucket with it on. The guys that they have build them are swamped so tomorrow I'm going to see if I can find someone local capable of building it for me if they send the actuator and plans....should be interesting eh. It could turn out to be a good gig for whoever builds it for me as I'm sure if they do a good job mine wont be the only one they build.
That is a good price eh Day, to bad I'm not ready to buy my next machine yet. If it wasn't in an auction I would call and see if they would sell the grapple separate.
