Tilting buckets.

[Storrsy]

Want to get one for some up coming work- mainly paths etc but probably other uses.

Thinking going standard ditch profile as manage everything I need to do with normal grader I have now- is there much benefit to the Scandinavian ones- they weigh more and look to have more volume capacity is that it?

I have a tilt scandi on the E10. I love it.. replaced the normal grading bucket 99% of the time. Hard to explain why the profile is better, but you get more reach and better geometry it seems and having a pointy edge can be useful. Best £375 ish I've spent for sure. I've made a grading beam too strap on as well for raking out 803. Works a treat.

The engcon grading bucket is great - never had one not under a tilty but would still go scandi even if it was only tilting, pipes are a pita though !

Get a tilting grading beam if your doing lots of levelling.. you’ll thank me later

It's not that kind of work. moorland paths and erosion repairs where it's a case of reprofiling using "won" material, infilling erosion gullies etc,a beam would be no good for this.

i personally enjoy a scandi style far more, can move so much more material with it and im not sure how to explain there just "nicer" to use. If you choose to go scandi you will use it a lot for damn near everything. standard shape is annoying you cant move stuff quick enough so you end up taking it off and using a digging bucket etc then your pissing about with pipes etc the whole time.

I think when it was discussed a while ago @CPS said a standard profile was better on a smaller machine Aiden?

Does it restrict grading envelope close in because it's taller when grading?

I cant remember what @CPS said, but think it was something like that.
