I've only had quick hitches 12 months, so having more attachments is the way foward. It used to be painful changing buckets, also the 2 minis i have, have same buckets. Ripper tooth next on the list.

Bought one recently for my kx, brilliant thing - only used it so far to empty a skip into one next to it (skip firm had been charging for 12 yarders but delivering 10‘S so I sent it back empty

Me too . I’ve got some pads to dig with the mini and I think the ripper would burst through the frosted ground on topI've only had quick hitches 12 months, so having more attachments is the way foward.

Worth drilling a hole in the bottom of the skip if you get charged by weight . Just to let the rain water out . I found out this the hard way . wondering why my rubbish was getting dearer when it was wet !Bought one recently for my kx, brilliant thing - only used it so far to empty a skip into one next to it (skip firm had been charging for 12 yarders but delivering 10‘S so I sent it back empty

Thankfully I don’t get charged by weight. Had an 8 yarder weigh in with 9.8 tonne last week.

Good things those rake buckets. I don’t use mine a lot but just the ticket when I do need i. Does a nice job of finishing ground, slewing lightly and breaking up the clods as it goes.

have a good fire in it first before sending it back. It always brings out the best in the skip boys!

Ive got one for my 801 and 8026. Brilliant things. The 801 one came from BMC and I have bent a couple of tines on it as its just made from regular steel. The 8026 one came from Digbits as they use Hardox tines and I've not managed to bend it yet, even being stupid with it so would recommend them.
I have 50mm spacings on both. In the summer, its perfect for turf prep but they do get clogged in the winter.
I run the bucket shape rather than the more open design as I strip turf with them regularly which saves me lots of money in muck away. Skim the turf off, shake the topsoil off and you are only removing grass rather than a bit of dirt like you would with a grading bucket. Earns its money back very quick like that!

I watched your video of ripper tooth extracting roots. I wondered why you worked with the front window open. Then i saw you in action
