I looked at tilt hitch but its only half the job - go s40 and put a tilty on it laterPeople’s thoughts on changing to S40 now? Buckets are slightly hire spec at best
Other option I’m toying with is just a standard style tilty hitch
you will absolutely not regret it ...a tilty on a 6t is shocking how you can turn out the work.Tilting hitch would do what I need I think, as much as I like a steelwrist etc it’s not financially feasible at this time and I can’t see that machine seeing one. It’s really only a thought so I’m collecting the right style of attachments for the future.I looked at tilt hitch but its only half the job - go s40 and put a tilty on it later
S40 is deff the way to go.Tilting hitch would do what I need I think, as much as I like a steelwrist etc it’s not financially feasible at this time and I can’t see that machine seeing one. It’s really only a thought so I’m collecting the right style of attachments for the future.
S40 tilting bucket seems silly though
but will go 180 if you buy the right one
Iirc the lad i know with a couple says be better lower build height and limit the tilt.but will go 180 if you buy the right one
can't see how you could lower the build height by limiting the tilt on a rotary / helical --- it is what it is
Dont know tbh - seemed a gangly thing in the photos but didnt take a lot of notice otherwise, seemed to remember him saying something along those lines a year or 2 ago.
I’d imagine he’s referring to a ram type tilt hitch- although you could bring the hitch up under a helac unit which would cause it to ground out before 90 degrees.
I had considered that, but we were discussing (or so I thought) helical type -- yes if the under bracket was too short, it'd be possible to clash with the upper, but it'd wanna be bloody tight
I love the S40 system, best thing I ever did was flog 15 x 3cx buckets I had and buy into the S- type setup!People’s thoughts on changing to S40 now? Buckets are slightly hire spec at best

Same, I’m going straight for s45 with the 8 tonner
There is part of me wonders if thats the best plan of the whole lot
im guessing S45 be kinda big for my machine? It seems a bit of a no mans land where some are on s45 an some s40?
You want S40 on that Takeuchi - S45 is a lot bigger and not necessary on a 6 tonner.
Thanks ill keep that in mind. Kinda doubt a total change is in the budget but i also guess the cheapest time is now
Exactly.
I got sent a 3ft bucket with a S45 top on it by accident direct from Engcon, it was blooming huge, the headstock hung over the front and back of the bucket- was a mess! They had it back and sent the correct one out
