oh if it had a gripper possibility id have it ... be buggered if im getting off and strapping everything individually when im loading digger and attachments into truck for instance - once you've had a gripper its no going back job as they say.

See I just pick up each attachment by the headstock with the hitch? I’ll also be buggered if I’m paying 5k for a gripper - tilty gear has gone up a lot since we got them!!
Anyway I’ve still all the buckets if someone wants them.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
and me .... it is soooooooo cheap and worth looking for a suitable weapon to mount it on

1/2/3ft and GB06
3ft has a slight bow(up on the cutting edge) , but nothing you’d notice in the dig - being fussy!

I don't know if I would be allowed in the tilty club anyway, I`ve got a thumb on it

I'm genuinely surprised why every one doesn't have at least one digger with a thumb for the same reason. Aside from all the grabbing and shifting capabilities it gives it's also just all the little things like picking buckets/attachments out of a trailer, always there when you need it for plucking stuff out of the dig as you go along- it must save me hrs on every job not to mention getting in and out of the cab to piss around with chains or whatever and it costs about a grand fitted! Its pure efficiency and profit imo.

yep gripper same - amazing bit of kit and as you say save hours - @DaveDCB not putting a detachable gripper on that setup seems a shame to me... so close

Probably because when you would use it you'd gone out in the other digger
There's lots of handy things out there nowadays but it's all relative to yourself.

Let me double check the width, I’ve got it in my head it’s 300mm but I’d previously listed it as 250mm..I was after a 230mm, as have the same set apart from the 900mm but they look decent
800 for the pair..
