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.

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'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.

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