This aft we started a nadgery job but didnt want to take 3t as we need to get on as fast as i could, so put the geith tilt bucket (390kg) from the 8 tonner on the Wacker, underneath the Strickland s lock (115kg) and it handled it better than the 8t Kubota does... Wtf !

Got it roughed out in the afternoon ready for drains or whatever we decide is the best solution.

Kubota is pretty near zero swing isn't it?

Is that a home made auger?
Never!!
It is an amazing purchase from @JD450A last year. Anyone’s guess what it came off as it is a bit of a monster on the 3tonne digger. Had to cut and hot glue a new headstock on it and the auger is from Augertorque with a new head welded on to adapt to the 2inch hex drive. Will need to sort some hoses out if I want to put it on the kobelco!!

Erm there is some overhang on kubota but i wasnt really refering to stability, although the wacker is as if not more stable than the kubota , I meant it just swings it around easier/faster - feels lighter on there than it does on the Kubota.
Suprised really as I thought that bucket on that machine it would be horrible.

Yard tidy up week after 1.5 years of it getting silly, trying to remember sticks after about 3 years of not doing anything with them
