That's including vat. Seems an absolute bargain for a powertilt with hyd coupler...

Yeah. But looking at it I'm now sure how the height can be reduced that much with all the hydraulic gubbins for the hitch etc. is your engcon less build height than your powertilt?It sure does. But just look at that build height! 🫣
Still, it’s what the market wants

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
PUP hitch is always gonna be a tall sod - S type'd be the only way to reduce the build on that - 'tis cheap though

It's might be what the market wants to drive prices down..but im seriously glad i didnt see this @ 3.5k for the 6t as opposed to the 6/7k i was quoted, i might of bought one and missed out on the chance to sack off and ride the trials bike or play golf with my mates a day a week

I came across this tilt and rotate bucket recently, available to hire from Coyle Equipment services, produced by OKB but bottom halve looks very much like the rotating bucket BMC now produce ?
I'm almost tempted to hire one for my 8t ?

Yeah I was looking at the rotating bucket BMC do and thought handy for some stuff because you can still get a tilt angle on it but I think they're a few grand so perhaps will put the money towards a basic tilty setup instead

I wonder how much they are to buy?

BMC have quoted me 3740.00 for the rotating bucket to suit my 8t but at 450kg the weight concerns me as I had a tilt bucket from Digbits, not sure how much it weighed but it was so big and clumsy I didn’t keep it long.
JB equipment do a rotating bucket that appears to be lighter but not sure of their quality, I’d be interested if anyone has had a bucket from them.
Rotating seems attractive to me as build hight could be less than a tilt bucket and potentially I think you can do more with it.

JB has a video of there's working. You can see how you can get more or less all the same tilt angles as a tilt bucket- but I'm sure if your used to a proper tilty you'd find it pretty frustrating

I used the gieth tilt bucket for years, it was 390 kg and too much, 450kg is going to be pretty miserable.

That’s what I thought, I assume that was on your 8t Kubota.

As I think you’ve mentioned before build height of a lot of these contraptions/ attachments could be reduced a lot by going to a S type hitch but I suppose nobody wants that when the attachments are a cheaper alternative to a full tiltrotator set uplook at the build height !!!!!!
tha's taller than my VA-r

It was, used it for about 7 years, never really used standard bucket after id bought that, but it was a hell of a lump on the end, was very surprised when the et65 handled it better than the 8t Kubota
