Saw a lot of the 4 in 1's in our area years ago, on different brand machines. Lots of gravel banks around here, so seems everyone had one to strip the top soil, then load out the bank run. Also had a 500 acre orchard close, that used it to push over old trees, and then grab it to put on the burn pile. Our crew even had one on a 350 Deere crawler. It was used for ripping, and loading shale for fill material, and I used it a couple times, when replacing an old sandstone back wall bridges we replaced. Pretty handy for picking up the stones. Hydraulic excavators made it so much easier, so they sold it.

I had one, it had it's use's for sure. It was real nice to spread gravel by opening the of the "clam", it was also handy when loading a very tall truck. Instead of dumping, you could open the clam, but I wanted it for cleaning up the woods. Not so great for that. Then I added a grapple bucket, some call it a scrap grapple, it was a little better, then they came out with the "root rake/grapple". Both of those other buckets are long gone and that grapple is one of my most used "bucket" for near 15 years now.

We hope to have JD's version of these for our 4052 to help us with slash moving and/or anything else it might be handy for.

All you need to do is "Set it and FORGET IT!!!"
