Power Trac Future

[washita]

I built a ''grubbing bucket'' similar to the one J J showed in the thumbnail, but mine does not have teeth and is shaped similar to a shovel I use mine on a 425, it sees more use than the mini-hoe, I used a frame cut-off from a international semi roughly 11'' wide and 20''long 5/16-3/8 thick steel, the frame rail had to be cut with a plasma cutter, if I can find the original pictures I will repost them, eventually I plan to add a grapple to this bucket next summer just have not had time yet to fabricate

Here are some pics of grapples on a stump bucket.

Also a slide on fork grapple.

JJ- can you include links to where you found the photos? It would help us out.

Thanks,

Peter

These are photos that I have saved over the years.

One of the best tricks to get the label or manufacture, is to use Google and do an image search for tree spades, stump buckets, etc. I have heard they even have a search that you show a picture, and they try to match it with a name or site. etc.

Will try and list the manufacturer as I find them.

I have to add, these things are expensive, and I posted them for reference if you wanted to build something similar, and they are on Ebay also.

If you draw the spade up, a metal fab shop can cut, and bent it for you and you weld, or they weld.

1-800 THE YARD there site does seem to be down. I googled power trac phone number and it listed a local number as well.

I suspect that the thunderstorm last weekend is still affecting them (took out power to 20 million customers over 10 states). We finally got our phone lines back yesterday in VA, so they could very well be one of the many still without power and phones. Give it a few days.

Also, being the small company that they are, they probably shut down for a few days around the 4th of July anyway, so you might not get any response until Friday, regardless of when their power comes back.

I also recall that the entire company takes a month off for a European style vacation each summer.

They might close for hunting season, too.
