Nice work Pat. I agree that configurable is good, when you use a new tool you end up with more ideas.
Have you considered an adapter to put it on the FEL bucket? I have been using stick rakes on the far end of a brush fork, I like it, can stick it way under a bush and drag out a big pile of sticks. And up front I can see better, and don't get a crick in my neck. But there is a lot of backing.
Thx for the link. I can definitely see a use as you say, cleaning out under trees and bushes. Ditto the brush fork. I was also interested to see the sturdy front-mounted implement hitch by RitchElbe.
