Tilt Bucket Install on A Cat 313 Next Gen. Diesel Equipment 60" Tilt Bucket

Finally got around to installing this tilt bucket on the 313. Had this thing for over a year now.

[@derrickpettit86]

Freaking sweet brother, can't believe you waited that long to install, now that you have it installed, your gonna use it all the time, sweet bucket,

[@smithworx1091]

🤣🤣me either. I was so excited when I got this thing too.

[@PurpleNovember]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@pauldillinger2286]

Looks like a really good tilt bucket. Good to see it on the machine and cant wait to see it in action. Like all the settings the machine has too. Take care brother and be safe.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks brother. I'm ready to use it. Yeah and now I have to dial the machine in for that bucket lol

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

That is going to be so nice. Glad you got it all hooked up.

[@smithworx1091]

I sure hope so. Thanks brother

[@Justalittleoutoftown]

Nice. Can’t wait to see it on the job.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks bro. It'll be soon

[@user-md2in2rf7i]

i remember a year or so ago when letsdig got his and after a while using it he said he doesn't know how he ever worked without a tilt bucket lol fun new tool(toy)

[@smithworx1091]

It's nice having a smooth cutting edge. It's like peeling butter with a knife lol

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………………………………………..Pretty cool, another tool in the tool box.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks brother. I hope it's worth the money

[@MarkSmith-vb7ym]

That 313 a cat is very very nice machine I like keep up the great work

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate it Mr Smith!

[@PurpleNovember]

2:35 It’s fitting with small hole drilled through it , it’s made to be a restriction so the bucket doesn’t slam.

[@smithworx1091]

Well it's spring loaded. But I think it's still like what you're talking about. Acts as an orfice

[@PurpleNovember]

@@smithworx1091 Yeah those springs won’t take very many hits without the flow restriction and there’s a lot better control. Your machine doesn’t necessarily need them installed but it’s assurance. I’ve seen plate and boom weld cracks from those things slamming back and forth.

Ok, I am going to have to stop watching your videos! Your causing me to spend more money. Man, that bucket is sweet!!!😀

🤣🤣 you might can have this one at a deal

[@tristardiggin]

@@smithworx1091 uh oh! That doesn’t sound good. 😳

[@VTOutdoorServices]

I don't remember which video you were talking about cameras, but I ditched Go Pro for DJI Osmo Action cameras and they're great. I have a 3 and a new 4. They knocked off GoPro. But function properly

[@smithworx1091]

I want to try the DJI. These Go Pros just don't last. It either won't cut on, shuts off for no reason or won't save the video that was just recorded. Appreciate you letting me know about the DJI.

[@lovejcdc]

Man Lindsey that is one awesome piece of equipment. So glad to see you have one ready for action. I'm excited to see you put it to use. I'm also curious how long it will be before Sam gets one for himself 😂😂😂😅

I bought one of those from AMI three years ago…big game changer…it’s been sitting behind my shop in the weeds somewhere…it didn’t change anything…just a pain in the neck having to hook up the lines, easier to just use a standard smoothie bucket…waste of money actually!

[@smithworx1091]

Well that's disheartening lol. I'm sure this one will be the same way though 🤣

[@njonebale7889]

Yeah you think you’ll use it all the time and then it becomes a hassle, now the rotary ditch bucket looks like it would work well for my pool work jobs…but I’m not plunking down 12,000 for that thing!…I’ve managed just fine so far…lol!

[@smithworx1091]

@@njonebale7889 haha yeah those things are salty. But I could see you using it a lot with a pool business

[@PurpleNovember]

For that price get another one and have the most of the bucket cut off then have a big ripper welded in. You’ll be able to angle under the tree and rip roots.

[@smithworx1091]

You're one invention away from changing the game!

[@PurpleNovember]

@@smithworx1091 I’ve always had to think outside the box to find solutions for my clients. That involved a lot of equipment modifications or building from scratch. I was always building stuff as a kid and I guess my brain is still that way. lol Edit: I’ve also seen and heard of inventions in the equipment world that were real game changers and some that were lessons in what doesn’t work. I’m just lucky enough to have been around this stuff as much as I was and able to work with some truly great minds who did change the game.

[@PurpleNovember]

⁠@@smithworx1091I think I have that invention but need a little funding and a test bed. I’d tell you about it in person.

[@njonebale7889]

@@PurpleNovember don’t waste your time, there would be way too much force applied on the hinge points and it would snap…probably on the first root!…attachment company’s already tried and scrapped the idea anyway!

[@PurpleNovember]

@@njonebale7889 Not surprised a small attachment would give up on something like that. What company tried it?

Thanks buddy

[@jimmytew9468]

That bucket looks huge. I like the replaceable cutting edge. Can't wait to see it in use. You must be left handed because it just seems natural to me that the bucket would tilt to the right when you push up on the switch and to the left when you push down. Did you video Jimmy working on the trailer? Y'all be Safe Out There

[@smithworx1091]

Well I changed it back. Because I kept wanting the bucket to operate like you said. And I never thought about being right or left handed would make us think like that. And yeah Jimmy got a good bit done on the trailer. Just waiting on some more parts to come in. I never order enough of what I need the first time lol

I have a Trojan tilt bucket looks almost identical to yours. How far does yours tilt each way? Does yours tilt 45 degrees each way? Good video.

[@smithworx1091]

I believe it tilts 45 each way. Supposed to anyways. Appreciate it buddy

[@PurpleNovember]

If I was closer I could’ve saved you a service call from golden kitty.

[@smithworx1091]

They did the easy part. They forgot to calibrate the bucket for the payload function. There's a lot to that crap

[@PurpleNovember]

@@smithworx1091That was stuff I enjoyed. lol

[@3DLevellingSolutions]

@SmithWorx do you have tilt assist with that bucket?

[@smithworx1091]

The machine is capable. But the bucket I have doesn't have the capability I don't think. It would need sensors on it correct?

[@3DLevellingSolutions]

@@smithworx1091 I was hoping you might know 😂 I just purchased one and am looking at putting my Leica 3D TPS on it. Hoping to use it semi-auto. Not found anyone that know if it’s possible for titling bucket here in the UK yet.

@3DLevellingSolutions lol. The Cat guy told me it would need the sensors I believe.
