The present invention provides a reversible bucket coupler device and method of use for reversing the orientation of a bucket used with an excavator so that the teeth of the bucket is facing away from the cab of the excavator and method of use. The reversed orientation of the bucket using the reversible bucket coupler device provides an operator of an excavator the ability to complete tasks in a more efficient, clean and safe manner, as well as providing much needed flexibility in the way excavation projects can be performed.

A tool for a construction machine includes a first interface that is located at a first location on the tool, and a second interface that is located at a second location on the tool being different from the first location, wherein each of the first interface and the second interface is individually configured to mount the tool on the construction machine, and wherein the construction machine includes a loader bucket.

Disclosed embodiments include implement carriers and power machines with implement carriers. In some embodiments, the implement carriers have a mounting structure having first and second mounting structure surfaces with first and second pluralities of mounting features located along the first mounting structure surfaces, respectively. Each of the second plurality of mounted features is aligned with one of the first plurality of mounting features. The mounting structure is configured to receive an implement in a first attitude and a second attitude different from the first attitude.

A swivelable adapter device for use with skid steer loaders consists of a mounting plate and a swiveling work tool plate for holding, rotating, and positioning various skid steer attachments. Rotation about a longitudinal axis of skid steer arms is accomplished using a barrel within a barrel assembly allowing work tool plate to be positioned from angles between horizontal and vertical. A mounting plate is attached to skid steer arms and is rigidly affixed to an inner barrel. An outer barrel with a notch plate and a work tool plate slides over a greased inner barrel. Swivel operation of the work tool plate is accomplished by hand eliminating the need for hydraulic systems. Once positioned, the work tool plate is locked to a notch plate using a locking latch. The swivelable adapter device is reinforced with metal plates to handle torsion forces created by heavy loads such as trees.

The disclosure relates to an excavator bucket, which can be used both as a front loader bucket and as a backhoe bucket. The excavator bucket comprises a shell delimiting a bucket volume and a retaining device connected to the shell, via which the excavator bucket can be detachably connected to a quick coupling device of an implement. The retaining device comprises a first bolt for establishing a first connection to the quick coupling device and bolt receptacles arranged in a collinear manner to each other for establishing a second connection to the quick coupling device. According to the disclosure, the retaining device further comprises a second bolt, by means of which the first connection to the quick coupling device can be established as an alternative to the first bolt, wherein the second bolt is arranged on a side of the bolt receptacles opposite to the first bolt when viewed from above the retaining device. The bolts are arranged such that the second connection can be established via the same bolt receptacles, both when using the first bolt and when using the second bolt. The disclosure further relates to a method for converting the excavator bucket according to the disclosure between a backhoe bucket operation and a front loader bucket operation.

A quick coupler system for connecting a work tool to an arm of a work machine includes an adapter bracket with spaced apart side walls each having first and second adapter openings for receiving first and second bracket pins of a work tool bracket. The adapter bracket is disposed between bracket side walls of the work tool bracket when the adapter openings receiving the corresponding bracket pins. A coupler link having first and second coupler openings receives and engages the first and second bracket pins to connect the work tool to the arm, with the coupler link being disposed between the adapter side walls. The adapter bracket may have an adapter hydraulic interface block that is aligned with a coupler hydraulic interface block of the coupler link to form a fluid flow path for hydraulic fluid from a pressurize fluid source of the work machine to the work tool.

An adaptor for quickly, easily, and safely attaching and removing compatible tools from the end of a boom of an excavating machine.

A hybrid bucket assembly for a work vehicle having movable loader arms includes a reinforcing structure having a first edge plate, a second edge plate and at least two support members extending from the first edge plate. The reinforcing structure is for coupling the bucket assembly to the movable loader arms. The bucket assembly includes a double-wall bucket defining a volume for carrying material. The bucket is coupled to the at least two support members of the reinforcing structure, and the bucket has a leading edge coupled between the first edge plate and the second edge plate.

An adaptor configured to move a work vehicle implement includes a work vehicle portion that includes a first receiver interface configured to couple to a work vehicle. The first receiver interface includes at least one receiver locking feature configured to non-movably couple the work vehicle portion to the first connector interface. The adaptor also includes a work implement portion moveably coupled to the work vehicle portion and a second connector interface configured to couple to a second receiver interface of the work vehicle implement. The adaptor also includes a track system comprising a slot disposed within the work vehicle portion and a slider disposed on the work implement portion, wherein the slider is configured to move along the slot, and at least one actuator configured to actuate the work implement portion with respect to the work vehicle portion along a guide path.

There is described a bracket for mounting an excavation bucket on a coupler of an articulated arm. The bracket comprises a body extending in a plane and having a central portion. A first concavity on a first side of the body substantially has an arc-of-circle shape to conform with a surface of a cylinder and hinge therearound. A second concavity on a second side of the body is provided opposite the first side with respect to the central portion. A third concavity on the second side of the body substantially has the arc-of-circle shape. There are provided a first abutment edge formed by the central portion of the body; and a second abutment edge aside the first abutment edge and further from the central portion of the body compared to the first abutment edge. This bracket allows reversible mounting of the coupler of the excavation bucket.
