A bucket crusher has a box-shaped bucket body defining a loading compartment and an unloading opening, a crusher unit configured to crush sheet material and having a cylinder with a plurality of crusher teeth connected to a cylinder wall, each crusher tooth of the plurality of crusher teeth extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The plurality of crusher teeth has at least one high crusher tooth and at least one low crusher tooth. The distance between the cylinder wall and the distal end of the at least one high crusher tooth is greater than the distance between the cylinder wall and the distal end of the at least one low crusher tooth.

A pipe-laying system and method includes assessing an environment and placing of a pipe from an excavator to a trench. The system comprises a frame, a boom assembly, and an implement. The boom assembly includes a large boom and a dipper stick. The implement is detachable coupled to the dipper stick and moveable relative to the dipper stick. The system also includes at least one sensor operable to sense a position or a direction of movement of the large boom, dipper stick, or implement. The system also includes a stereo camera to obtain visual data. A controller is adapted to receive the visual data signal, identify an edge of the pipe, receive a signal from the sensor, associate the visual data with corresponding data, create visual feedback and an input signal the position of the boom assembly.

The invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder, for example for use with a hydraulic tool, which hydraulic tool is provided with a frame and an element which is movable with respect to the frame by means of the hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic tool which is operated by means of a hydraulic cylinder as described above is known from, for example, European patent no. 0641618. This patent discloses a frame which is coupleable to a jib of an excavator or the like and to which an assembly of two jaws can be coupled. One of the jaws is pivotable with respect to the other jaw by means of a hydraulic adjusting cylinder (a double-acting piston/cylinder combination).

The skid steer manure spreader attachment includes a main bucket compartment, a cover, and a beater shaft. The bucket, cover, and beater shaft are preferably formed of welded steel. The bucket has an industry standard quick attach plate on the back so it can be quickly attached to any standard skid steer, and is a standard width. A hydraulic motor operates the beater shaft and the cover. The beater shaft has blades angled in two directions. The beater shaft spins forward so the beater blades through manure out of the top of the bucket, above the shaft. The hydraulic motor drives the top sprocket, and a chain drives the bottom sprocket. A tensioner pivots on one screw to allow the user to tension the chain as needed.

A power rake and multi-purpose bucket combo attachment includes a power rake drum, a multi-purpose bucket and a frame. The multi-purpose bucket is configured to dig, scoop, lift, carry, clamp, pinch or hold. The frame is configured to hold the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket in positions for operation on a loader machine. The frame also includes a plate configured for attachment to a loader machine. Wherein, the power rake and multi-purpose bucket combo attachment is configured to combine the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket that can dig, scoop, lift, carry, clamp, pinch or hold in a single attachment, whereby the power rake multi-purpose bucket combo attachment provides operations of both the power rake drum and the multi-purpose bucket.

Compact tool carriers having a loader mounted to a low-profile mainframe are disclosed. In some embodiments, the pivot points of the mainframe about which the loader is pivoted are low relative to the mainframe to reduce the mainframe size and to lower the center of gravity to improve the stability of the compact tool carrier during use.
