Disclosed is a ground modifying apparatus of a type sometimes known as levellers, typically as used on tractors and skid-steer vehicles. In current practice these are used for preparing, levelling, and contouring the ground. Such device includes at least an accessory body portion supporting a ground modifying accessory or includes a way to attach the same. The apparatus includes a travelling carriage assembly pivotably attached by a carriage pivot, about a rotational axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the apparatus. The carriage pivot is positioned lower than the center of gravity of the travelling carriage assembly.

The present invention provides a device that comprises a housing with a protection screen and a chain storage rack secured inside the housing. The present invention further includes an attachment plate positioned on the back side of the housing, a winch assembly attached to the housing, a boxed blade attached to the front side of the housing, a plurality of gripper steel teeth attached to the boxed blade, and a plurality of D-rings attached to the housing.

A construction equipment location calibration apparatus that includes a method of use being operable to validate the geo-location of either construction equipment or an element thereof prior to executing a task such as but not limited to excavation. The present invention includes a plate assembly wherein the plate assembly includes a plate member. The plate member of is planar in manner and includes an upper surface. The upper surface of the plate member has alignment indicia thereon. The alignment indicia is operable to mark the center of the plate member and further provide a visual guide for a user to place an element of construction equipment thereon in order to validate the geo-location of the element ensuring correlation with the measured geo-location of the center of the plate member. The plate member includes a plurality of anchor members that are configured to secure the plate assembly into the ground.

Provided is a manipulation apparatus for a rockbreaker, the apparatus comprising a manipulation tool defining at least one substantially flat surface, a mounting configured to swivelably mount the manipulation tool on the rockbreaker such that an angle formed between an axis along the flat surface and an impact axis of the rockbreaker is infinitely adjustable. Apparatus further includes an actuator arrangement configured to swivel the tool so that the flat surface is selectively and infinitely adjustable relative to the impact axis to facilitate manipulation of material by the tool.

An excavator bucket locking and security device that is engageable with a backfill blade of an excavator. The locking and security device has a connection device for connection to the excavator bucket. The connection device includes an upper pipe for engaging the bucket's upper receptacles. The connection device also has a lower pipe that is positionable next to the bucket's lower receptacles. An insertable pole is insertable through the lower pipe and through the lower bucket receptacles. The locking and security device also includes a pipe connection device for connecting the upper pipe to the lower pipe. A hook is connected to the pipe connection device. The hook is engageable with a backfill blade of an excavator.

An implement attachment device for tractors allowing for easy and quick attachment of implements and tools to a tractor bucket along with correspondingly easy and quick detachment of such implements and tools, wherein such device may itself may be readily connected or disconnected to the bucket and while connected may be easily switched from a bottom use-ready position to a top stowed position in relation to the tractor bucket.

A milling attachment is attachable to a host vehicle so that the host vehicle provides propulsion of the milling attachment. The milling attachment has a milling drum, a discharge baffle, and a baffle actuator. The milling drum is adjustably positioned vertically to determine milling depth. The discharge baffle is positioned rearward of the milling drum and pivotally adjustable to maintain a desired space between the milling drum and the discharge baffle at any of the vertical positions of the milling drum. The baffle actuator causes the pivoting of the discharge baffle. The milling attachment may further comprise a hood with a bit access hatch that provides access to the milling drum. The milling attachment may also further comprise a connection securing assembly for securing the milling attachment to the host vehicle by securing a bucket of the host vehicle within a bucket slot in the milling attachment.

An articulated rake assembly attachable to an excavating vehicle having a bucket. The rake assembly has a rake mechanism adapted and constructed to retain material having a certain size. A reciprocating mechanism operationally connects the rake mechanism to the bucket of the vehicle, and is adapted and constructed to selectively reciprocate the rake mechanism with respect to the bucket, thereby selectively retaining material. The rake mechanism configurable to have either or both a push orientation and a gather orientation.

Bucket mountable plow suitable for mounting on a front bucket of a loader vehicle may include a clamp assembly configured for mounting on the front bucket of the loader vehicle. A plow blade mount assembly may be carried by the clamp assembly. The plow blade mount assembly may have a fore-aft axis configured to be oriented along a direction of travel of the loader vehicle. A plow blade may be carried by the plow blade mount assembly. The plow blade may be disposed at a blade angle with respect to the fore-aft axis.

An attachment for an earth-working bucket having a pair of sidewalls and a digging edge with a plurality of forwardly extending teeth. The attachment has a pair of working plates and a pair of side plates each joined with both working plates and extending rearwardly therefrom. The pair of working plates converge together to a straight scraping edge and have inside surfaces together defining a teeth-receiving cavity. A method includes placing the attachment with the straight scraping edge forward of the teeth such that the teeth are in the teeth-receiving cavity, positioning each side plate against a surface of the respective sidewall of the bucket and securing each side plate to the respective sidewall of the bucket.
