TMCC Crane Car Bucket

That is super cool Tom! I just might have to get one of those! Thanks for posting!

Very cool, looks like a great addition to the crane!  Do you have a link to this item?

I really was pleased with how well this works.  I was thinking of painting it but I'm afraid I might mess up the action.

Very cool!  I may have to get one of those.    Thanks for posting.

Tom, that's great!  Thanks for posting.  I like how it handles the logs.

That really is cool! Ya got me thinking.

What I really like is loading and unloading logs, coal, rocks whatever you can think of using just the remote.  It's pretty easy to master and a lot of fun.  If I could just figure out how to operate both hooks simultaneously...oh well you can't have everything.

How heavy is the bucket?  My only concern is the outer hook, the aux hook, is only rated at 7oz total lift weight with the boom at a low point.

Thank for posting the link.  I think I will be getting one!!

John,

 

I had to dig out my old postal scale.  Here's what I got:

 

• The empty bucket is 1 to 1.5 oz

• The bucket with the largest MTH log is 1.5 to 2 oz

The bucket is heavy enough to make it easy to maneuver but light enough so you can pick up just about anything within reason.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Tom

Thanks Tom, that seems reasonable.

Hey Tom,

 

Would you be able to post a video showing the bucket in action?

 

Thanks!

Sorry it took so long to get this up.

That's pretty cool, no doubt about it!
