Multi-Purpose Loader Buckets have all the advantages of a conventional loader bucket plus the ability to perform other duties without changing the bucket. Maximum bucket dump height is achieved by opening the clam to dump the material without having to rotate the bucket. The dozer blade is used for precision grading, leveling, back filling and material spreading. The clam/grapple function is used to pick up aggregate dirt, trash, brush, rocks, and debris or allow material to be evenly spread by opening the clam. The clam/grapple function also permits the precise pick and place operations. These features provide an economical multi-tasking attachment.
