Versatility
Work Tool Options to Meet Your Needs
Work Tools for Many Job Site Requirements
An extensive range of work tools and bucket styles are
available for the 962K to customize these machines for your
operation. The list includes: Performance Series Buckets
(General Purpose, Material Handling, Rock); Specialty
Buckets (Multi-Purpose, Side Dump, High Dump, Top Clamp,
Waste Handling, Woodchip); Pallet Forks, Forestry Forks
(Log and Lumber, Logging, Millyard, Unloading Grapple),
Pipe and Pole Forks; Plows (angle or V-style); and Rakes
(with or without top clamp).
Performance Series Buckets:
Load Easy, Fuel Efficient, Carry More
Performance Series Buckets utilize a system-based approach
to balance bucket shape with the machine’s linkage, weight,
lift and tilt capacities. Operators benefit from reduced dig
times and better material retention; ultimately translating
into significant productivity and fuel efficiency improvements.
Lower Operating Costs
Performance Series Buckets feature a longer floor that easily
digs through the pile and provides excellent visibility for the
operators to see when the bucket is full. Less time digging in
the pile results in lower fuel consumption and improved tire
life. A unique spill guard protects the cab and linkage
components from material overflow.
Higher Productivity
Performance Series Buckets achieve higher fill factors –
ranging from 100% to 115% depending on the machine
application and material type. The buckets feature optimized
geometry with a bucket opening matched to the machine’s
linkage and incorporate a curved side profile to maximize
material retention. The optimized design results in unsurpassed
production capabilities.
Unloading Grapple Fork
The new Unloading Grapple Fork is ideal for unloading
and stacking timber. A rounded top clamp and frame open
the interior profile of the fork, enabling larger capacity loads
to be moved. Easy and gentle loading out of stacks is permitted
by the short tines, while a large, broad clamp holds tight to
short or long timber. Forks are available with a kick-out
that unloads the fork even at full lift, enabling higher
lumber stacking.
