What machine do you have one here for a 10-13ton machine http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/machinery/3263394

Ps. Cheaper make one @ that money.

Yeah something like that, its a 4 ton machine so it would need to be smaller but it would be cutting less turf a time then. Not much in it so be an easy and cheap enough to make...

hi jo,
i got a bucket made similar to the one in the done deal that cuts eight turf, and both ends are splade a little to let the turf fall out easier, didnt get to use it last year as me bog was to wet, but did try it out a small bit and seemed to work well wit a bit off practise.

Thanks,

Is it the one with the ram on it?

Or just the more simpler one?

It's just the simple one jo, a local welder made it for me.
