hey Jonathan here at Colfax mill and
woodshop I have that Vermeer CTX 50 here
brand-new loved this thing is gonna go
over the three different attachments I
have today the forks the bucket and then
the grapple and then how to change those
attachments as well. so stay tuned
all right so here's the first attachment
it's a set of forks these turned out to
be much more useful and I thought
stacking lumber on the pallets I'm
moving the pallets around especially if
they're strapped the adjustment of the
forks are those pushpins on top you go
pretty narrow at a pretty wide I think
they're 36 inch long forks and I know
they make a 42 as well but these forks
seem to work great on all the pallets
undoing the attachments really easy just
flip both of those out as long as the
attachment is flat and then what I do is
I use the tilt function I tilt out of it
and then back up so that's how easy it
is to undo an attachment I'm just I'm
really new at all this I'm getting it
figured it out figure it out
and then here I am coming into the
bucket oh there's a price tag right
there I'm gonna do that price tag a
price tags off and then same thing I
tilt all the way down on the bucket and
then I just you know gently go in there
I kind of go a little bit lower idle now
once I kit kats out lip then I tilt up
you can see it kind of slide down there
and then jogging it a little bit and
that's how easy it is to put the bucket
attachment on to lock it in place and
now I'm ready to go with the bucket
easy and then there's tilt up tilt down
raise the bucket you can see if you're
scooping dirt you could scoop dirt lift
that bucket lift it all the way up I'm
gonna side of a trailer or wherever
you're trying to get into the back of a
truck get it all the way up
I guess that dirt would be pouring back
on me right there but then I could tilt
it down to dump I could see using that
for a lot of Bart cleanup and whatever
else using dirt around brand of easing
it in the garden we have at the high
school so there's a bucket really super
easy to attach and unattached and I'm
going to put it back down on the pallet
there and then pick up the pallet with
the bucket on it with the forks and
store them that way
all right I got that disconnected and
then here's the third attachment I got
these hydraulically activated grapples
this is the best attachment ever I love
this thing so again I'm pretty rough on
it I seen these guys just knock these
things in and out super quick but I go
slow on a low idle I tilt now catch out
lip and then I tilt up and then once I
tilt up like that and I start to shake
give it a little bit of a shake and then
that just locks it in place I turn those
locks on and now it's locked and then I
attach the hydraulics pretty easy to
test hydraulics actually before I attach
these hydraulics I turn the machine all
the way off so I turn the Machine off
I jog the controls around quite a bit
before I attach the hydraulics they just
snap in and then this is how the grapple
works so hydraulics open and close the
grapple the tilt tilts it up and down
and then lift up and down
so this grout will has amazing strength
can you check out some of my other
videos the logs I pick up with this
grapple
like that come on it as well so those
are the attachments I have for my
premiere GTX 50 all three of them seem
to work great comment down below if you
got any other ideas on it I'd love to
hear your thoughts and thank you for
watching
