This contractor review covers the Werk-Brau hydraulic tilting grading bucket in real ditching and finish work. You'll hear direct field feedback on control, cleanup, and daily use from Andrew St. Jacques at Four Seasons Landscaping. You'll see how the tilt function helps you shape ditches and hold grade on slopes.
TRANSCRIPT: I'm Andrew St. Jake from Four Seasons Landscaping. We're right out here out of Windsor, Connecticut. I'm the operations manager and construction projects superintendent.
We're trying out this Werk-Brau articulating bucket. Right now, we're using it for back filling between the sidewalk and the curbs and also doing a little bit of top soil up on an island up top. The increased length of the bottom of the bucket and the depth of the bucket really makes it a lot nicer than some of the other grading buckets that are, you know, a lot shorter and it's really smooth articulating side to side.
This bucket has really been helpful getting into those tight spaces. Even granted the width and the size of it. I would highly recommend this attachment to other operators, other companies. Werk-Brau is a fantastic attachment manufacturer. Three of our other excavators have Werk-Brau couplers, thumbs, and buckets.
The longevity that we've gotten out of them has been superior to some of the other manufacturers. The quality of the bucket, I think it'll last thousands of hours.
