- Quick breakdown on setting up your AMI tilt bucket. This is the 48" version designed for the 305 and 305.5.
I find that its the perfect size for this machine many other brands try and go too big causing the bucket to throw the machine around.
If you are looking for a tilting grade bucket for your mini or full sized excavator these are a fantastic choice.

Keep the videos coming my new friend , thank you !
I bought a 42” version of this when I bought my VIO50 this spring. Should be here soon.
you'll love it since I have to stop to have someone undo the coupler or jump out and do it myself I have never even used my non tilting grading bucket. I always just throw this one on the 2 hydraulic lines just take an extra second and its much more useful!
If I may ask how much was that tilt attachment the one I'm looking for for my bobcat 335 is $6,000 and I already have the ditching bucket why do you have but just the 190° Tilt assembly is 6000 I believe, thanks, really enjoy your videos
hey Johnny when I got the bucket while purchasing my machine it was around 3K if I remember right. I looked into the tilting coupler specifically the Helac however it was going to require additional accessory lines be run and complicated running a hammer or other hydraulic attachments. I'm not sure where you are digging but I was concerned about how well the tilting coupler would hold up dealing with rocks. Either route you choose having the capacity to tilt especially when grading is really great!
@@TylerBemis thank you so much I appreciate everything you can tell me ! I'll look forward to the opportunity to get the attachment and get it working, I can clearly imagine a thousand times that it would have come in so handy and save to me hours and hours of shoveling, now I just got to talk my wife into it LOL easier said than done sometime but it's all good
The tilt bucket and the thumb clip share the same pipeline. Can you choose to control the tilt bucket or the thumb clip?
you can do one function at a time by closing the quick connector shut offs. This is something you have to do manually outside the machine but you can use this bucket in a fixed position and control the thumb if you wanted.
@@TylerBemis thank you!
Does the bucket do a full 180°
This isn't a tilt rotator the bucket does 45 degrees to the left and right it only tilts it doesn't rotate. You'd want to look into a Rototilt/Engcon/Steelwrist for that application. With a pin grabber style coupler which the CAT machines generally use you can install the bucket backward and use it as a front shovel if you wanted.
Part number and price thanks
I tried to buy from AMI but they wouldn’t sell direct to me like they did to letsdig18 and cotontop. So I bought a Mongo.
what was the reason for them not selling to you directly? I got this one from Milton Cat our local dealer. I've gotten quotes for other people from AMI and they didn't make an issue about buying direct.
Tyler Bemis a guy named Andy Lock at AMI. He asked for my “regular parts supplier” to send a quote to in which I don’t really have so I gave him my dealer info but never heard back. I’m small potatoes. Pretty arrogant of them
@@tbirdage thats unfortunate. I was just looking at the Mongo and it looks very comparable so I don't think you missed out on anything. I wonder if they are behind on production and are sending everything they are making to dealers. Regardless shouldn't have treated you like that.
Tyler Bemis mongo has been top notch.
