What happens here

Before using the Hydro Bucket for seedbed preparation, ensure it's configured for maximum hydraulic power. Adjust the settings on the skid steer to utilize both hydraulic pumps for the attachment. This will ensure the internal rotating drum of the Hydro Bucket spins at its fastest possible speed. While this means the engine will run at higher RPMs, it provides the necessary flow for efficient soil mixing and pulverizing. Drive the skid steer slowly while the drum is engaged to allow it to thoroughly till the soil.

Goal: Optimize Hydro Bucket settings for fine soil preparation.

bed prep step [Music] so before we hook it up let's take a look at it hydra bucket for a mini loader and what a hydra bucket is if you guys aren't aware of it it's a regular bucket but then it's got a harley rake or a power rake built right into the back of it you can scoop and carry like a bucket then right down on the back side of it you hit your button inside once you're done drop your material off you can hardly rake it out it's actually really clever but i just don't know how well it'll work on a mini now they claim it well derek the owner says tons of people are buying these hydro buckets more than i don't know if he said more than what they do for regular skid loaders or not i don't know if that could be i can't imagine more people buying mini hydra buckets than regular sized ones but in my world i would have never imagined using a mini for anything now i love them one of my five favorite machines of all time a forever i mean this little tiny baby thing ranks right up there with the kamatsu d41p dozer i call them the one track wonder but they were awesome because i had power to one track always helps if you have a key how many times i've driven 15 20 miles to a job site just to have forgotten to keep it out today yeah you guys thought i forgot the key where's what are you guys see that's what you get for thinking secret key he's got a red key i'm not gonna show you where that goes you can probably imagine since i'm sticking it in some place on the back side of the machine do you know what that does that's the kill switch we're not gonna say it out loud this is just on a youtube video for anybody that wants to see it so now there's two things i got to do to optimize this bucket on the mini first one is make sure that i get my angles right because this will allow me to control how deep i grade but also i've got a one pump and a two pump option so i'm gonna go to two pumps that'll get that drum spinning as fast as possible and then i'm going to throttle it all the way up even though i don't need a lot of power the engine needs a lot of flow and that's going to increase the flow so she's going to run a little bit high
