How Tractor Attachments are Made! Hand Crafted in the USA!!

What happens here

At the welding station, skilled welders assemble the kitted components. The process typically begins with 'tacking' the pieces together to establish the initial structure and ensure correct alignment. After the parts are tacked, a full weld is applied, creating strong and durable joints. The video shows welders using Miller welders to assemble different attachments, including a large snow and litter bucket. The 'raptor claw' design on some buckets is noted as having both functional and decorative purposes, with the top claw acting as a functional cutter and the bottom claw primarily for aesthetics and added rigidity.

Goal: Assemble and weld all components to form the complete tractor attachments.
