What happens here
The video begins by showcasing a Kubota mini excavator. The first action is to remove the standard digging bucket that is typically attached to the excavator's arm. This is a common procedure for swapping attachments. Following the bucket removal, a specialized hydraulic attachment, identified as the 'CMP Hydro Gripple,' is connected to the excavator arm. This attachment combines the functionality of a hydraulic grapple (for securely gripping objects) with a tilt-rotator (allowing 360-degree rotation and tilting of the attached tool), which is crucial for the precise manipulation of heavy stone blocks. The operator ensures the attachment is securely fastened and ready for operation.
Goal: Equip the excavator with the necessary tool for precise stone handling.
