I added the mini-bucket to my VersaFrame which is a great attachment design. Overall, the bucket works well, but the main issue is with being able to see where you’re trying to dig. Once the bucket is below the front of the tractor, you have no vision on its position unless you lean way out from your seat. Even then, it can be nearly impossible to see exactly where the teeth of the bucket are contacting. This isn’t a design flaw of the attachment, but just the nature of working with the center of an FEL attachment hidden by the hood of the tractor itself. Build quality seems good and it does work when you can see, but don’t expect the same ease of use as a backhoe.
