sorry for not having this page up yet, things have been kind of crazy here this past year.

as one of my customers from Australia told me in a recent email, "i'm flat out like a lizard drinking" ... heh. i guess that means i'm busy.

i will say that there are some things on the drawing board that will make the Loader and Micro Hoe more versatile tools and help you stretch your project dollar a little bit further.

one of these was our partnering wtih Salami Hydraulics to provide you with some great deals on hydraulic valves and pumps for these projects. instead of making a percentage on each valve and pump sold, we have chosen to pass these savings on to you to keep your project cost as low as possible.

i have been fabricating a pallet fork option that will bolt onto the bucket brackets in place of the bucket and am also designing an extendable version of the crowd arm for our prototype Micro Hoe.

stay tuned for the latest details and pics on these upgrades.

UPDATE! (12-19-07) the pallet fork project has been completed and tested and recently the extend-a-hoe option for the Micro Hoe has also been completed and is under testing. currently though (12-19-07) the ground is frozen here so testing on the extend-a-hoe option has been put off until the spring thaw.

i hope to have a couple of dedicated picture pages for these two options up soon, so you can have a look at how they were built.

the extend-a-hoe option was added to our existing Micro Hoe using as much of what was already there to keep the cost and fabrication time down.

currently on the drawing board is a self leveling linkage for the loader that can easily be retro fitted to an existing loader.
