Rotator?

I was just surfing You Tube and came across this video:

The woods are pretty much just like that for us right now, logging has been difficult at best!


Anyhow the red and white machine, looks like maybe a Takeuchi 135 or 138?, has a rotator on the bucket. I've never see something like that before.

Did a bit of interweb searching on it and it looks to be a somewhat common thing in Europe, not so much in the US.

Seems like it would be really handy for doing fine grading work where you can slope the bucket. The last job I did was putting in a few ditches and culvert pipes. I got it as close as I good to final grade and then hand raked the rest. Granted I only had a digging bucket with some knarly frost teeth on it too so not like I could smooth it out well.

I've haven't seen other bucket pics on here with frost teeth, guess it's not too common? I did those ditches around the middle of June and I was hitting frost 1-2ft down.
