First one shows all three


This next one is with the Shears,, my Model # 0388/1000

Next one is with the Multi Quick Processor, my Model # 0121/100


Now the Bucket version, my Model # 0406/1000


Hope you enjoy

Same as i would buy one but i like the shears as well as the bucket so i wish in the future they would sell them seperalty but i think WSI has done a great job on this one to say its there first ever digger model they have made as they make loads of trucks and cranes.

I guess ill keep my order with the bucket then. I was going to try to use the quick attach on the processor version and make a bucket to fit it

technically, its not the most realistic but it would work as one if you removed the cylinder for the jaws. And it would rotate 360

It's just a coupler to change the type of "jaw", you'll never put a bucket on that.

Example you can put either a scrap metal jaw or another one to crush concrete.

yes, but for a model it might be a fun challange to try to make a bucket to fit it

no i get it, but i dont see how doing that would ruin it. Its not like im cutting it up or really modifying anything, just removing 2 pins that are already removeable to attach it. Im not sure if its even possible yet. I just thought it would be sort of cool from a theoretical standpoint.

I think You are talking about different things here.

The quick coupler on the multi processor is to change just the tools on the processor.
See here how this works:
http://www.demarec.com/eng/multi-quick.htm

And Arioch is talking about taking off the whole processor and replace it with a bucket.
The attachments on this WSI models are held by 2 screws,not pins.Now this is not a quick coupler,but it is of course possible to change the attachents on the model.

no, they are rite. I was just thinking of doing something like this:

Think Sorry,but this does indeed not make sense.Neither in real life,nor on the model.

And it won´t work,because you can´t take off the hydraulic cylinder from the processor without damage.I already tried this in order to cast it.The parts are glued together and I ended up with just cutting them apart.
