Front-end loader bucket
Degelman Industries has added a heavy bucket to its front-end loader.
“We decided to improve upon the industry standard of a two-piece welded assembly with light side plates and no internal stiffeners,” Jack Degelman said.
The bucket has optional grapple forks available. There are two sizes – 580 and 620 pounds.
The units have a v-clamp mount for the grapple tooth bar that resists bar slippage and twisting.

Apple insecticide
A new biologically based insecticide is available for controlling oblique banded leafrollers on apples.
Dow AgroSciences has received registration for Success 480 SC, the first product in a new class of naturalyte insect controls.
The company said naturalytes are similar to biological products such as Bacillus thuringiensis and are as effective as or better than conventional insecticides.
They are considered safe for humans and the environment, and do not harm ladybird beetles, lacewings, spiders or predatory mites. The active ingredient in Success is spinosad. It is produced by fermentation of natural bacteria.
It controls several important insects that attack apples and other crops. It acts quickly through ingestion and contact.
For information, contact a Dow AgroScience dealer.
