cutntrim is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd love a combination bucket, but my 553 is only rated for 950lbs and the bucket is too heavy when loaded for my machine according to Bobcat. Perhaps there are other manufacturers of combo/4-in-1 buckets?

One other attachment that looks interesting is the "digger". The 553 is only spec'd for a 12" or 16" size (listed info on Bobcat's website) but even the 12" could be used for trenching, or removing/planting shrubs...

Doing interlock borders alongside asphalt drives might be an application where the digger could work, eliminating having to use the dirt bucket on a skidsteer, or rental of a mini-x.
