   For a purely loader function, a clam is not the best choice. It is a heavy bucket. For every other function it's a godsend. The original clam, the DROTT SKID SHOVEL was better still Willie

   For a multi-function tractor, a clam can be very useful for things like loading, grading, grabbing and such. But now you have three cutting edges to maintain, an extra set of hoses and valves, a lower capacity bucket and more weight. But you can always put on a GP bucket, but it is nice have the dozer function. Howard

   My friend was going to attach a wench to the front of his Jeep. I thought he'd get arrested. He agreed to put a winch there instead. Willie

   A clam bucket makes it easy to doze with a loader Cat. On at least the JDs you set the loader down on the stops with the clam open and simply tilt the bucket a bit forward or back to adjust the cutting depth. Makes the loader very solid when dozing.

    Did your friend use a Swench to tighten the bolts so the wench would be secure? If not, you might need a winch to get her out of the deep ravine.
