The Shimek Tilt Bucket is a simple idea that saves time: tilt the cutting edge to match the surface, make a clean pass, and move on. No wrestling the machine to hold a tricky angle. No extra laps to fix highs and lows. Just quicker, cleaner work you can count on through Lethbridge’s freeze–thaw and everyday yard conditions.
What The Tilt Feature Does
Tilt control lets the operator set the edge where it needs to be without rolling the whole machine. That means you keep traction, hold the line, and cut once instead of twice. The result is fewer corrections, fewer back-drags, and a smoother finish with less effort.
Where It Helps (Everyday Jobs)
- Cleanup after weather: smooth out ruts and rough spots quickly.
- Along bunklines and fence lines: keep edges clean without over-scraping.
- Light grading: set a consistent surface on lanes, lots, and approaches.
- Stockpiles: tidy around piles and control the face angle with less spill.
- General site work: tidy construction or farm areas where surface quality matters.
Why It Saves Time
- Cleaner passes: match the grade with the bucket—not by rocking the machine.
- Fewer re-cuts: less rework and back-blading to fix uneven spots.
- Lower fatigue: smoother control lets operators stay accurate longer.
- Shorter cycles: minutes saved per task add up over a day and a season.
Day-To-Day Results
With tilt, you spend more time finishing and less time correcting. Surfaces look better, water runs where it should, and the machine sees fewer hard jolts from repeated corrections. Over time, that means steadier schedules and tighter control on fuel, time, and wear. It’s a straightforward way to keep work moving when conditions change and material doesn’t behave the same from morning to afternoon.
See It, Then Decide
Take a quick look, then get a price. No guesswork—just practical tools that help you finish faster.
