By asking the right questions, you can easily determine which Nursery Jaws best fit your operation. For example, a small landscaper with a 1200 lb lift capacity loader does not need a Nursery Jaws 2. Conversely, a large wholesaler with a 3000 lb capacity loader should not have a Nursery Jaws Jr. There are a few exceptions to every rule, but here are a few guidelines to follow.
What materials will the NJ Jr handle? Up to 36" B&B, 20"-24" boxes, plastic containers, small rocks and boulders.
Loader requirements? 1500lbs rated capacity and less
Characteristics of the Nursery Jaws Jr? Lightweight (400-450lbs) for smaller loaders, compact for use in tight spaces (50" or 66" forks) and narrow fork spacing (parallel at 18").
Do I need to upgrade to pressure relief fittings? My opinion is yes. Attachments can build pressure from the machines they are on or weather from sitting. With a standard fitting the only way to release pressure is to crack a hydraulic line. This can hurt someone or create a mess that can damage vegetation.
Do I need flow control or a manual valve? In most cases no. You add this option if you are worried that your operators will crush the products by not controlling the speed of the attachment.
Do I need a Box style paddle? In most cases no. You only add this option if the material you handle are contained in boxes. This is mostly done in CA.
