Every contractor has to buy new equipment, whether because the units he owns don’t fit anymore or because new projects require additional foundation machines. Buying a piling or drilling rig means a serious impact on your budget, though so many comparisons have to be completed in order to purchase the right equipment. We have listed some aspects worth considering below.
What’s the purpose of the job?
The most important question to be answered is what type of machine is needed. What is the main purpose of the rig you would like to add to your fleet? Depending on these variables, a short list of rigs can be made and more research can be conducted before you make your final decision on purchases. To this end, an exploratory meeting with a sales engineer can be very useful when considering buying new equipment.
What’s your budget?
Although acquiring new foundation equipment means a serious investment, we’d recommend that you look further than the lowest price. Is a brand new machine a must, or do you want to add an overhauled used machine to your fleet? Remember, too, that the purchase price of a rig is not the only cost you have to deal with. Bear in mind the quality of the machine and the condition. In the case of an overhauled machine, remember to check the number of running hours, where the rig is coming from, and what application it was doing – so that you can estimate upcoming service costs.
What service level do you expect?
After you’ve purchased your rig, the expenditures do not stop. After a certain period of time, parts need to be replaced and maintenance has to be planned. Before you buy foundation equipment, have a look at the price and service level of these aspects and try to forecast the future expenses. It’s also relevant to find out the proximity of a service location and the quality of the first line support, as well as service and repair costs.
What do you expect when the rig is delivered?
A new rig means new features and options. Next to a user manual, we’d recommend that you make sure to have full support on determining how things work upon delivery of the rig. Try to include in your contract some familiarization time for your operator so he gets the best information first hand, and so that he can use the equipment to its full potential.
Of course, there are many other aspects to take into account when buying a new rig. For example, transport regulations, parts availability, and payment structures.
The Bud Buckers quickly and gently removes the Buds from the stem, utilizing rollers that grab the stem, and pull the stem through various hole sizes. The Bud Buckers can be used for both wet, and dry product, and with its unique speed control, and hole design, both models will pluck the Buds from the stem, without damaging the product. The Bud Buckers will help you complete the Bucking process, in half the time, and with half the staff.
The Bud Buckers comes standard with a workstation, forward, reverse, and true speed control to adjust the feed rate for wet and dried product. The Bud Bucker has a removable chute and 8 feed holes with interchangeable tips. The Bud Bucker Mini has a removable chute and 4 feed holes with interchangeable tips. Tips sizes can also be ordered custom to your preference. The Bud Bucker accommodates 2 people feeding simultaneously from either side of the unit.
Important Note: If break down of colas are a concern, cut the cola off the top before feeding the stem into the bucker. Keep in mind that at some point prior to packaging the buds will have to be broken down. Most facilities do not package buds larger than golf ball size. Consider allowing the bucker to perform the inevitable and break the colas down for you, as it will have to be down at some point
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
1. Cut the banding and remove the unit from the pallet, peel off protective film
2.Lift and rotate open the back panel and lock the lid stays
3.Place a Bud collection bin on the front shelf below the feed holes, ensuring that the container sits tight to the front panel with no gap between
4.Place a stem collection container on the back side, and base of the unit
5.Plug the power cord into an 110VAC outlet and power on the unit
6.The Bud Bucker is now ready for use

1.Properly prep the product by removing all fan leaves and individualizing the stems from the stock
2.When bucking dry product run at slower speeds, when bucking fresh product run at faster speeds, find the speed that plucks the buds best, faster or slower isn’t always better and can vary by strain
3.Be sure to leave 2-3” at the base of the stem, so that the rollers have something to grab onto
4.If there is a Bud at the base of the stem, simply pull that first Bud off by hand and then feed the stem into the appropriate hole
5.Although the Bud Bucker can handle stems with multiple offshoots, we recommend that you individualize them as much as possible
6.Feed the stem into the appropriate hole, ideally the stem is slightly smaller than the hole size, do not feed a small stem through the largest hole, as it will pull some of the Bud through and will not pluck the Bud properly
7.If a branch you are feeding into a hole has secondary stems be sure to feed it into a hole size that will accommodate the thickness of the secondary stems
8.Grouping several small stems together and feeding them through an appropriate larger size hole is an option
9.If a stem only has one or two Buds on it, don’t bother feeding it into the machine, pluck them by hand and move on
10.Utilize the reverse switch if a cola is too large and cannot be pulled through the hole, cut the top off, and switch back to forward
11.Continue feeding stems into the appropriate holes, and remember to empty the stem collection bin
12.For quicker production use two people on either side of the machine
13.You can optionally Buck and Trim the product with the fan leaves on, and although it may be faster, keep in mind that this will change the quality of your Trim, due to excessive chlorophyll in the fan leaves, it is best to remove the fan leaves before the harvest, and ideally during the flushing period
14.For the best trimming results, ensure that there is no excess stem at the base of the bud, and that each bud has been completely individualized and most importantly, to avoid crows’ feet, that all fan leaves have been removed
Important Note: If break down of colas are a concern, cut the cola off the top before feeding the stem into the bucker.
