It's not a "tilt/rotation type bucket". The tiltrotator is an attachment on it's own attached on the stick - meaning; it's has nothing to do with the bucket. But on/or under the tiltrotator you can attach a long range of different type of buckets and other tools; Grading bucket (most common used), Cable bucket, A VA-bucket (that's a bucket for sewer pipe graves, profile bucket, Grading beam, pallet forks, A brush to clean up a work site. With Engcon EC-Oil (= Oil connections are automaticly attached to the tool, the oil goes through the tiltrotator in a swivel - no hydraulic hoses to attach manually) you can attach hydraulic operated tools with ease like a rotating brush, hydraulic pallet forks, crapple for stones or timber trunks.. The list could go on for ever..... Check up 'Duckgirl86' here on YT to see a skilled girl using a varity of equipment with an tiltrotator.

Go with rototilt or indexator, here in sweden the customer usually demands it for the jobs, however they do pay a small fee extra for it. But the advantage is that you can also use your old buckets, the disadvantage is that if your about to use heavy force to get a big rock etc (unless you digging around it) up, you may end up breaking it and need a repair, so then we usually end up removing the tool before using heavy force.
