"STICK" ADDS TO EXCAVATOR'S REACH

Add-A-Sticks, designed by Richard Borglum and manufactured by L&G Products Company, increase an excavator's length. They are available in lengths of 8 to 26 ft and will fit most major makes of excavators. They vary in weight from 1000 to 3500 lb. and have the same height and width as regular sticks. Add-A-Sticks are made from T-1 steel and use high-pressure, top quality cylinders. They can be attached or removed in about an hour, using the same pins as the excavator's bucket. Only one hydraulic valve is needed. They have been used on a 5-mile ditch cleaning job and to clean large peat bogs on a highway extension job.
