A cable puller and a related method of use are provided. The cable puller includes a frame, a winch mounted to the frame, a frame mount and one or more redirection pulleys that guide a cable. The mount is mountable to an arm of a piece of equipment, e.g., excavator, backhoe, loader, etc., and configured to allow manipulation and tilting of the frame to align the redirection pulley at a level and orientation relative to an underground tubing that is to be decommissioned and/or replaced. A deflection plate can be joined with the frame forward of the pulley to protect the pulley if the cable draws a portion of the underground tubing toward it. A splitting wedge can be joined to the frame to fracture underground tubing drawn toward the plate or pulley. Related methods of use also are provided.

Rail car mover attachment and related method of use
A rail car mover attachment includes a remote removably mounted in a machine cab and including an emergency actuator to abruptly activate a rail car brake, a lock pin actuator to move a lock pin relative to a rail car latch in a rail car coupler, and/or a controlled stop actuator to selectively activate a rail car brake. The attachment can include an onboard compressor, such as a high volume compressor. The attachment can include a disconnect unit that self-activates rail car brakes if the attachment loses power or detaches from equipment. The attachment can include a light showing the attachment is charged and running or showing a fault. The attachment can include a laterally extending indicator arm deployable when the rail car coupler is fully attached to the rail car, and that extends beyond a rail car width so that a spotter can visually verify the coupler status. A related method of use also is provided.
B61G 5/08 - Couplings not otherwise provided for for, or combined with, couplings or connectors for fluid conduits or electric cables for fluid conduits
B61G 1/28 - Couplings comprising interengaging parts of different shape or form and having links, bars, pins, shackles, or hooks as coupling means with vertical bolt or pin
B61J 3/12 - Self-propelled tractors or pushing vehicles, e.g. mules
A load sensor bucket for equipment is operable in a loading mode and a metering mode. In the loading mode, the bucket is disposed to load material. In the metering mode, the bucket is tilted upward with the load sensors oriented to form a vertical metering column that is substantially perpendicular to a ground surface. In the metering mode, the bucket orients a center of mass of the material within the vertical metering column so that the load sensors can measure the bucket load. The measurement can be conveyed to an operator of the machine, who can then determine real time whether the bucket is loaded to a target amount of material. A related method can include detecting a load parameter, such as stress/strain, via the load sensors and displaying output in a cab.
