Default Re: one cubic yard loader bucket

So I decided to build a replacement bucket for my loader, a bucket
that could carry 1 cubic yard of material (heaped). Of course,
this won't be a cy of rocks or wet dirt, and it lends itself to manual
loading, not driving into a pile.
My first impression of seeing your new bucket was to think the front should have been a 6" to 1' high lip. Since you are not pushing this into a pile, it doesn't really have to have a thin lip, does it? I think it's a terrific idea for all kinds of carrying jobs, but I think if it is sitting flat on the ground while you are filling it, you may have things falling out the front until you get it curled back. That's my only suggestion on what seems like a great idea to me.
