I am building a 84 inch smoot bucket for my 148 FEL on a JD4020.
I am using 1/4 mild plate. It will be a flat bottom bucket with a 90 degree break making a 32 inch bottom and a 45 degree break so the top of the bucket is at 24 inches. The sides will be welded both sides and there will be two gussets lined up with the center of the loader arms from the 45 down the back and right along the bottom to the front of the bucket. I will use a one piece 4 x 1/2 piece of AR Plate for the wear strip and weld 4 evenly spaces skids on the bottom same as the wear strip.
Anyone have concerns or thoughts?
