Well within the next month or so i will be needing a way to unload hay from a gooseneck so i started making a slip-n-pin on front bale spear. i have seen a few for sale that you slip on and bolt to the bottom of the bucket. i didnt like that idea because then i would have a hole int he bucket i saw some other that used chains and binder to attach it to the bucket. didnt really car for them wither just didnt look right. then there were replacemnt one where you pull the 4 main pins for the bucket, remove the bucket and attach the spear. talk about a pain. so I took a different approach and had the bottom slip over the edge fo the bucket like the other but the top will pin into place with 2-7/8' pins at the top of the bucket. i made some tabs for the top of the bucket for it all to attach to. i can now make other attachment to go onto the tabs. i have been eyeing some root rakes. any ways here are some pics of my progress. it got cut short tonight. i ran out of Oxygen. Hopefully Praxair is open tommorow and i can swap out my bottle and get a role of wire and get it finished up.
Here are the pics
