Just out of curiosity, why did you have your bucket so high?
Good question! Picture this: An inground swimming pool. The pool has a 42" high metal ornamental fence around it. A Koi pond is located in corner, between pool sidewalk and fence. I am eliminating pond, so...after draining there is a lot of rounded stone, rocks, all there when pond was built for looks.
I have to get rid of rocks, rounded smooth rocks and river stone...so...I pull tractor up to fence, hoist fel is above fence, bucket is at about 45' angle.
I load bucket....get in tractor, start, slowly lift fel, move back, AND ON THE THIRD BUCKET LOAD I CURL BUCKET BACK BEFORE I LOWER FEL. hello 20lb rock! Am I stupid. Yes, I know better at 55 years old. Frickin moron I am.
