Anyone here heard of a "superpan"?

I picked this up at an auction today. I move around lots of firewood. This looks like it'll come in handy.

Cool! Looks perfect for moving the wood around.

I have never heard it called that. I have ween them called dump boxes. They use them a lot in Europe to move thing (dirt, gravel) on tractors that don't have front loaders. May I ask how much you were able to get it for? Anyway, nice score!

I got it for 300. I wanted to go 250 max but there were lots of bidders.

Chuck if it was mine I would straighten that bent in section a bit, and get 3 or 4 cans of rusty metal primer, and 3 or 4 cans of Rusteoleum "Lobster Red" which is a near perfect match for your Kioti, and make it pretty.

There's a hospital bed joke in here somewhere...

Interested widget. Thanks for posting a pic.

Nothing is bent on it Jim, The dumper works well too. I hear you about the Rustoleum. There is quite a bit of surface rust, understandably for its age, but no rust through. I'll get a few years out of it. I'm thinking of getting rustoleum's rust reformer. Then I'll go with the lobster red.
I loaded it up with firewood, calculated it would hold .4 cords when stacked. Really speeds up the firewood.

I live in Traphill and those were made about 2 miles from my home. Company was small and has closed down now. Haven't heard of one in several years but were quite popular around here.
