Input on a high volume, low weight hauling need.

[Wagtail]

I have a two-prong hay spear on my FEL, the spacing of the spears fits a standard pallet. I built/modified a pallet with flooring, back & sides and attached it to the backstop of the attachment with rope.

Primarily I use this to collect chips from my chipper and then transport/dump the chips/mulch where I want it. I don't see why this couldn't fit your needs.

If all you need is a larger bucket for your tractor to haul more at a time, how about getting something like this and strapping it to bucket forks on your fel.

I agree. A larger bucket for lightweight material.

Someone on the PowerTrac forum made a large bucket out of an old heating oil tank removed from a basement. Just weld a few gussets here and there for strength, and a QA plate for a skid steer quick attach and off you go. You could leave it in the barn until it's full, then pick it up and go.

Build yourself a manure catapult. Call it Fling-**it-Hi.

Evacuate and spread it all in one motion.

I've thought about running gear and building a dump bed for it. Those Jr. running gear are low enough that it would work well. I like having 4 tires on the ground which makes on/off the UTV easy and quick. It can also easily be dropped at the barn and the UTV used otherwise. This is one of the reasons a bigger bucket really isn't an option, I'd like to find a dedicated 'mover' which doesn't restrict using other equipment. Changing out a bucket and/or dedicating my tractor to this task isn't putting it to its best use for me. I appreciate the thought however, and it would likely address the problem, if not for this issue.

Peter, what/where did you get that trailer? I've looked online, and not had any luck in finding a small dump that size. I'd still rather have an electrohydraulic for a UTV, but that would work for my needs.

I got it a few years ago its made by Cam Superline trailers I don't know if they still make it ,But you could get the battery hydraulic pump for it as a option..Really any small 5x8 dump trailer will work.....
