Somewhere on the PowerTrac forum a member made a leaf bucket out of a heating oil tank. It was BIG.
Has anyone used a ‘dumpster bucket’ on their loader?

Large Bucket Container.
Large Bucket Container. Has anyone made a large container bucket or bought one for a PT 425/422? I am talking about one that would hold about 50 cubit feet of material. I am thinking about building one and would like to see or hear some ideas. Maybe one that you could make from an old oil...

Get the bucket sprayed with bed liner to limit rust.
Be careful with over sized buckets. An overloaded bucket has the ability to break a tractor in half. It happened to a friend when he loaded his 1710 bucket with stone by hand. He was able to put much more stone in the bucket than he could have by loading the bucket with the tractor. When he hit a bump it broke the bell housing into two pieces.

With all the manure mentioned, why not just get a manure spreader? When it's full spread it around.

One problem I can see is that if the manure is wet, it may stick in the bucket, then you'll only be able to half fill it each time unless you scrape the stuck stuff out each time. FWIW, how many trips are you making now? If you are making 6 and this will cut it to 2, it might not be worth it. Is there any way to have the dumpster stationed closer to the barn?
I would be a little careful with loading horse manure into a dump trailer using that bucket with the closed front lip. I have horses and make a huge pile to the side of my barn which after a year or so is moved to my pastures and dumped using a dump trailer. I have found that fully loaded my skidsteer can be right on the limits to tip weight wise, and with that front closed lip you would need to raise the bucket high and completely tilt to clear it out, setting yourself up for tipping onto the dump trailer. I would go for a larger bucket without that lip if it were me.
