3-pt dump bucket - worthwhile or worthless?

MadReferee · Apr 26, 2005

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I thought it to be questionable in design, just about worthless actually, although I suppose it might be an ok carryall/dumpbox as is for somebody without a FEL. Anyways, Mad got it right, my interest was for the frame as starter material for my own custom designed carryall. The pic is all I have to go by, so I don't know what support frame is under the box, or if it is beefy enough to even make an offer on. BTW, owner is asking $150. )</font>

You can buy the steel (2.5" x 1/4" angle) and lift pins and top link pin for a carry-all for about $50 depending on your steel supplier's prices. Professionally designed plans for a carry-all will cost another $7. If all you want is a carry-all look alike then roll your own and let some other uninformed sucker buy the "dump bucket".

Well, since I would only care for the framing, I'm sure he isn't interested selling for what I think it's worth. The shipping weight/freight force you to buy local IMO. Unfortunately, I haven't found one local for the right price yet, new or used. Best off to scrounge some tubing and go at it myself I think. Man, I gotta get a welder. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
