#3bucketchallenge

Thought I would add this video. Just something to try if you have a slow day and to get a break from plowing snow. This is MUCH harder than it sounds. The two big problems were visibility and the bucket handles being to small. I might try a different type of bucket or modify the handles and see how it works out.

This weekend we have several ladies lined up to give this a try. Most have never been on a tractor before so it could be pretty entertaining. Plus they're a little more fun to look at. I'll post that video here if anyone cares to check it out.

Here is part of the fun we had over the weekend. Gloria may not have a lot of experience on the tractor but she's a competitor for sure, and decided she wants to be a future farmer.

Ha. Sounds like a good way to break some 5-gal buckets.

 

[Leo182]

Yeah, there were definitely some buckets broke. I also learned that a few thousand pounds crashing down on a plastic bucket will almost weld them together.

Let's see, was your time 2hr 25min. or 2 min 25 sec? Just kidding - looks difficult. I would have been tempted to continue using the first handle. Nice Job.

 

[Leo182]

From start to finish, probably a lot closer to 2 hours, 25 minutes LOL. We actually did change it to just use the first bucket handle. The handle on the second bucket wouldn't reach over the top with another bucket in it.

Along with the chain in the box game, this looks like fun...
