Bowed Bucket: Problem or Not?

[Rameck]

I got a Markham TB as a Christmas present. They're not guaranteed if you put them on a bucket w a bent edge. However, it came w a slight bow (fr welding) that pretty much matched my bent edge. It installed just like it was made for my bucket!

Now, all I have to do is find a bowed TB that matches my bowed bucket and I'll be set.

I can tell you what worked for me. I had an 11/2" bow on my bucket. I cut a 2x4 to the length of the inside. I stood the 2x4 on its edge at the edge of the bucket and cranked down hard on the 2 clamps I put on the either end. I then lifted the fel until the bottom of the bucket was exposed to the tree I walked the tractor into. Mine was right in the middle so I aimed the bucket to hit the tree in the buckets middle. Now I need no arrows.
