Bucket Mounted Fishing Platform

[olenjohn]

I've been kicking this idea around in my head for a year or two. I'd like to be able to fish off of our dam and it's pretty steep. I've already have holes in the bucket of my tractor that I attach redneck pallet forks (4x4's) to. I'd like to attach 4 4x4's and plywood to the bucket to make a mobile fishing platform. I would also attach adjustable supports on the front of the platform and set the bucket down to support the back. I think my wife, son, and I could fish off the front, sitting down with our legs hanging over.

Bad idea. FEL on a tractor is most likely not endorsed by the manufacturer for personnel hoist or platform. Do a Google search and there are numerous incidents reported of injuries and deaths from person in, on, around the FEL of tractors. Too many things can go wrong so why put someone in danger by doing this.

JESUS!!! How big are the fish that you need to use your FEL? I think you really need a bigger boat.

His grandfather fished the pond before tractors.
