My 'Little Blue' is a 25hp NH DZ Sub Compact. My FEL bucket is perfectly matched to hydraulic capacity for gravel; 500lbs.
I am swamped with three lanes of snow plow snow banks. I have a 52" rear PTO Snow Blower but the FEL gets full plow/pick up and dump duty.
I cannot find a decent 'snow dedicated' bucket; options aren't great. At this point I'm looking to fab my own.
D any of you DIY have a design or know of a possible site for plans to fabricate a ' deep throat, curved to throw forward and light weight. Volume wise I'm thinking I can do 3x that of my gravel bucket.

Thankful for any input

There are "light materials" buckets that are high volume.

What do you mean "curved to throw forward"? Do you want to go fast like a snowplow on a paved road, and have the bucket shape loft the snow into the air?

Curved forward, well compared to the gravel bucket. The gravel bucket is small and the snow packs at the back wall.
The large curve at the back to cbel the snow up and forward to allow a bigger scoop ... the bottom would be deeper as well.

I would consider a "Snow Pusher" instead of a bucket. No dumping involved.
