Front end loader construction

[joes_427_vette]

Just purchased a new 4110 john deere. I would like to build a front end loader for it and was wondering if anyone has constructed one and what thickness the materials are required to be. I think it would be a fun project and the machine is just big enough to do useful tasks. Thanks in advance.

2x3 or 3x3 box with somewhere round 3/16 walls should do.
