Green Bucket Anxiety...

[keeney]

It would be easier to just buy an extra bucket and never use it. When done using the tractor, put on the shiny new "show" bucket.

Same thing as my pickup truck. As soon as I am done building the house and yard, I plan to get a new truck and then never use it to haul anything ever again.

Actually, the reason I would like a liner for my bucket is because most of the soil on my property is pure CLAY and after I scoop it up it sticks like glue and is difficult to dump.

Me paint a shovel, nope, the shovel is what I use to get the stuff out of the bucket !!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

The last time I dealt with clay with my backhoe I sprayed
something I've sprayed on the underside of my mower, I don't
don't remember the brand name but I think it was some kind
of cooking oil.

I have some spots with clay that you dig in once, then either
go rinse the bucket out or chip it out later. Hardly is workable
as after dumping the junk keeps building up in the bucket. The
spray seemed to help, but I don't know if it would last for
multiple days.

Yeah, I could get another bucket, just like the metal garbage
cans we had for "inspection" in bootcamp!

Actually a "nice" looking bucket is one that completely shiny
inside with NO paint. Once ALL the paint is off the inside
it just reminds me of all the work I've done with the tractor.

You get a little surface rust if parked inside but no buildup
like if it was left outside for weeks in the rain.

I hope I made it clear starting this post I WAS JOKING...

I've just never seen a bucket painted with a finish that is
as shiny as fenders on new trucks.

You can certainly beat up a bucket but rust damage? You'll
probably lose about 1 millionth of a percent of weight each
month.

dig on...

How would you keep your liner in the bucket ?? If it was a spray on coating I would think the clay would stick just as bad if not more.I guess I never worried about if my bucket had paint in it or a little clay sticking on it. Then again my tractor is pretty muddy for the most part.Heck my shoes are muddy,I live in the mud.

Heck; lets go for the ultimate. Two sets of equipment. One for polishing and show and one for working. That way there's no time lost changing the bucket.

Then what would you do with the truck?

 

[JDgreen227]

IMO, the ultimate would be THREE sets of equipment, one brand new and shiny for show, one used and dirty for work, and the last one beaters, worn, rusted, filthy, needing lots of repairs, to lend to those people who want to borrow your stuff.

 

[JDgreen227]

If I had a poly liner, I am sure a thin layer of clay inside the bucket would attach the liner just fine. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Never thought of the borrower beater.
