HOMEMADE BUCKET GRAPPLE

[Gale Hawkins]

Thanks
Yes I made the bucket edge.
It is for snowplowing. 2 layers of 3/8" steel stich welded together.
I will remove the bottom one when it is heavily worn and add a new strip.
I will most likely make a tooth bar later but will try and find high carbon steel for that and the cutting teeth.

That is smart. I wondered why you would duplicate the cutting edge but having a soft one to wear during snow removal is a great plan. After snapping ours last spring I found ($$$) a 3/4" x 8" cutter bar that would reach edge to edge and had my shop cut out the old on an put on the new one. Now I have to be careful or I will gap the ground because the new one digs so well.
