I saw a neat vintage lawn tractor W/Small Front Bucket

[bfisherman11]

I saw what I thought was an old Cub Cadet with a small bucket on the front. Meant to stop and check it out later but it was gone. It was a typical riding mower size and the bucket looked hyd.

I know Kubota makes a bigger BX style but does anyone know if any manufacturers still make these? I have a bigger LS for heavy duty stuff. Something like that would be handy.

Thanks,
Bill

Are you talking about something like the Johnny Bucket?

Not a Johnny Bucket but close. This looked factory. It was a small bucket, maybe 30-36". I wish I had stopped. It was for sale on the side of the road... I probably would have bought it for the odd small job. Being used and older it might have been priced nice, sold fast so that is my guess.

Kwik-Way makes loaders for most garden tractors:

I had one on a craftsman many years ago:
