Front-End Loader increase fel capcity for light loads

[Mosey]

I seem to remember a few years ago that someone added to the capacity of their fel for light loads by attaching either wood or light metal around it. Does anyone remember this?

It is raining right now, and dark outside, so I can't go out and take pictures to show what I built to go on my FEL. . . . . On a basic wood pallet, I screwed predrilled galvanized angle "thingys" on all for corners of the pallet. I then secured 4" square scrap (about 4' high) galvanized hog paneling on the sides and back. On the front the paneling is only about 2' high.

I don't have leaves to pick up, I use it to haul what I collect from the llama/sheep feeding areas over to one of our two compost piles. When I do need it for smaller stuff, basically llama poop, I put blue plastic drop clothes on the sides

On the back of it I put on two eye bolts. From the eye bolts, I run chain to the "hooks" on my FEL so I can dump the load - works great!

If anyone wants me to put up images, let me know and I will see what I can get between rain squalls.
