Neat! How many cubic feet do you estimate it to be?

Thank you all so much. I kept you guys in mind the whole time I was building it. I believe that it is a good 35 cu ft most likely more. It is 5 ft. wide and well you can tell by that about how deep it is. I have one more small thing to do to it and then when I paint it I will post some more pics. Thanks again guys. And O yes no burning and pig rosting in this bucket LOL. Good one Schultz.

When you're done with that project, can you post some information on your seat? It looks to be a suspension seat. Is it?

That seat was 89 dollars at the TSC store. It has very good suspension but you sacrifice room. If you have a good back and a smooth yard you might want to stay with OEM.

Your welcome moss and powertrom thank you too. I don’t know what I would do with my PT in the winter time if I couldn’t build something for it. It hardly ever snows enough to matter around here. I did however fill that bucket up with wood and hauled it. Plenty of puckering though. Here is a picture of it holding the large and small OEM buckets.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I built one out of 1/2" plywood (box with open top and front) that I use to carry bales of hay with the forks. It is 4' x4' x 5'6"high . Holds 8 bales (400#) no PT pucker. )</font>
Didn't you post a pic of it awhile back. I remember seeing it and thinking that would be a simple way of doing what i went to so much trouble to do. Where is that pic anyway?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Did you save the other side of the tank so you can hinge them together again? That way it can double as a portable PT pig roster when you need it. All you need is a low speed hydraulic motor for the rotisserie and you'll have an all-new PT powered attachment.
