one cubic yard loader bucket

Very nice - a great idea! Love the forks too!

These forks have worked great for me. Light in weight, but
very strong and versatile. Thx

I just had this one delivered last week. It’s like having a dumpster in front of the tractor - and I got the small one, 66”.

I only use it for moving loads of trees, or large brush/trsh/tumble weed, any thing light.

I don’t have the lift capacity to put a load of dirt on it, but for what it id it’s great when you need that extra room.

Wow, those look big and HEAVY. Was yours made with the right
pin-on bracket for your loader?

I wonder what "Turkey Litter" is.....

It's like chicken litter...but larger.

Bucket in action:
Loaded up with several hundred lbs of split maple, oak, and laurel.
Works great. Oh yeah, painted with 75 Datsun maroon.

DFKrug -

I checked out your home made loader bucket. You did a very fine job on it's construction using strong, yet light weight building materials and techniques. I really like the way you've got all that nice split wood stacked in there. It sure comes in handy to be able to move large bulky loads around like that.

I am willing to bet that you are you pleased with it's performance.

Great Job,

Larry

You still want to be able to easily dump your load using your bkt curl
function.

Seems like all that is needed for this is add a chain or pin which locks it to the forks. You can hold a good amount or brush/leaves in there.

Since you mention it, Mike......

This photo shows my securing chain, which slips into my chain lift
hook (slot).

I weighed my bkt with a hydraulic scale I recently made and it measures
205 lb, which puts it at about 25 lb more than the stock bkt. That plus
the fork frame put the total around 400-450 lb.

Thanks for the kudos, guys.
