What did you do to your bucket?
Early FEL training.. Was moving organic matter into the compost pile. Had the edge of the bucket against a small tree, dumpped the bucket and hit the tree.

Like we say in the shop "we learn through suffering and we are learning a lot". A small car jack and some shoring and you can straighten that bend right out in ten minutes
Those buckets on a 1846QT are pretty flimsy to begin with , I bent mine on day 2 of the learning experience
. Like Buck said, a hydraulic jack will put things back to normal. I ended up welding some 3/8 reinforcement plate along the top and back of the bucket, along with some hooks. no problems since.

I wish it was that nice here in Nebraska!! And I love to see some fresh dirt tilled. Honestly the bucket on my Koyker isn't real thick either, maybe more than yours though. Glad you were able to play hookie today!
