The bucket is 8 inches wide at the front and rear of the bottom panel which is 24" in depth. The back plate is 1/2" thick and is 8" at the bottom and 12" at top and 18" top to bottom giving it an outward slope. The sides start at 6" and rise to the 18" at back. Material is 1/4 inch plate except for the back which is 1/2 inch.

Now, that is what I call good thinking and good thought out design. The steel thickness, and layout is more than adequate for the intended purpose. Keep up the good work

<font color="blue"> packed dirt into the bucket and I had to hose if out <font color="black">
On a backhoe you can weld a short length of chain to the stick just beyond where the bucket pins on. When the bucket is currled outward the chain tears through the dirt or mud and helps release it from the bucket. Maybe there is a simmilar way you could do this on your design???
