Reversed bucket

[J_J]

Is this bucket a special use bucket, or can any bucket be used like this. Looks like it would be useful for ditch clean out.

Can't be sure from the pic but it just looks to be curled all the way down to me.

I think the bucket is casting a shadow, and giving it a long tapered look. It's just rolled completely forward.

that bucket is hidding from doing any work. It feels it allready dug enough and is on strike.

My bucket will only rotate from level, to about 30 degrees up, and to 45 degrees down. Otherwise 75 degree range.

I also think most of what you see is shadow, and is just fully dumped.

Couple of observations though, I don't think mine dumps that far either.
Also those do look like extra long curl cylinders.
And by the look of the bucket pin configuration, it almost does look like you could swap it around.

I really can't think of any good application for a bucket like that myself.

I tried to adjust the pic but it didn't help much, you have to kinda imagine where the bucket outline would be.

What can you tell us about your pic? Something you took a picture of? Your bucket? Not your pic?

Seems there is a story behind this, and maybe you know what it is.

I think most of it the shadow of the bucket on the ground but I did not think you can curl the bucket almost 270 degrees, is the bucket multi-jointed?

As far as cleaning up ditches the pic below shows a better method perhaps. It was posted by one of the members (Jinman may be ??)some time in the back. I suppose you can get the tractor 90 degrees to a ditch send the box blade in, angle how you need, dig, and pull the dirt right up to the edge or beyond.

JC,

Hows this? Looks a little more normal.

No, I don't know anything about it, just saw it on the web, and was curious about the ability to fold the bucket back under, or whether the bucket could be reversed.

I was thinking, that on my bucket, I could just weld some more tabs to the bottom back, turn it around and be able to clean out ditches, etc. I have seen a BH with a two way bucket, which would give the ability to dig , coming and going.

Those rotating BH buckets are the cats meow, sure would be nice to have one

looks like a pin on bucket put on backward in order to clean out stalls and stuff from the front without having to drive into it.

Must be good piston for such stress..not sure I like the idea.

Like Thomas mentions, cylinders at their extended length and under compression can be turned into a pretzel. They don't have much column strength and can bend when extended.

Seems the bucket tipped straight down will provide an edge that can be a scraper for back-dragging to clean out stalls. Or am I missing something here?
