Tine Bucket....

[JimMorrissey]

This unit looks pretty useful for brush, smaller logs and general debris. Price seems good too.

Price isn't that great - unless you are selling. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

However, what use is a bucket where the teeth aren't flush with the bottom edge? Those teeth are up a few inches high. Would seem useless to me in that configuration... You can never scrape along the ground with it.

It looks far from "useless" to me. I believe the idea is that the attachment it tipped forward so the tines cut throught the ground and pick up smaller brush and construction waste that might fall through a set of pallet forks (they're 32" long). The front of the tines are cut on an angle so debris can slide up on. The steel under the tines looks necessary for strength. I don't believe it's meant to be some type of leveling/scraping tool. It doesn't look like it was designed for a homeowner, but more of a construction clean-up kind of implement. It more like a fork that you use on an angle then twist and lift up. I just thought it looked useful in certain situations.....especially around my place where they used the farm as their private dump.

Its a manure bucket common in farming.

Manure bucket? It's not a bucket....it's got long tines spaced about 3" apart (skid steer quick-attach). Maybe they use these for large piles of manure in Canada. Looks like a good trash tool to me.

Manure Bucket.........sure would work fine for that. Got a similar one on my Dearborn 19-22 loader that's on my NAA.

I didn't invent the name, I think its only called a bucket cause that is what used to always be attached to front loaders.

Instructions from the Dearborn people (thanks Slydog) indicate the "bucket" is referred to as a "Manure Fork". I have used the old Fork for that purpose and it works well. The new one will too. Feed lots and large cattle operations do use skid steers. I'm sure there are other uses as well.

There's a thread somewhere on TBN by a guy who attached a bunch of tines from a wrecked box scraper to his bucket to do the same job. It turned out pretty nice, although the tines are curved and point upward.

I'd like to see those tines flush with the bottom edge of the bucket, as someone else suggested. That would make the bucket a bit more friendly in float, while skimming crap. I don't think it would be all that hard to fabricate.

A "Manure Fork" it is! I had better tell the fabricator what he's making and to advertise it as such. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My appologies - I come from such a farm background, I assume _everyone_ would know it is a manure fork or manure bucket! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Been using one for decades - for manure.

They are better when they are nearly flush with the bottom. This type work ok for manure pack, and for some of the stuff you mentioned. But, if it is flush with the bottom, then it can be used for all your plans, plus more. Flush is better, and they can be made that way. I have about 3 on the place.....
