Anyone ever try building what I would call a "wood chute bucket" for their fel?
Something that allows you to pitch (not stack) in your splits into this "bucket" and then simply walk the tractor over to your dump site and unload the wood with a touch of the joystick, into narrow confines with your "chute".

I've used the bucket to transport split firewood. I stacked it in the bucket. Otherwise - pitching it in the bucket equals too small a load. You may be looking for a type of "super large bucket" made of angle iron and expanded metal. OR angle iron and heavy duty chicken wire.

a rock bucket will scoop wood off the ground
rock buckets - Bing

looked at some chute buckets, loose material (gravel, sand, grain) should work, can't imagine firewood would ever work

No. I need something "narrow". The bucket is too wide for the opening of 42" I have to dump the wood in (bulkhead).

Not looking to scoop wood but thank you for the link.
Looking to dump wood into a narrow opening.
Gonna have to invent something it looks like.

Ratchet strap milk crates or some other spacers to your bucket for testing purposes before investing to many $$$ on project

Just get a section of roller conveyor put some short sides 2 inches high on it and a taller 3 foot side to dump against..

It doesn't hold much, but I've used my stump bucket to 'pour' (rocks) into a small opening.

The local sawmill has a narrow and deep bucket on a decent size loader for loading pickup trucks with mulch. It’s a 3.5 yard bucket that’s only like 5’ wide. I’d say you’d have better luck with something that that vs trying to dump wood through a funnel.
