Wood Bucket Made From Fuel Tank

Wood Bucket Made From Fuel Tank TRACTORS Loaders 28-4-16 An old 275-gal. fuel oil tank works great as a wood-hauling bucket for Frank Fowler, Jr., Benson, Vt. "I use it to haul chunks of wood over to my wood splitter," says Fowler. "I can dump the wood either onto a pile or into my truck." He cut a large hole into one side of the tank, leaving a lip at the bottom. The tank rests on a pair of steel forks. The brackets that originally connected to the legs are used to secure the tank to the loader. "The lip on front holds chunks of wood in. It's not strong enough to do any digging," says Fowler, who notes that he thoroughly rinsed the tank with water before he started cutting into the tank.
