"Dump Bucket" Keeps His Tractors Busy

Dump Bucket Keeps His Tractors Busy TRACTORS Accessories I welded 3-pt mounting brackets on back of a big loader bucket Works great with my Ford tractors says Willie Thompson Louisa Ky The bucket measures 7 1/2 ft wide and 2 ft deep He used 3/8-in angle iron to make the 3-pt mounting brackets and then added a hydraulic cylinder for the top link The cylinder is used to tilt the bucket up or down while the tractor s 3-pt hitch is used to raise or lower it Bucket height can be adjusted more by changing the position of two pins one on each side of the bucket It really comes in handy and works great for moving gravel and dirt anywhere on my farm says Thompson I use it with my Ford 4610 56 hp tractor and also with my Ford 4630 60 hp 4-WD tractor The advantage is that the tractors can support much more weight on back than on front I bought the bucket new at an auction for $275 I already had the cylinder and the material that I used to make the mounting brackets Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Willie C Thompson 10968 Hwy 32 Louisa Ky 41230 ph 606 652-4354 or 606 624-5736
