New-Style Bucket For Compact Utility Tractors
Jery Dunn liked his 4-WD utility tractor but was unhappy with the factory bucket. So he designed and built a new style bucket that he says enhances loader use and efficiency.
  “It handles a wider variety of materials and is more versatile than any other bucket on the market,” says Dunn. He started working on what he calls “Loader Buddy” 10 years ago.
  Finding he never wanted to take it off his tractor he started marketing the bucket after pursuing patent protection. “I wanted pure simplicity, which is why Loader Buddy has no moving parts. This design allows the accomplishment of many different jobs without the need to change attachments, which saves time and ultimately money.”
Just some of the unique features include:
•  Solid square wear resistant tines 6 to 7 in. apart, protruding 5 in. from the bucket lip.
•  Extended bucket lip for greater volume.
•  A slightly decreased roll back angle which enhances functionality in reverse.
•  Angle iron heel for smooth back dragging.
•  Cut out end plates for handling longer material, and are thicker for added strength.
•  Strong unitized construction.
•  Laser cut parts with a powder coat finish.
• Optional factory hook.
  Loader Buddy is available in 44, 48, 52, 54, and 60-in. widths, with pin-on John Deere Q/A and SS Q/A mounts.
  Call or email for new models and other upcoming products. Also look for the company’s new website www.loaderbuddy.com featuring photos and videos of Luddy Buddy in action.
