    Just landed a dozen of these to put into play with my new Kioti CK3510 .... has anyone cut 1 side out of these to make it easier to stack in? Do they stay "sturdy"? 20210913_173655.jpg 20210913_173717.jpg

    They do alright if you don't cut the whole side out...really no need for that anyways.

    We've gotten about a half a dozen this year and they're really handy. I mostly use them for odd ball splits and chunks. I don't cut as big of a hole in the side as most people do. Make sure to file the edges you cut because they can be sharp!

    I've got totes around here that I've used for years with one side cut out & no issues. I don't treat them real carefully either. I do like that tractor too. Good deal on the financing for sure!

    Yes, I've cut the sides but not the entire side, just enough to get to the bottom of the tote easily.

    Something I've always thought about, right there! A mans arms are only so long, no?

    I use lots of totes. They're perfect since I have a skid steer with pallet forks. Wood gets plenty of air and sunlight. As other have said, you don't need to cut out the entire side. If you want to stack neatly you can step in and out easily enough. Enjoy!

    Should work fine. We have a couple I haven't fixed yet. I like the collapsible metal baskets even better. Have 2 if those, wish I could find more. They have a door built in...
