We are stacking up dry splits near the house for this winter. At least 5 cord so far, and more to stack. The way the critters are behaving tells me it will most likely be a harder winter. I put the big bucket on my bobcat (610) and it holds a whole face cord of wood! That’s a max comfortable load with that big heavy bucket, but it sure makes moving wood fast. The smaller bucket is more agile, but it doesn’t hold nearly as much wood. I’ll probably use it for snow too, if it’s lighter stuff. I found the bucket for $20! I had to modify the mount a little, but it works.
Heck I paid 200 bucks for a roached-out antique Ford tractor bucket that I had to totally modify to fit my mini skid for moving dirt, stone, boulders and wood......you win the "you suck" award for the week! I don't know how I lived without that bucket though, it's a back and time saver!! I'm constantly using it.
