    I used the neighbor’s rock bucket to move some splits today. It was great for leaving the dirt, rocks, and bark behind. It didn’t hold much wood though, maybe 1-2 wheelbarrow loads. It’s 7 ft wide, 1.5 ft tall, and maybe 2.5 ft deep. A heavy bugger at 800 lbs, but it did the job today….it just took a while.

    I want to build one and would like to know what people here prefer for tine spacing. I was thinking 2.5”, because I had a few pieces of firewood fall through today at 3” spacing.

    I am shooting for 2’ tall, 6ft wide, and at least 3ft deep. Probably use 1/4”x 2 for the tines to save some weight.
