Been thinking of buying or building an oversized snow/mulch style bucket for my Kioti NX4510. The standard material bucket I have is 72” and about 1/2 cubic yard. I’m thinking an oversized bucket around 1 cubic yard, maybe even a touch more would be pretty handy for firewood, snow, mulch, brush, leaves, and other lighter materials. Anyone have one? The tractor has no issues with full 330 gallon IBC cages of wood or my wooden fork box that is 6’ wide x 30” high x 40” deep.
What is the purpose of that strip under the front edge? On the pic on the right, it is orange color. Something to fail? Maybe if you're digging dirt but if it's lightweight material, might not matter so much. Wondering about your box you made, sounds interesting, post a pic if you have it. That should hold a hefty amount of cubic feet of firewood. Is it secured to the forks?
Most of the large capacity buckets I’ve seen have reversible cutting edges. Keep in mind, a lot of commercial snow guys and mulch guys use these buckets, and they’re constantly digging into piles on blacktop or other hard surfaces. The box I made has fork slots and gets secured to the fork frame with steel chains. I can dump it, and even made a front dump truck style tailgate for it that hinges at the top. It also has tool holders on the sides. Pipes for can’t hooks, and pickeroons. Wood cleats for saws, axes, and log tongs. It holds 1/3rd cord or 43 cubic feet.
