I grew up running a Stan-Hoist loader with trip buckets on the '51 M with Char-Lynn PS and M&W live 2-way hyd. Any snow over 2-3 inches I scraped up every bit of snow I could with the 80 inch wide snow bucket and made snow mountains for Me and my St. Bernard to climb. If we got a warm weekend after the ground was froze hard we'd clean up hog & cattle feed lot floors. That '51 M and Stan-Hoist loader is sitting out in my shop, designated #2 snow mover. #1 snow mover is a stage 2 Super H, live 2-way hyd, and a converted FORD loader to mount similar to an IH #2000/#2001 loader. Have an 80 inch wide by 16" high blade on it. Can push up piles ten feet high if I have enough snow. It's faster to clean most snows than the loader on the M. Back 40 years ago loading the old Deere #R spreader with the trip bucket was easy, set the bucket on the side of the spreader, trip the bucket and raise the loader. Loaded some dirt 5-6 years ago in my Pronovost P503 dump cart. 5 heaped loads in a bit over an hour. I didn't want to beat my trailer up, I dropped the tailgate, set a 2 ft long 4x4 on the floor, approached the cart from the rear, set the bucket on the 4x4, tripped the bucket and raised the loader. The cart was only about an inch wider than the bucket. Took a while to get lined up every bucket full. A few partial buckets I could just trip the bucket and let the dirt fall. But a hyd bucket sure would have saved a lot of time and messing around. I drove trucks and equipment two summers for the township road commissioner. Loaded dump trucks, the spreader truck, all with a Case 530 Construction King TLB, shuttle shift and torque converter drive, I could put 20,000# of rock chips in the spreader truck in 6 buckets in around 5 minutes. Hyd bucket of course, but with that BIG crankshaft driven hyd pump it had fast cycle times even at lower rpm.
Yes, there's still a place for trip bucket loaders!
