If I can find a rusted out no good bucket that will fit my loader, I am thinking it should be possible to convert what is left of the bucket into a frame for a set of forks.
There are forks that can be to attached to a bucket, but I just dont like them. I they project too far out in front of the tractor, and despite have rear wheels full of weights, a full bucket already can bring the back end up enough to not make good ground contact. Extending something another three feet in front of the bucket just has no appeal.
I dont have a rusted-out bucket yet, I am still looking for that, but in the meantime, have any of you done this or something like this before?
This project will require me to do some out-sourcing; I have no welding equipment (or experience) and am certain even Duct Tape would be outmatched with this job.
Despite my current obstacles (no bucket, no experience, no clue) this still seems like a project worth pursuing as forks would be really helpful for me.
If you have insight into a project like this, please tell of your experiences. I am not above learning from anyone else.
