Got some ideas from surfing the net. I have to install a bunch of drain pipe and other uses around the ranch. I don't have a "need" for a full blown backhoe. this should work better than a shovel.... I will remove the front bucket from my front end loader and install this. I have another singel spool valve that will get mounted to operate this,and the grapple for my hay forks.
I had most of the material laying around. I cut out some 1/4 for the bucket with a plasma cutter that I had stockpiled. the bucket measures about 10" wide. I used a 5 gallon bucket for the contour.
Its not done. I still have to make another pivot point for the cylinder to bucket linkage. have to drill some more holes and then fab up a mounting plate my my quick attach front end and the cylinder mount. just been slowly plugging away at it when I have free time.
