WOW 1,000.00 for a bucket ROFL
I'm really thinking about making one now. From watching video's on youtube, I couldn't lay my eyes on how they are making it dump?
But still right now is hate to buy anything much less Steel !

Really? The price jumped that high? It was $299 at Home Depot in November 2019 the last I looked. WOW, it's $890 now. Crap.

If you don't weld, then this type of bucket bolted together would work with angle steel to brace the seams everywhere.

My neighbor was given some small CAT-0 attachments for his Ford 1500 SCUT. In the bunch was a home-made 55-gallon metal drum with mounting flanges. It was used to scrap the soil to pick up dirt and rocks. It resembled the image below. Howbeit a bit more crude. I just wonder if a 55-gallon metal barrel c

I just wonder if a 55-gallon metal barrel cut like a Pacman shape could be used as a 'general' use bucket. The cutting lip would have to have a reinforcement plate. Wow, i'm not the only one who thought of this, people have already made them.

I can get used metal 55-gallon drums for free all around here. Nobody wants them. Yet, the blue plastic type sell up to $20 each.

Yes I've seen those.
At the least they wouldn't last 1hour.
Here in south carolina metal drums are running 35 and up, to burn in.
The plastic ones 25 and up
I just saw a guy make a rear loader/no hydro on YT, looked like a lot of steel lol he did a good job, had a nice shop.
Not as big as mine cuz mine is the hole out side ROFL
