Giant Bucket Cleans Up Leaves Fast

Giant Bucket Cleans Up Leaves Fast Peter Maitland makes quick work of leaf cleanup with a bucket he built out of an old boat     “It was a 34-ft houseboat built in the 1960’s out of heavy fiberglass so it’s strong ” says Maitland “It works great and it won’t rot ”     He cut the boat in half to make the floor and walls then seamed the pieces together with 1/4-in plate steel and bolted it to a plywood back to fit inside his compact tractor’s bucket Turnbuckles inside and outside support the sides     Once the leaves are gathered in a pile he uses the bucket to scoop them up and dispose of them     “I like doing things easy and simple ” he says “With this I can get about 10 times the load compared to the tractor bucket It works great ”     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Peter Maitland 23 Cedarcrest Ave Salem Mass 01970 ph 978 745-3913; maitlandmountainfarm@gmail com
