Detachable Tines Fitted To Tractor Bucket

Detachable Tines Fitted To Tractor Bucket MANURE HANDLING Equipment Cleaning out packed manure is much easier for Duane Miller since he built a set of detachable tines for his tractor’s loader bucket He started with heavy angle iron with one side slipped over the bucket’s edge On the side that hangs down he cut out seven notches to slip in 1-in solid square steel about 20 in long About a foot of it’s under the bucket and the rest is out front cut on a taper “To support it I added two steel tabs on the sides to match the bucket holes and put a bolt on both ends ” Miller says He also welded a 3/4-in solid round piece of steel to the tines under the bucket “It works very well to get a bite with the bucket into manure that’s packed with straw ” he says He also uses it to clean plant debris in the garden and for lifting pipes and 2 by 4s The tine unit goes on and off easily with two bolts when he needs to use his 770 John Deere for something else Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Duane Miller 252 Titer Dr Dover Del 19904 ph 302-734-1394; duanemiller@norcell us
