     When I came home for lunch yesterday there was a load of tar planings tipped in my yard. I had the power link-box on the tractor so I took a few minutes and spread them. and got thinking ....I have never in all my travels in 35 states noticed one of these implements. Yet is is so simple and it is the most used piece of equipment I own. You guys will have a different name for it when you do build one!!!(carry-all-tipper???) There are several manufacturers of these in Northern Ireland and every farm has one. When we do drainage shores we can tip the stones in the track, lift cow poo, carry hay bales etc, etc.
Now someone will post a pic of theirs and tell me I havn't been looking in the right place!
LOL

| Hi Sam
One of my customers here in Manitoba Canada has one of those rear buckets he"s an Irish guy. Not sure on the make but bet it came from Ireland with him lol.
I have seen it up close. his has a lot of breaks/ repairs in the hitch mounting. I guess he"s over done it at some point. and the leverage is all wrong on the ram to the bucket from what I can see of it, if a heavy load is put in the bucket.
I have those Klieber tyres on my pulling tractor. They where road and field worn even to about 3/8 lug. pulled real good but as with all of this brand the bead seperated from the wall and one burst. Of course I cant find any here in Canada so looks like goodyear or firestones for a replacement if I can find them cheap on a farm somewhere.
Regards Robert

| That's what I have in my driveway too. Here we call it roto-mill or crushed asphalt.
Heavy as all dickens. I had my guy bring his dozer and spread out 40 yards of it.
I didn't think my little Ford 2N with a front blade would cut it!
Makes a nice drive except for what you push out into the grass while plowing snow.

| Now that I've seen this, I might take the bucket from the busted-up loader from my 300U and make one. Loader frame is all stove up, but the bucket, which is way too big for it, is in excellent condition and taking up space.

| the stuff works pretty good too, we did our pit roads by taking some of this, and running it thru the rock crusher, what we got was fine ground road chip material, it was spread on the plant roads and run in by large mining machinery traveling on the roads, even today 5 years later its still working pretty good, and easily repaired if needed, the hot weather in summer heated the remaining oils in it just enough to make it bind together

| Here in the central US Gnuse makes one that's real popular in these parts. They're mostly used for moving snow but they will haul dirt too. I think 12' wide is the biggest standard size though I've seen 16 foot wide special made buckets. Farmers put one behind their big front assist or even four wheel drive tractor for moving snow away from hog confinement sites. I have an older 7 foot Gnuse that's seemingly indestructible. The dump mechanism is completely different from yours. Jim

| Tar planings?? Where do you get those? Has that been ground off an asphalt highway before refinishing? I think here they remix this back in with the new or put in under the new road.

| Yes ripped off the highway before resurfacing...they are hard to get for the very reasons you mention, but I cut hedges around the local quarry owners farms and he sent me them as a favour! Once the sun hits it it will be as good as if it was a highway. If we get any sun this year?

| The tyre is a kleber radial made in France and a very good gripping tyre, long lasting too. My yard is a mess at the minute as I lost all my storage sheds due to the owner dying and his estate being sold. These tyres are now in the workshop. Although they are cast-offs I still get some farmers wanting to buy them as tyres are so expensive.

| Appears to be the same thing as a bucket on a front end loader.

| | Retired Farmer: I Agree! It's just a loader bucket for the back-end instead of the front-end, only problem is you can't raise it high enough to load a truck with it, like you can with a front loader.

| Dad has a similar one, I don't know the brand since it hasn't had any paint for 37 years that I can remember. They are handy. Dad usually keeps his on his 6000 commander.
