I think in this case looks are deceiving some that are viewing your photo. If the open side of the bucket is facing the cross piece of the loader frame then what they are saying about the bucket being mounted backwards is correct. However. how I am seeing it and I perceive to be correct is that the opening of the bucket that material loads into is facing the ground and the flat bottom and cutting edge are turned back and hitting the cross piece of the loader arms. I could see how it could be confused. I have no idea of the balance of that bucket. I would have to look at it in person to make a recommendation. My initial thinking is that it needs stops put on it. I would make them pretty substantial so you could trip the bucket and push on material to spread it. I would say that the stops should be placed so that when tripped and the cutting edge is on grade the stops only allow the bucket bottom and cutting edge to roll back past perpendicular 15 degrees. If the balance of the bucket is anything like the one on my Horndraulic trip loader on my M Farmall if you would raise it up with it tripped you could take your foot and give it a good kick towards the stops. Then when it bounces off the stops it is balanced well enough that it would rebound and re-latch. They do not call them the Cadillac of trip loaders for nothing. I will say this, the bucket on my loader would hold maybe two thirds what yours would appear to hold.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
