I thought it was a roller in the first picture :). Cool, looks like you could haul dirt and back blade with the same setup.

If you haul allot of dirt you will like it. Can you turn it around so you can back into a pile or its just set up for driving forward. It goes good with your Farmnought. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on the next thing you build. :fing32:

I made it for forward driving only.I just tear up the hills with the Gravely with the rotary plow and scoop up the dirt!! I can borrow a loader if needed.Fella down the road has a nice Ingersoll...I fix things for him.Like today...his chainsaw wouldn't run.....HE HAD THE BRAKE ON!!
Lessee....a shop would have charged $56.."We rebuilt the carb and gave it a tune-up."
All in all,I have maybe $4 in the scoop for rod and some scrap I had on hand.

EXCELLENT! Did you roll the back/bottom or cut a tube? I need to build one of them ! :congrats:

I cut up a water tank...not fun but still easier than trying to roll it without equipment..
Plus,that tank was giving me fits.I hated to waste a tank,but I have no use for a tank!!!
Any type of sprayer or such will be plastic and it was only rated for 75 psi,so air was out too.

Bobodu, I have faith that by the time you are done with it it will scoop and trip really neat. Mounted on a Farmnaught it has to be good.

Bob, when I was a kid, dad had one of those but it went on the end of a rope and you pulled it with a tractor (or something - horses?). I got to drive the cut down model A and he did the skip bucketing. What you have is a vast improvement! Nice job.
