So i saw pictures from trents bucket and decided to build one. Is it that big of a deal? Just so everyone knows, it does take a lot of time and patience to make this. Yes, i need front weights on mine, unless its light material, but my 3 point is also not factory so it lifts a lot more.This bucket i made i bet is 50 to 75 pounds heavier than trents. I put condsiderations of snow removal and thats why i made it the size i did.

You did a great job. Its awesome that it lifts lots of weight! How much weight do you think approximately ? Some doubters said half bucket or less which means nothing unless material is specified but to cure their curiosities can ya get it pretty full?

Again. Great job on it!

You still didn't answer the question: How much materiel will the hitch lift? How does the bucket dump when loaded?


Just for the record: I know you contacted Trent and wanted the plans to build the R Bucket. It's not that you built one, it's that you wanted the builder to tell you how to do it. Then, you show it off on the same site. It's one thing to build something someone else has... it's another to expect the builder to give up his info without any compensation. He (Trent) builds them and sells them. You could have at least offered to pay for the plans. It's not like he patented it or anything... so other than just principle, there nothing to it. It's kind of like when Sam designed the rear braces and people wanted to have a set, but not pay for them. People were always wanting the dem's for them, or trying to make their own, and he kind of got upset about it a few times on here. It's understandable. I'd be upset if it was my design too.

Not sure on weight, sorry i dont have a scale on my bucket or tractor.I know that with 150# up front it will lift the front end off the ground. Fyi jon, yes i did contact him, but never did i ask trent for his plans, i asked for some dimensions and material thicknesses, and thats why i wanted to talk to him in person to be more specific( why you know i contacted him im not sure). Maybe trent took it the wrong way. Sorry for that trent!! I made my own rear axle braces for the rear end too, so im sorry for that sam.

Swacor, Maybe the easiest way to solve this is just load it up and take a picture. Sucks that some things need to be verified like that here but it would be the path of least resistance I think. Besides, I want to see that thing in action!

Jus want to know which one I have built is 40 to 50 lbs lighter, also which one I have built that isn't adequate for moving snow.

Coop, I too am interested in a video. Nothing wrong with verification. The only time someone should be but hurt about verifying anything is if they cant...

Video would be cool.. I would just like to see it working just to see it. And if it does what he says more power to him!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
