Grain buckets

[Case290]

We have got an xform Strimech grain bucket 2.8cub are there any better buckets as this one spills grain.
I see jcb and others do buckets with curved front edges are they better. ?

Always had cherry buckets for years this time I decided to try an xform from cherry’s but I prefer their own bucket

Don't fill it so full then!

Operator error?

We bought a bigger bucket than we needed so we don't have to fill it and dont spill any now. Which telehandler are you running as some makes crowd back more than others so chuck it over the back.

That's what we did. Trying to get the lad not to fill it is a battle though.

Never met an operator yet who didn’t try to
Fill the bucket

Now that is a weapon of a thing. Gimme a Merlo and one of those and I would happily load lorries all day long.

I like how you’ve demoted the old one to a ‘recycling’ bucket!

That’s the dirt bucket, the old grain bucket is a Sanderson about 30 years old and has been a terrific bucket, now on horse muck duties.

If the bucket is big enough the loader won’t lift it if it has too much in it

Xform do a curved sided bucket. Eastern attachments make them both for cherry and JCB.

Ah I see the problem you put the bucket on a green machine

 

[Case290]

Don’t worry got a yellow one as well with exactly the same bucket. it spills it just the same. Lol

What's the model of JCB you have the bucket on ?
Thnks

 

[Case290]

535-95 so not with the z linkage
tip and crowd not enough in my opinion. All over the bucket tho. Bucket was made for that model loader so the angle of the brackets are correct for that machine.
