ATV Loader Bucket Finished 7 

Thanks Bill. Atb Dave

Cheers bro, glad you enjoyed it. Aye Dad is very happy with it. :) It will save a good amount of time bringing manure up for the garden especially once I've got that heap consolidated and covered to stop weeds growing in it.

Thanks Gillian, hopefully will see plenty of use and really help in the garden and moving all kinds of stuff around. Atb Dave

Thanks, yes even I was unsure how it would work out. Cheers for joining me on the build. Atb Dave

Thank you. It has been the most used piece of kit I have ever made. I ended up buying a second snow plow so I didn't need to take it apart during the winter as it is super useful all year round. All the best with your build. Good idea with the linear actuator too. Thanks for commenting. Atb Dave

Cheers Dave, It did turn out quite professional looking dunno how the feck that happened. haha Cheers for the suggestion. I have been looking at spring assisters but the springs on the bike have a really small diameter and having dealt with fitting them on a previous show car I had I'm not sure if they would fit. I have a pair sitting in the barn somewhere so I may try them at some point. Atb Dave

Cheers, I'm sad now its covered in poop though haha Thanks for joining me on the build, your comments really help me a lot, both with ideas for the build and motivation to record and share what I do. Glad you enjoyed seeing the finished article. Atb Dave

aww...it was all you dude!!...but it was nice to chat with you along the way....i'm looking forward to some cool future projects/videos from you..you've set a precedent and now you have to do great stuff all the time!! :D

haha I know, it's gonna be hard to follow this. Got a few small builds I've been thinking about doing for a while but nothing as large as this. Atb Dave

OMG i just realised....you can use the ATV/digger hybrid to create berms for when the Raleigh Burners are back in service!!..Andy Ruffell would be proud!! :D

Now there's an idea. :D

Thanks jongmans38, glad it won you over. Can't say I was 100% confident it was all going to work out but I happy it did. Cheers for watching. Atb Dave

Thanks, its been such a handy piece of equipment.

Cheers, it has been an amazing bike. Atb Dave

That's great to hear Dan, thanks for the nice comment. Glad to have provided a bit of inspiration, it's a pity RU-vid doesn't allow picture comments as that would be good to see.Atb Dave

Yep stolen haha It does work great, I was surprised just how much stuff it would lift as some of the stuff with grass and roots in was a heck of a weight and it didn't really struggle at all. Think I might need new tyres on the quad for better grip in the slippy stuff that or possibly snow chains might work. Cheers for watching. ATb Dave

Take some air out the tyres bro.

Aye bro I thought about doing that but I think if I take any more air out I risk breaking the bead on the tyres when turning as they already get pretty flat when the bucket is full.

Cheers. From memory the plate was 5mm and the depth of the bucket is 50cm. The bucket has ended up being so useful I ended up buying another snow plow so I can keep it as a bucket all year round. I tend to keep it attached to the quad full time too. Not had any problems with it at all. Atb Dave

@@playing_in_trafic Thank you

yes

Nice one, looks great and should be able to shift some dirt. I love to see other folks builds especially as designs vary from person to person to suit their specific machines or needs. Thanks for coming back and sharing these pics with me. Atb Dave
