Drywall "Helper" Mounts On The Bucket Of Skid Steer Loader TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 23-3-33 Here's a drywall "helper" I made last winter when I was sheet rocking my garage ceiling. It mounts on the bucket of my Mustang skid steer loader and made hanging 4 by 12-ft. panels of sheet rock a lot easier.
It consists of a bracket that attaches to the bucket where the grapple forks normally go. It pins in three places, where the two ears are and where the hydraulic cylinder hooks up. A 1-ft. long pipe extends from the middle of the bracket and is fitted with telescoping arms made from 1 1/2 and 1 1/4-in. sq. tubing. The arms, which swivel on the pipe to position the sheet rock exactly where you want it, telescope from 6 to 8 ft. so the device is suitable for panels up to 12 ft. long. It works on ceilings up to 12 ft. high.
I made the helper out of scrap materials so it cost nothing to build. It definitely made sheet rocking my garage a painless, ache-less project. (Richard Hastings, 41410 101st St., Britton, S. Dak. 57430; ph 605 448-2138)
