Plastic Mulch Machine CROPS Miscellaneous 27-6-11 "I use my utility tractor for all kinds of work. This add-on platform is an easy way to get it to do a lot more," says Cliff Lawson, an engineer who lives on rural acreage near Ferryville, Wis.
He made a platform that simply slips on over the lip of his loader bucket, more than doubling the carrying capacity. He primarily uses the platform to handle cord wood but says there are lots of jobs where it comes in handy.
It consists of a piece of plywood just a bit narrower than the loader bucket. He cut up steel T-posts to make mounting brackets that slip onto the bucket. Two long posts bolt to the bottom of the board. They extend under the bucket when the platform is in place. Two shorter pieces on top of the board extend 4 to 5 in. into the bucket. The top posts are mounted to the board with spacers so the lip of the bucket can slip under the posts.
