Scotty12 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I decided to make a new grain bucket, so I got my bucket from my 3200 and cut a shape out of the side of it. In the second picture this is how I want it to open up on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty12 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I then put two guides on for the side door to slide up and down through to stop it just falling out the side. Thats all the pics i have but i have managed to get it to spin and will post these pics soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 A farm I help out on has a Malliuex one of these on a 3200 so this will be very interesting for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altrac Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I've only ever seen them with an auger?! Interesting all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I thought it was going to have an auger? Scotty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ok numpty question coming, why would you have a auger in a bucket??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Feeding drymix, Sean. Or silage for that matter but mainly drymix/meal. The bucket sits just off centre so that you can drive down a feed passage and auger the feed out into a trough or onto the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty12 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I thought it was going to have an auger? Scotty? Well i thought about having an auger but then i decided i would just make it spin to kind of pour mix etc out of the side in a controlled way.

Deere-est Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've never seen one of these. Does it rotate on the loader carriage then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 it does tris, have seen a bucket like this before, all be it on a jcb 3c on a roadworks site, but never a auger version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 not seen a rotational one before so will be interesting to see . does the end have a slide hatch to be opened / shut off as you want it or does it just stay tipped the opposite end till needed ? since my toe-tip effort i've been thinking about an auger bucket for a while now although , i wanted to have a sectional blade auger to chop fodderbeet or mix a feed potatos-silage mix as it feeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty12 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've never seen one of these. Does it rotate on the loader carriage then? Yes, i have it clipping onto the loader and then it rotates independently! I will try to get some pictures up later today if i can to show it a bit better!!! not seen a rotational one before so will be interesting to see . does the end have a slide hatch to be opened / shut off as you want it or does it just stay tipped the opposite end till needed ? since my toe-tip effort i've been thinking about an auger bucket for a while now although , i wanted to have a sectional blade auger to chop fodderbeet or mix a feed potatos-silage mix as it feeds Yes it will have a slide hatch on one side when i get a small ram to attach to it and then it can be closed and used as normal!

Scotty12 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Right i got some pics of the spinning bit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty12 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 And then some of the side door bit. Hope this helps you guys a bit better now you have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I can see a flaw in this If you're feeding with it, the bucket tips to one side thus the exit end moves back from the trough and tips the feed on the floor Auger buckets remain level to avoid that happening. Sorry to be a pooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 it does tris, have seen a bucket like this before, all be it on a jcb 3c on a roadworks site, but never a auger version Yeah I have on plant gear.

Deere-est Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 ' hope he's gonna chop them spuds,... cattle can choke on whole ones. Arn't you mean't to feed spuds higher up so the cows necks are upwards when they eat? To assist in avoiding choking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intey 434 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yep and hand sliced into home chips! the farm i work at from time to time takes the spuds and puts layers of them in the silage whilst its being put in the pit, when you open the pit in the winter the heat of the silage fermenting actualy cooks the spuds...talk about posh ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
