My stock mini skid steer bucket was way too small, barely the capacity of a single wheelbarrow load. I got so frustrated moving mulch, firewood, or stump grindings with my mini skid: "IT'S JUST AS F(*%ING SLOW AS A WHEEL BARROW"
Solution: I built a giant bucket for my Thomas 25g called the "Tompensator."
We unloaded a pickup truck full of chips in the front drive of my house this morning and Dan moved it to the backyard landscaping with the Tompensator in 3 trips. I sell 20 cords or so of firewood a year and use the Tompensator to move and load it.
The Tompensator is 3'x3'x40" which is 15 cubic feet or more than 1/2 cubic yard. I made it out of scrap 1/8 inch sheet and custom fabricated the mount.
