Making 4 in 1 Bucket for Skid Steer Loader

[darus627]

So welcome to the next part of building a homemade mini skid steer.
This time we made a multi-purpose bucket that will be very helpful in this construction.

The whole thing weighs about 100 kg. The bucket's pressure is approximately 500 kg.
Hydraulic cylinders have a travel height of 100 mm.
The blades have dimensions of 110mm x 12mm.
The width of the bucket is approximately 100 cm.

I recently looked into building my own mini skid steer and found some interesting skid steer facts that helped me a lot.

For example, the average weight of a skid steer loader is about 7,500 pounds, similar to a flatbed truck. Understanding the difference between operating weight and operating capacity is crucial. The operating weight includes the machine, fuel, operator, and attachments, while the operating capacity is how much the loader arms can lift safely.

When building your bucket, consider the counterweight for balance and stability. I found that using a counterweight helps increase the machine's lifting capacity without tipping.
