Another skid steer bucket

admin

We obviously have guys that don't know when to stop using a bucket so it can get repaired. This one, like the others, should have been done long ago. I did this same repair to another, and it held up great. The next one I'm starting tomorrow is worse than this. Again, 1/4" material, 1/8" Excalibur 7018 @ 120A DC. I welded it the best I could, but some areas were just too thin and kept on blowing through. Oh well, this was more than the boss wanted me to do, but in the end he was happy I did it. I don't think the guys are as hard on these buckets as say concrete or demolition guys. But they do not REALLY know how to run a skid steer. But, neither does the boss, he will do stupid crap too."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!" - duaneb55"I have bought a few of Tbone's things unlike Stick-Man who helps himself" - TozziWelding"Stick-man"

Reply:All our tires are foam filled, no boom to happen. A hard tire is a solid tire if Im thinking right, you can literally run them down to the steel.
