DIY Tractor Rear End Loader - Forme Industrious
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My wife and I recently bought some raw acreage in the bush and it needs a heap of work. We will be bringing in gravel, sand and moving dirt for gardens etc. Knowing this we have been on the look out for a cheap tractor. I found a 1978 Yanmar YM1700 with slasher, lifting jib and Grader attachments. We bought it for a good price but the tractor still needed a heap of work. We considered making a Front End Loader. These would be perfect, however for a small tractor like ours, having all that weight over the front axle puts too much stress on the machine. There is high chance of wear and breakage in the front axles and stearing box. It made more sense to make a Rear End Loader. All the weight is over the strongest part of the tractor and it uses the existing hydraulics and 3 point linkage. So here I make the loader. Some call them a carry all. I've only tested it in our suburban yard, digging up the grass etc ;) Well, it seems to work great, and if not it will be a good place for the dog to ride on.
The bucket I made from 3mm Mild steel plate, The Linkage attachment is 10mm x 75mm Flat Bar and 75 x 75 x 3 Box. I made all the attaching pins also. Good machining practice.
Enjoy.
Regards
Scott

I know, steel, wood, fuel, all gone nuts. Steel has doubled in about 12 months or less. Good to hear from you!
Sometimes it's fun to visualize it right from the mind into reality. Keeps us sharp. Very practical solution. The Yanmar is coming along nicely. It looks like it is built like a small tank too.

Thanks Joseph! The little Yanmar is a Beauty. Tough little tractor.
I've seen the videos of the property y'all bought and I think you got the scale of the tractor and bucket just right for your needs. You'll wish it was bigger for some jobs and love the small size for others. Excellent fabrication. Now the very best part of this video was when you were carrying the bracket to fit onto the tractor and you remarked "good thing I'm huge". I just about spit my coffee all over my keyboard! Again, thanks so much for the content.

Oh I love Atherton! How fortunate are you and your wife cause that’s one of the most beautiful places. I always wanted to retire there because I spent a bit of time in Atherton when I was at Lavarack Bks but then, y’know, life happened. A friend of mine from the Army days had a nice house just out of Atherton that we stayed at for a few days and when she sold it, she offered it to us but back then we had to work where our lives were and the boys were very young. Envy you mightily!

Scott - Congratulations on your new property and the Yanmar. You are going to thrive in the new environment. Having the bucket on the rear of your tractor creates the need for highest driving force opposite the direction the tire lugs were designed. This will introduce slip (seen in video). This will accelerate wear and tearing in the rear tires depending on soil conditions and amount of bucket use..Swapping rear wheels side to side will reverse the tire drive lug direction. This will increase drive traction in reverse for times when your bucket usage is high. Swap back the rest of the time.

Nice job. I had one of those on an old Ferguson TE20. It shifted literally tons of gravel, fill and mulch. Unfortunately, for those of us with dodgy necks, it's hard to twist around to see well enough to line up with the load. Your latch system works way better than the as bought system that I had.

Hey Mark! I love the old TEA20 MF and came close to getting one before my Yanmar came up. I figured any old tractor will need quite a bit of work and some parts may be hard to get. This bucket is much larger than my shovel I figure so I'm banking on it saving my back. The latch is easy enough to reach and it's simple so I'm happy. Thanks and all the best!

May I offer a suggestion? Find a scrap of material that fits in a tool holder and mount an old bearing to either end. When you need to square up stock in the lathe, tighten the chuck rather loosely and bump the circumference with your bearing tool. This will get it perfectly concentric so you can tighten the chuck. The other side will do the same but for facing operations. Five bucks worth of parts, you will likely use it every time you use the lathe. Super handy tool
Very good job
Very clever Scott, nice job!! If you remember next time you head up could you do a bit of filming along the way? Not just for overseas viewers, but most Aussies won't believe how much the farmland up there is like the Southern parts of the country. Stay safe and well :)

Amazing. Really slick build and I look forward to seeing it get some use. I see you forgot about your forge, though. You could easily have heated up that bar and driven a drift through to make the hole larger. Blacksmiths have been doing that for a thousand years. Now, you need to turn a nice knob for that latch handle. Can't be leaving the end just some plain ol' square bar like that.

I always try and leave some controversy, Blacksmith Bait ;) Actually I'm too much of a sook to fire up the forge in this summer heat. Yes indeed a nice handle knob thing is planned too. Thanks Vaughn!!
Looks good! Couple observations. As blondihacks once said, and I struggle with this when I make stuff: “Precision costs time. “. Just because you have a machine that can cut to the half-thousandth doesn’t mean everything needs to be that precise. Especially for farm equipment, sometimes close enough is close enough. Also I don’t know if it’s available in your area, but Amazon sells some pretty inexpensive wear bars for buckets. I bought one to weld onto my bucket and another to make a bolt-on tooth bar. Oh also if you put the top link at the lowest position on the tractor it’ll lift the tip of the bucket higher when you raise the three point. This will help keep stuff from falling out.

Verry good Friends
Really nicely made 👌 i just have one thing i would have done differently. I would have made the pivot points just to the rear of the tipping point, so the bucket would return itself when it has dumped out the contents. A lot of the commercial ones here in Denmark 🇩🇰 are made like that, and if you use it a lot it's a time saver 👍 i have one for my Ferguson TED-20 that pivots in the holes in the liftarms, an so does not self-return... It's a pain in the butt to lift the bucket all the way up do dump, and all the way down to reset, and all the way up again to drive off again...

Sorry mate had some friends down from Taipei who I havent seen in a couple of years thanks to Covid. Just a question about the cutting edge, would you consider adding a hardened steel bolt on cutting edge, I feel that over time your present one will cut out pretty quick when you hit some subsurface rock etc?
That tractor looks pretty sharp with new tires and fresh paint.

I own this same tractor or at least the US version of it. I'm sure you have already discovered this, but I recommend you put as many weights as you can find on the front bumper. They are absolute power houses but they don't have the weight to apply that power. If you use them to drag weight, you often lose the ability to steer, weights will help with that

Very nice build, Scott. I came across some steel pins at the scrap yard, but they're not what you think. They were designed for concrete reinforcement when welded to angle iron. These happened to be new in the box, so I bought a handful of them. The price was right, and so was the diameter. I wish you well with your new property, mate. It's coming along nicely.

Next time you have to make a latch that catches like that, try using round bar. You don't have to get the angles just so, circles are very powerful. As long as the hook is 1° beyond 180°, it will necessarily hold regardless of weight. Just a neat little math trick that speeds up fabrication
