711 loader mod

bigjohn125 · Feb 25, 2019

Has anyone ever widened a 711 load bucket? I currently have the manure bucket with the material plate. I would like to widen it to the non-arm side if that make sense. I would like to make the bucket as wide as the tractor if possible. I can't find a snow bucket for one anywhere and it still wouldn't cover the track of the right front tire. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

I used to have this big bucket on a 711.
Was on it when I bought it. I don't know who made it but I have seen this same bucket (different frame of course) on Farmalls, ACs, Deeres and even an old Moline.
It was relatively light so I wouldn't want to use it for dirt but as a snow bucket it worked good. Maybe look in some boneyards for one.
The lock for the trip had been modified to work on the 711 trip. Was a pretty easy mod as I remember and didn't require any cobbling of the rest of the loader.

There is a bucket that attaches to the manure bucket by slipping over the points that stick out past the material plate and a bolt or two on each side up high. Gives at least a foot on either side more width, a foot more depth, and our 860 wheels would fit in the track. Don't have a picture handy but will try to find one.
