It's 40 inches wide and non hydraulic? Take a look at a bobcat bucket. It has about a 1/2 inch x 6 inch beveled cutting edge and a couple of 1/4 or 3/8's wear strips on the bottom. The main shell of the bucket is about 10 gauge (1/8) steel. The whole bucket doesn't need to be real heavy, only the working parts. If the bucket is too heavy, you won't be able to carry anything let alone steer. Modifying an existing bucket might be easier than building one. You want to make sure it sits flat on the ground and isn't twisted side to side. You would also have to clamp it somehow so it wouldn't twist from welding if you made your own. It can certainly be done but might be a real headache as well. Good luck. Dave
