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.

It can certainly be done but might be a real headache as well. Good luck. Dave
