Northern Michigan Snow – Much of the snow we get comes off the Great Lakes as Lake Effect Snow. We can get 10 , 15 or even 20 inches of it overnight . It is so light and fluffy and has little weight to it this is what this bucket will be fun to play in. Last week it was a font blade and today it is looking like a snowbucket. I still have to get metal to build up the cutting edge yet. You can see at the top the old swivel that used to be attached to a 4 in. square steel beam that hooked to the rear of my 5400 JD 3 point hitch. 10 years after building it and i never used it once so i decide to cut it up and mount it to the Waldon. The blade was fun but this new bucket conversion will be even more fun.
Have a great Friday .
