I THOUGHT I found a bucket loader once, in a junk pile.
It wasn't.  Pity; they are probably the hardest of all 
ET implements to find.

One could indeed make a backhoe or loader for an ET, but it is a whale of a
lot of work.  One could use the 
36V battery powered integral hydraulic pump/motors that 
are on most electric lift trucks, and parts from a small backhoe.  It would
be cheaper to just rebuild a 
small backhoe.  I even thought about a tree planter....
now there's a stretch!
