RE: (ET) Inverter as well as E15 with plow/mower on eBay

Dave,

the bucket is a Swisher ATV bucket. I like its sturdy
design. It is manual dump (the weight of the bucket will
dump it, even if its empty) and its lifted with a WarnWorks
1700 pound 12V winch with self locking gear (important to
hold the weight, my first winch didn't). 

I was gonna report about it to the group eventually but 
need to improve my mount. It needs to be higher. The tiller
bar seemed a good place initially and it is not bad if the
bar is in the upper position but I am working on a mount
that is on the height of the frame and also provides a better
place to mount the winch permanently. It seems the bucket is
designed to be mounted about a foot off the ground. This way 
it will dump fully with a little bit of ground clearance. 
Also this first design shown in the pictures sticks out 
too far from  the rear axle. I want the bucket to be as 
close as possible  to reduce the leverage the bucket 
weight has.

I'll post pictures once I have it mounted properly.

Markus
