Poor Man’s Light Materials Bucket! NEW Bucket Extenders for Sub Compact Tractors!

A DIY install video showing how to build an Edge Tamer bucket extender, essentially a wood-framed add-on that turns a standard sub-compact bucket into a light-materials bucket for leaves, mulch, or light snow. Tim walks through every cut, measurement, and fastener, including real-time problem-solving when lumber bows overnight. Lumber costs come in at roughly $20 (prices cited from Menards), plus $180 for the Edge Tamer hardware. Best for hands-on owners already running Edge Tamers who want a budget alternative to a dedicated light-materials bucket.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects and DIY attachments, with a self-described non-expert, trial-and-error approach.
