The title says it all. Priced the bags from Kubota and remembered how much fun it was to empty the bags.
I removed the top and the bag hanging frame from the GCK60. Built a frame that bolts up to where the hanging frame mounted.
Bought the skins from two used top loader washing machines.
Built an angle iron frame around the bottom and top. Made trap door and top door out of plywood. Used 1/2" hardware cloth for the screen in the top. Put a piece of sheet metal down off the top to try to keep the screen cleaner.
Bought but haven't installed yet a TerraKing FS2 ultrasonic fill sensor. Will report back on how well it works.
Positives: Much bigger than original bags and you don't have to dump them.
Cons: Need to design a better latch for the dump gate. When you dump you have to rake out the remaining material and it doesn't pile the material high. So you still need your loader to stack the material.
Overall I am happy with it.
