(ET) Loader Bucket

[Adrian Zeffert <adrian zeffert charter net>]

Interesting idea. I know this wil sporn a big discussion on 
electrohydraulics, but,

Check possibility of using 12VDC hydraulic pump from an outboard or 
outdrive unit. This might be a bit light. Also check Northern 
Hydraulics/Equipment for pumps that could be driven by your snow blower 
motor (little bit of overkill but would be a fairly light laod). I do 
believe that you will need some fairly stout hydraulic cylinders to lift 
and tilt. I have a special built construction loader/backhoe. The 1/3rd 
yard bucket can lift 2400 # and curl 3600 #, it uses 3" cylinders and is 
driven at 2,500PSI from a Georotor Pump running off the 25HP twin Kohler.

Good Luck,

BTW do you live San Frincisco or San Francisco?
