I think they like to load with 4-6 buckets per truck. If you load this truck with your standard excavator that will be like "filling a 5-gal. bucket with a teaspoon". Do you have plans for a larger bucket or maybe a larger excavator? Keep the pictures coming.

This may give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do. The bolt flange allows the rim to rotate past mounting ears then rotated a bit to line up bolt holes.
