Moving stuff like compost or cleaning out stalls OK, a full bucket of crusher run is a different story. If you build one just be careful and keep the load close to the ground when operating it.
I'm with Sam on the size of the buckets. They are way too big for the machine and probably give people a false sense of what the loader is actually capable of. If I got one, I would build a smaller bucket and probably add some teeth to it.
