1. A landfill bucket for mounting on lift arms and tilt linkages of a loader comprising:

  • a pair of spaced hinge plates having means for being pivotally connected to loader lift arms and tilt linkages;

    a floor member which has a substantially planar area including a length in the direction of forward movement of the loader and extending across the width of the bucket;

    means connecting a rearward portion of said floor member to said hinge plates;

    a substantially flat plate having an upper surface in substantial alignment with the upper surface of said floor member and extending across the width of said bucket, said flat plate having a forward cutting edge and a rear surface held in abutting relationship with a forward edge of said floor member;

    a bucket wrapper member having a generally cylindrical surface with a horizontal axis, the lower end of said curved surface intersecting with said floor member at an angle along a line which is spaced from both said rearward portion and said forward edge of the floor member and being welded to the floor member along said line; and

    a pair of substantially identical side plates on opposite sides of said bucket, said plates having their upper portions secured to an upper portion of said bucket and their lower edges secured along opposite sides of said floor member and said flat plate, said side plates having a lower portion leading edge that extends upwardly at an oblique angle relative to the upper surface of said flat plate and an upper portion leading edge that extends substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of said flat plate to thereby form a recess at a junction between said lower and upper portions, the upper surface of said flat plate extending in a forward direction beyond the leading edges of the lower portions of said side plates.
