I’ve had it with stuck buckets! 💪 #construction #heavyequipment #tools

What happens here

The project begins with a man presenting two plastic 5-gallon buckets that have been stuck together for a year. He expresses the desire to separate them due to the rising cost of buckets. To attempt separation, a heavy-duty chain is attached to the top bucket's handle and another chain to the bottom bucket. The chains are then hooked to two different pieces of heavy machinery: a compact track loader (skid steer) and a mini excavator. Both machines simultaneously pull in opposite directions to try and force the buckets apart. This attempt fails, with the buckets remaining stuck.

Goal: Pull the stuck buckets apart using opposing force from two machines

Tools and materials

  • Compact Track Loader — Providing pulling force from one side
  • Heavy-Duty Chains — Connecting the buckets to the heavy machinery
  • Mini Excavator — Providing pulling force from the opposite side
  • Stuck Plastic Buckets PLUS 3 — The primary items to be separated

What they say

These buckets have been stuck together for a year. With the rising cost of buckets, there's no way I'm going to let this one go.
