Abstract
A conventional front end loader bucket has a horizontal bottom plate, an upper inclined plate and a curved joining plate between them; each of a pair of support arms is pivotally connected at one end to the inner side of the loader bucket, at the juncture of the upper plate and the joining plate, and at the other end pivotally supports a tine. The arm may be channel shaped, and the tine pivots to a stored position within the channel of the support arm, and tine support arm pivots to a stored position adjacent the top plate. The support arm may be straight, or may have an angled portion at the end which supports the tine.
