Abstract: A motorized vehicle is provided for transporting material and selectively dumping the material from the vehicle. In one example, the motorized vehicle includes a frame, first and second forward wheel assemblies coupled to the frame, and a rearward wheel assembly coupled to the frame. An engine is supported by the frame and configured to rotate the first and second forward wheel assemblies to move the motorized vehicle. The motorized vehicle also includes a bucket supported by the frame adjacent the first and second forward wheel assemblies. The bucket is configured to rotate about a vertical axis between a first radial positon in which a longitudinal axis of the bucket is generally parallel with the longitudinal axis of the frame and a second radial positon in which the longitude axis of the bucket is oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame.
