    Abstract: A tractor having a front end loader has a bucket with tines attached to the underside of the bucket. The front end loader is used to raise/lower and tilt the bucket in a conventional fashion in order to position the tines where they can gather trash by driving the tractor forwardly towards the trash. The trash can be picked up by first tipping the front end of the bucket up, which tips the bottom of the tines up as well. Secondly, the bucket, tines and trash can then be lifted using the front end loader. Thirdly, the tractor can then be driven to a place where the trash is to be dumped and fourthly, the bucket can be tipped so the front end of the bucket and thereby the bottom of the tines are tipped backwardly and upwardly to cause the trash to fall out of the tines.
