The "Hulk" ya right, remember, I'm the skinny one who builds machinery to do the work, thank god for hydraulics.
Can't remember how many passes to bend this, would guess 10 or 12, the limiting factor is the pressure screws, when your turning them down the plate is being bent between the two lower rollers, as your rolling it there seams to be more mechanical advantage, maybe just the length of the crank arm.
Had to cut the plate into three strips to roll it then weld it back together to form the bucket of this tree spade.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
