Default Re: adapting a WRLong 4-in-1 bucket to my Kioti

way too wide for my Kioti KL130 FEL. The bkt has seen light use, but it has
been left outside for a while. It has some rust and is a little too light duty
for my taste, so I will rebuild it, as well as adapt it to fit my tractor.

Did I say this was a light duty 4-in-1? Well, the sides are only 3/16", the
lower cylinder pins are 7/8" and NOT greasable, and the lower jaw (dozer half)
has only a 1/8" steel carcass! I weighed it and it is only #326#, only 146#
more than my OEM fixed bucket.
That was a good find for $500.00 compared to $2500.00 new. Is the new HJ-2 made to a different spec.? Interesting how they just drilled the cylinder rod. Look forward to seeing how you beef it up to suit your tastes.
