- Kioti DK5010 with KL5510 Loader & 72" Bucket. Kawasaki Mule Pro MX SE with 66" snow plow.
We have a 54" materials bucket on our Kioti LK3054 and want to go to a larger width. We widened our rear tires to an outside diameter of 61" plus for snow removal just want a greater size. The tractor with loader and loaded tires is probably at least 3600 lbs. and has 30.5 hp. The loader manual refers to up to a 68" bucket in the parts list.
My questions are:
1. I was thinking of 60" to 66". Any concerns with this? Any comments?
2. If I buy a used one any issues adapting it? I assume it just means cutting off the old brackets on the back and welding new ones to attach to. It is a standard attachment without a quick attach.
3. Any ideas on where/how to find used buckets? I live in the top of California, close to Oregon.
Thanks for your assistance!
