Seen this new style bucket at the dealer Sunday. Looks more like a skid steer style bucket. Was on a 2305.

Great photo comparison, I had heard that they changed the bucket style but had not seen them yet.

Nice. I wonder if the shape makes it any easier to get the bucket full of material? It's probably my technique but I seem to have a tough time getting the bucket full when I'm scooping gravel off a pile.

Sure dont look as tidy:D Also not a whole lotta room to weld hooks on either!

Sure looks like the new one would be easier to stand in while painting and pruning trees. The curved bottom on my bucket is a real pain to stand in. We are supposed to use them as a ladder, correct?

I sure do, lots of hours of ladder time.

Does anyone know if the capacities are about the same?

Looks to me that the new style has more capacity, just by comparing them in the pictures.

Hmm, I would have liked one of these, but I can work with the 73" HD I got.
