- Kioti DK5010 with KL5510 Loader & 72" Bucket. Kawasaki Mule Pro MX SE with 66" snow plow.
I can buy a new 60" Kubota Light Materials bucket that will fit on my 30.5 hp Kioti LK3054 at a reasonable price. My concern is the "Light" part. The dealer said it weighs 125 lbs. As a comparison Everything Attachments has a general purpose bucket that weighs 225 lbs. Obviously there is a lot less metal in the Kubota one.
The dealer said that some of the Kubotas up to 30+ hp come in with these buckets standard so it does not seem like a big issue. The main use of the tractor is snow removal but we use the loader here and there for other things. The tractor does not get heavy usage. The advantage would be a greater lift load.
Should I be concerned about the light construction and why?
Anyone use Kubota's Light Materials bucket on a tractor around 30 hp?
Thanks for your help!
