Hi group. The ground where I live, Chester County, PA, is rather hard. Piercing into it with a spade often involves my jumping up and down to get a full scoop, and I weigh about 170 pounds. I imagine it's hard to say, but would it be beneficial for me to go with an 8" backhoe bucket on a BX24 instead of the 12"? I fear that the extra 4" would leave me unable to dig well and actually slow me down compared to an 8" bucket.
I do have some softer areas, so ideally I'd get both buckets. Does anyone know the approximate price of a 12" bucket by itself?
Thank you
