Which Bucket to buy for LA805 loader

[TSO]

Go with the 4n1 you will never have anything but once you have one. I can figure how to post photos from my phone but my 4n1 gets used a lot, and I do have a grapple also.

Depending on the 4-in-1, it may be too heavy to be highly effective on a CUT.

I just picked up a Bobcat brand 4-in-1 for my CTL...it weighs nearly 1000lbs. That's nothing to my CTL which has a tipping load of 5500lbs, But that bucket wouldn't be very effective on my tractor, which has a max lift rating of 2500lbs.

I went for a 4-in-1 for my 4105's 300CX FEL and couldn't be happier, especially for the odd time that the clamping/grappling/scraping feature was required. The remotes for the 4-in-1 function can also be easily un-bolted and fed back to the rear to act as a quick service point for, as an example, a hay rake.
Plus, the front remotes are there for a future grapple if you want one.

The 4-in-1 would be an overkill for my applications. I believe I'm going with the standard bucket which has always met my needs.

I've reinforced my round top HD bucket and it is now solid. Weld on teeth, side plates, bottom scraper, and a top pipe welded a of 1/2: X 1" bar.
Now it is tough at near 600 lbs. Mine is 1/2 Yard capacity.

we use L2235 of most everything. The build quality is more than adequate for most everyone.

I am not a proponent of the HD round back unless you specifically need it. You can almost buy two of the L2235's.

Always good to hear Messick's chime in:thumbsup:

The standard square-back bucket has been amply rugged enough for just about any reasonable use we've ever had. The standard 6 ft. Kubota bucket weighs more than 300 lbs... you'd have to be constantly prying loose boulders or something equally destructive to need something heavier... really not the type of work tractors like this were designed for... just my opinion. Can't tell you about the "light material" bucket, but unless you're only working with mulch or something, the standard bucket is a pretty good all-around choice.

How about the L39 or L45 buckets, are they heavy or light material.

Yes I was, thank you.

An I thought I was nuts, those are some heavy loads!
And look to me bore than 1/2 yard capacity if you fill it like that :thumbsup:
