Was thinking the bigger bucket will be nice for snow too, as I was moving some around today. Not my primary use for it, but definitely another use.

I have a 84in Tomahawk mulch bucket and love it. I use it for leaf pickup in fall and snow removal in winter. One of my favorites shy of the pallet forks. Nice price as well...
Tomahawk Attachments :: Tomahawk Snow/Mulch Buckets
I've been thinking about this one, which sounds like yours: Tomahawk Attachments :: Tomahawk 84" Snow/Mulch Bucket

I can't tell, is there any reinforcement along the bottom from back to front of the bucket? I like that it's light, but at the same time I'm concerned that unreinforced 1/8" steel might be too weak even for snow (except that you like yours). For leaves I'm not worried.

My dealer pointed me at this 2019 HLA bucket:
But I note that the 2020 version has much more capacity for similar weight:

I think these are in the 2k range based on the 2019 quote, so a lot more expensive than the Tomahawk, but also quite a bit larger.

Yeah, I saw that. The Jenkins Iron & Steel ones with the particularly wide bolt on cutting edges. They don't say what the struck capacity is, and since they don't speak to it, shipping costs probably apply. At that price and dimensions I can get a similar one from my dealer off the lot. But maybe I need to chase it down some more, do you have one?

Appreciate the pointer either way. I've definitely been watching the craigslist ads, but not the tractorhouse ads, since those seem to be expensive dealer listings more than anything else.

No I don't have one I try to use what I have and not have a yard full of attachments. I might go look when I take out the mc if I had the truck it would be to easy to get one.....:)

Wonder what the shipping is on those. When I priced shipping for the 415 lb Tomahawk it was $318 shipping. Who knew the Amish liked to weld?
That claimed struck capacity for the 96 inch bucket (2.3+ cu yd) is huge!
