4 in 1 bucket

Found a 4 in 1 bucket. Modified it to fit to fit a skid steer carrier attachment. Is it too big for my Toolcat?

I believe it weighs nearly 2000 lbs. 93" wide. It is several years old but has never been used. When I bought it, it was still strapped to the original pallet.

Never owned a BobCat, but have just ordered a 4-in-1 bucket with my new John Deere. That's what caught my interest about your topic. What I'd question in your case is how much - if any - rear ballast can you attach to that ToolCat?

The 4 in 1 is actually for a compact wheel loader I have. The bucket is too big for my Toolcat. However, my wheel loader uses a heavy duty skid steer attachment just like my TC. In one of the pictures, I have a Landpride 8' 700# rear blade that is just visible. My TC is the 5610 which has 3 pt and pto. I modified my lift cylinders on the TC to lift more. I estimate, I can lift nearly 3000 lbs. Even at max lift, I have yet to lift the back end of the TC but I often still use rear ballast on heavy lifts. I also have a JD 4520 with FEL and rear wheel weights. The 4520 is much lighter in the rear than the TC when using the FEL, although the 4520 has less lift.
