Hi,

The 61" materials bucket will work on the 200 loader however, you will have times when working with heavy material such as stonedust, nitpack, dense and damp loam that you will stall the loader when lifting out of the pile with a full rounded bucket. Lighter material you will be happy with it.

The above is based on a 2520 which has the same lift as the 2320

I have never regretted getting the 61 on my 2520. It does take some work on the technique to get a full bucket of, say, 3/4 inch crushed rock....

Yep that about sums it up and no regrets here on the 61" bucket. Plus a shovel and steel rake fit completely in the bucket.

How many HP do these machines have? I have a 61hd bucket on my 300 loader, 4310 which is 32 hp. It's a good fit, never had a load it couldn't lift, in fact it is a little small for snow work so I got the high volume 73" bucket.

Was thinking maybe the 61 is a tad big for a lower HP machine, but judging by those pictures it looks like the right size, tires aren't even squashing
Don't think you would want anything smaller.
I actually cut a beat up 60" bucket down to around 48", thought it might come in handy, but it's just sitting there with the fresh paint unscratched, never used it.

After many years I still raise the bucket all the way up just so I can take a peek inside it from the tractor seat to verify the amount of material and to shake the material back inside the bucket. Most of the time this action results in crusher run or the material all over the hood of my tractor, but I still do it:confused2:. The wife always says, "why do you do that"? After 30 some years, I say "cause I can". Don't want to be caught with only a half load.
