Seon,
You may have mentioned this already and maybe I missed it, but what is the reason your dealer won't ship you the correct bucket? Have you called him and tried to work out the difference? Maybe if you plead your case to him he might agree to sell you a 12" bucket at discounted price...or no shipping??...and then you'd have both sizes at a smaller cost? For other than trenching like digging big holes and needing to move a lot of dirt, a larger bucket sure comes in handy. In any case, it would allow you to be diversified and choose the right tool for the job. Just a thought?
I know I'd like a smaller bucket but have found my 18" wide one to be very handy especially when encountering rocks/boulders of significant size. Don't know if a narrower bucket would've allowed me to grab some of them? Thought I'd share this pic of some stuff I run into.
