B3200 54" or 60" bucket.

If you are going to be using the loader for any digging, brush grubbing, etc go for the 54". If you are just going to be using it for moving loose material go for the 60".

Also, depending on your tire choice the 54" may be better. A heaping 54" bucket of gravel is about all the front Ag tires can handle, about the same with the turf tires. With Industrial tires that shouldn't be an issue.

I had the same dilemma when I bought my B3300SU a month or so ago. I wanted the 54" and the dealer STRONGLY suggested the 60". I got the 60". I've used the heck out and even toted rocks in it that the FEL could barely lift and it's just fine. I'm glad I went with the 60" and the whole "Light Duty" thing has not been an issue at all so far.

I have the 60" on my B3200 and no complaints. I just wanted to haul a couple more pieces of firewood at one time. I have toothbar on mine but have not tried any heavy digging yet.

When I bought my B7800, which is a bit smaller than a B3200, the 54" bucket came standard. The dealer was out of 54" buckets so he gave me a 60" bucket for no extra charge. The B7800 handles dirt and gravel easily with the 60". And its a much better size for moving snow.

I have done some serious rock rooting with mine and it is still straight. With normal use the light bucket will never be a problem. You have the extra payload available over the heavy duty bucket too.:thumbsup:
