Bucket question

KentT · Jan 5, 2007

Getting back to your original question, RegL's picture in this topic clearly illustrates the size difference between a grapple bucket and a LM bucket. For the 422/425, the LM bucket is also 3" wider than the grapple bucket...

Thanks Kent. The LMB is certainly bigger and would do well for my basic uses. I'm just pondering whether I could beef up the area on the LMB where I could attach grapple arms or go a different direction like grapples on the fork idea.

All this is hypothetical until I sell my Legacy SCUT and get the 425 but it's still fun to daydream. The problem with PT is that there are way too many attachments! LOL

What is the inside distance between the fork blades for the 425? Can't find it in PT's info and forgot to ask them last time I called. Thanks.

It's 10 and 15/16. A little under 11. This is on my 2000 model year forks for my 422. I would think it would not change.
