Some Bucket issues. As I am soliciting prices on tractors and combinations of features, I came to the point of deciding if I need a HD bucket and a QA.
In the course of considering a HD bucket vs regular bucket, it seems that it would be important to determine the per cubic weight of the heaviest material you would ever want to move, and multiply that times the cubic foot capacity of the regular bucket. If that bucket will easily handle the material you might move, would there be any reason to get a HD bucket? The only reason which comes to mind then for the HD bucket is that with the rounded back it has a greater cubic foot capacity and thus you could move more material per load.
Next, the only other FEL utility I would want would be a pallet fork attachement - needed only infrequently, but then really needed. But if I get a pallet fork attachment, do I really need a QA, and if not, what is involved with substituting the bucket and forks ? A RPITA or just a little time involved ?
I assume a tooth blade (bolt on) can be used with either the regular and HD buckets.
Still learnin' here. THX
