so I talked to the dealer... apparently the site is wrong. There are two buckets - a GP 72 inch one yard bucket (presumably the one you have) and an 84" light duty/snow bucket that is ~2 yards.

Since the v519 is 82 inches across the tires, I'm leaning toward a heavy duty 84 inch dirt bucket with teeth. It is about 3/4 of a yard, but is wide enough to cover the wheels. Do you think this is a good compromise? Or should I go with the higher volume but narrower 72 in bucket, like you have?

Boy, that is a tough decision. I never have needed the bucket width to cover my tracks. But I don't move snow with it.

For moving dirt, you can fill the bucket by extending the boom, so it doesn't matter if the tires are wider.

So it comes down to what you will be doing most with it and what you will be dumping the 84 inch bucket into or carrying stuff a long distance.
