Heavy Duty Bucket 61" on 2305

[Chris2520]

I think there is about a 100 pounds difference.
61 inch material bucket is about 200 pounds. and 61 inch heavy duty
bucket is about 300 pounds. so the dealer says.
My pallet forks weighes 317 . and i have carried 1800 pounds with them. so the 2520 could handle it with no problem.
but my thought was , i did not need the extra weight for just moveing
dirt.. so i went with material bucket and tooth bar.
i still say 61 inch HD bucket is to heavy for a 2305....

Standard 61" bucket will hold up very well over time - even better with a tooth bar because it protects the lip of the bucket. I had a 61" bucket for my 4100 and 2520 and wouldnt go any smaller for those machines -

I ordered the HD 61 bucket with toothbar for my 2520 coming tomorrow - will let you know how she handles it.

61 HD and JD teeth is going to be about 440 pounds...

Yes let us know...

Course if you dont like it. its going to be about
a 500 dollar mistake....

yea Chris that is the only thing about my order that I am a little nervous about. I mistakenly thought you had the HD bucket when I ordered mine - then after realized you put the tooth bar on the standard bucket. Hopefully the hydraulics can handle it.

 

[Chris2520]

it will handle it no problem. just keep in mind.
you will now carry about an extra 100 pounds of mass on an
empty loader. you'll be fine. let us know the out come.
better yet post lots of good detailed pictures.....
