Loading the rear tires is an option of course and that will add almost 500lbs I believe. I imagine even with the 50" bucket they would still require ballast on the 3pt so that seems an unlikely reason for eliminating the 54" bucket. )</font>
I think it had more to do with lateral forces with the extra width of the bucket, not front to back. I suspect their thinking was that an uneven load could cause twisting damages more with the extra 2" on each side. Who knows?
John )</font>I also think the problem is I have seen alot of homeowners running these subs, and compacts around with full buckets with the loader 3/4 in the air.You are just looking for problems doing that,maybe they should include a instructional DVD on the proper way to run a piece of equipment when you purchase a machine ?
