Kioti DK5010 with KL5510 Loader & 72" Bucket. Kawasaki Mule Pro MX SE with 66" snow plow.
Going to get a Ratchet Rake for my Kioti DK5010, 72" bucket. Tractor width is 62.8". They come in 68" and 72". The 68" are more available and less expensive. Is there a disadvantage to it being 4" shorter than the bucket width???
Thanks for your feedback!

No real disadvantage except 4" less coverage. The 72" is made for tractors up to 90 HP so they are heavier, made of thicker steel 5/8". Your best bet would be a 68" made of 1/2" steel.

The 68" will cover your track if you wanted to back up and leave a nice smooth area, so it should be adequate.
