Is this common? I may be wrong, but I think on the Branson the self-leveling loader has a bucket that is 5 inches narrower?
self-leveling loaders have smaller buckets?

I can see no reason for smaller bucket with self leveling loader. Some models offer different size buckets as an option, could this be the situation here?

If it's a ssqa bucket it may have been changed, ne reason for a narrower bucket on a self leveler, mine is an 84" bucket.
OP, can you clarify which buckets Branson makes that you are looking at?

BL200 and BL25R. I think 25R is just smaller bucket. At first I thought it looked like auto leveling bucket but don't believe it is.

ON the Branson the regular and self leveling different buckets? I have a JD that was bought with regular fel and replaced it with self level and buckets were same size.
I was looking at those loader/bucket models and I didn't see anything about self-leveling but the BL200 is definitely a bigger loader setup - 600lbs more lift and 5" wider.

If you are looking at the self leveling loader it probably has the QD like Skidsteers (attachments interchangeable between types of machines), since the non-leveling like I have has such.
With that said, you can have any sized bucket that has the QD attachment, you want. My loader bucket is a full 6' and I didn't pay extra for it. It was sitting on the lot. Had no idea a SL loader even existed at the time nor what buckets came with it, or could be used with it.
