They all come with light materials buckets which are not ment to be used
in digging solid earth. They are only ment to be used to scoop loose materials.

If you want to use it for snow work; lining it with UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) Plastic sheeting from
Horn Plastics High-Performance Trailer & Dump Truck Body Liners to make it sticky proof by lining the interior of the bucket with it using
metric bucket elevator bolts, flat washers and metric nylock nuts.

I made my own bucket just for snow. It's 6' wide rather than the OEM 4' and an extra 8" higher. On my GC 2610 it's the perfect size as anything bigger wouldn't work. You can feel it start to struggle when lifting a heaping bucket of wet snow. Your tractor will obviously handle a larger bucket if this gives you any help.

I have the Kubota 8 light materials/snow bucket.
Its not heavy duty, but its plenty strong enough for snow, topsoil or stone. I have run thousands of scoops of top dressing soil and buckets of snow through them and they have held up great

Seeing you have this under Snow Removal, are you sure you want a second bucket for moving snow? If so this is a first for me. Seems most folks on here with enough experience under their belt, look to get away from buckets in lieu of plows or blowers.

If you have a quick attach front loader bucket, get one of these:84-in High Capacity Skid Steer Bucket
