When I ordered my 4700 with the 460 loader I requested the 73" bucket. However, the stuctural soundness/strength of the bucket that was delivered is rather marginal and has bent/deformed beyond what I feel is acceptable. I just noted in the manual for the 460 loader that there are three different 73" buckets listed. Does any one have the knowledge or access to info for identifying which bucket I have? Dealer indicated there was only one 73" bucket for the 460 loader and that there was not a "heavy duty" version. I will have to get busy with the welder and reinforce this unit if that is the case.

GVW,
I knew I'd been there before, but JD's web site is so jumbled up, I spent the last hour trying to figure out how to get back to their product configurator (their word, not mine). If you go there, you can then select "tractors", "build my own" and click "go". On the page that comes up, under the equipment selection, you can select your 460 loader. On the next page under "Optional", select "attachments -- order as desired". This will then show what buckets are supposed to be available for your loader. I see 4 different part codes for 73" buckets, including one for a "heavy duty" version and another for a heavy duty with pre-drilled holes.

gvw The heavy duty 73" bucket has 4 ribs under the bucket & the standard duty has 2 ribs. also the HD has a double plate on the top of the bucket & double plate on the front of the sides of the bucket.

#%^&*+ -------Only two ribs - I am now the owner of a light weight bucket that is considerably bent as I really doubt that at this point I can send it back for the HD model - guess I should have been smarter in the ordering process.
