Bigger is ALWAYS better, this is America. IF you dont like it you can leave! ;). But seriously, I can think of uses where every bucket size would be best. A 5 might be best for digging and scraping, a 6 for tighter spaces and real dense heavy stuff, a 7 for heavy but not super heavy stuff like shale gravel and dirt, an 8 for cleaning up branches and moving light stuff like mulch....I probably have to pick two for now.......😞

I'd forgo the 8' for a grapple, I may get to try my claw-style on some rip-rap. 🔨🦞
