Bigger bucket for BX?

[Sodbuster]

Just purchased a Bx2380
It comes with a loader with the 48" bucket. Just wondering if anyone knew of a larger bucket in the aftermarket. 50"-55" pin on. Just something for pushing snow, picking up lawn debre, etc. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

depending on the density of snow, bigger is NOT better.......
you can make/buy 'bucket extenders' to fill more LIGHT debris into the bucket..

Snow is about 25 lbs per cu ft Dirt is about 40

Here's one way.

What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Found an old apple tree buried in some thorn bushes I thought I would try to resurrect. Used the FEL with the PBAR to remove about 10 of em. They came out pretty easy, the teeth got a nice hold of the roots and they popped out well enough. Here's the after shot. When I get time I'll clear out...

well ,maybe the nice white virgin stuff ,from up above... BUT...the 'snow' the City plows into my driveway weighs a LOT more.

Kubota Dealer. It's the stock bucket off my LX2610. I've had a 72" Kubota bucket on order for my LX from the local dealer for over a month now so it does take a while to get one.

You don't by chance know the Kubota part No. For that 54" bucket?

Thanks

Well, you're about half right. A cubic foot of dirt is typically around 80 lbs.

B2371. It's a SSQA bucket, I think the op was looking for pin on.

I did ask for a pin on bucket. But when the ink dryer on the paper I ended up opting for the SSQA bucket. So it's all good

Specs on the B2371 are:

54" Bucket 175lbs
6.7 cu. ft. Struck, 8.1 cu. ft. Heaped

I have a 72" ordered that's :

L2236 72” Light Material Bucket 323lbs
12.7 cu. ft. Struck, 16.0 cu. ft. Heaped

My bx2670 with the 48 in bucket will not lift a full bucket of limestone gravel more than 4 feet. Same with wet dirt. The cylinders are just not big enough. And , yes, I do have the pressure boosted. Granted, sometimes more volume with lighter stuff is needed.
