SSQA Buckets for B7800

[resotek]

Hi, this is my first post here, but I've been reading for some time and soaking up a lot of great information. In fact, right now, I'm in the process of upgrading my B7800 w/ LA402 to SSQA. I used the Kubota L2230A adapter sourced from my local dealer. However, one thing that remains a mystery (and changes over time) is what current production Kubota buckets will work with this SSQA. I want to use the lightest weight bucket possible and from my research this is what I've found:

B2324, 54" QA Bucket, Weight 198 lbs
B2356, 60" QA LM Bucket, Weight 228 lbs
B2371, 54" QA LM Bucket, Weight ???
B2372, 60" QS LM Bucket, Weight ???

My dealer says the B2324 and B2356 are no longer available and cross to the B2371 and B2372. I'd like to get the missing weights above and find out if anyone can confirm the buckets indeed fit the L2230A adapter.

TL;DR;

Does anyone know the weight of the B2371 and B2372 buckets?
Can anyone confirm these buckets fit the L2230A?

SSQA is universal, any SSQA bucket should fit it.
You don't have to buy just a Kubota Bucket, there are other SSQA buckets available.

Roger that, but I everything else I've seen has been much more expensive and much heavier. I'm all ears for suggestions on light weight options (around 200 lbs).

This is just the first I found: 88lbs, but I do question that number?

QA 'should' mean 'Quick Attach' so universal fit....
LM 'might' mean 'Light Material', so weighs less as thinner gauge steel..

LA402 loader should lift 800-900#s, so really 50-60# difference shouldn't be an issue depending on what you're lifting

hmmm.... 87.99691978 lbs HAS to be a misprint. 187 #s I can understand and really 8 decimal points ???
No code has to be inserted here.

I put this on my L35, maybe the 66". Technically, it's a loader bucket. Regardless of which you get, I recommend a bolt-on cutting edge if you're going to use it much.
