4in1 bucket..anyone use one?

[2650fan]

Am interested in adding a 4in1 bucket to my b2650.
Anyone have one on that sized tractor? I know they are heavy and am looking for the look lightest one they make.
Thoughts?
Thx

I bought a Kubota 4-In-One bucket when I bought my L6060.

Wouldn't do it again.

Limited usefulness and much too heavy.

Great for skilled operator and skid steer, though.

Seems to be a 'down under' implement. Always wondered how/why they use them ?

X2-I also purchased a very nice and really heavy 4 in 1 bucket. I had hoped it would have multiple functions digging, grading and grapple. I know for sure it is not a replacement for a grapple. It can dig and grade but it requires a really good operator and a bunch of counter weight to get the most out of it. Average use so far is once per year.

Thanks for feedback…found a 60” EA bucket with tooth bar lightly used and went with that

I didnt buy one for these reasons. The grapple function sucks...you should not really be using it as a dozer blade on a tractor, they are heavy, and expensive.

I think they're a good concept other than that the 'dozer' blade part of it is not suited to a tractor. If one were made something like a half-depth (short bottom) tooth bucket for more powerful digging/prying and then a 'bucket extension' sort of lid and both had more useful gripping designs on the side walls, i think it would be better suited for a tractor. But i agree that buying a skid steer 4n1 is probably not a good idea unless you put it on a huge tractor, or you're buying one for a mini skid steer (smaller, lighter, but still commonly up to ~54" wide) and modifying it to suit. I considered following that path for my B8200 but decided if i'm going to do it at all, i should just build it the way i want it, which is halfway between a dedicated 'tine' bottom grapple, and the usual 4n1.
