Four way loader buckets ?

[Lowlysubaruguy]

Ive found a 2023 L3560 grand thats new sold by a Kubota dealer. It has a four way loader bucket. Im on the fence mainly because of the bucket. But maybe you can help clear up some of my concerns or questions. I could package another stock bucket in with the purchase. This tractor will do a lot of loader work digging gravel and rocks moving and leveling a long driveway and a lot of just land smoothing that will require loader and box scraper work.

The price is decent its not an amazing deal but its enough tractor at a price I can accept.

The 4 in 1 bucket is going to be probably at least 50% heavier, which means there is that much less weight of material you can lift with it ... However it also means it comes plumbed with the hydraulics up front which isn't a cheap option ...

I'd probably opt for a standard bucket to go along with it.

4 in 1 bucket is heavier and tends to be more rugged than a standard bucket. They are great for grabbing and moving objects as they appear when you are digging and leveling material, things like bigger rocks, sticks, logs etc. They also are great when loading over something high sided because you can just open the bucket up to dump. We always had 1 of our 3 payloaders set up with a 4 in 1 bucket over the 40 years we had them.
