Need another (maybe two) heavy duty bucket for CTL. Looking at 78" or 84". I've got the Bradco Heavy Duty on the TAK. Its well made but just double checking on the dealer's pricing.

Give up the 411 on your favorite place to buy these. I do not want anything cheap.

BTW-The work volume is up, I'm estimating and looking at quite a few things. I was talking with my Komatsu Dealer today on a rental rate for a WA250 wheel loader and he said things were very, very busy the past 3 weeks. They shipped 8 rental machines yesterday and today.

Get a combo bucket, it's the last bucket you will ever need, Cat or Bobcat's and Virnig are really nice, they are thicker all around and the balance any CTL out better, I have a Bobcat 66" combo that came with my T190 new in 2003 and it's on the 3rd skid steer now.
Bradco buckets are also much better made than Bobcat's regular C/I buckets, much thicker cheeks and bottom plates.

to add to ron's idea, if you have a secondary set of hydraulics, put a tilt tatch between your quick pins and the 4n1 . I am going to go that route in the near future. I have a 66" combo bucket and I like it. It's heavy but well made (bobcat branded but not sure who makes it).
