4n1 buckets - useful?

[Farmwithjunk]

I've used 'em on back hoes at work. Handy doesn't do them justice. Like having another hand.

I have both for my full sized JD 210-C and much prefer the standard bucket for general use. About the only thing I've found the 4 in 1 useful for is picking up stuff, but even that is limited. I guess if I lived in an area that had lots of brush/stumps etc I might use it more. I just find it too bulky and clumsey. My standard bucket is 7/8 CY and, for me at least, makes the machine much more nimble. I can back drag better with it, but again thats just me. The nice thing is I can change buckets in a half hour as the hydraulics are there, a few quick couplers and pins and away I go.
