Hi all,
I am planning on getting a LB3104 backhoe for my XR4150H. Just wondering about what size bucket(s) to get. The dealer said they had 12", 16", 18", and 24". I live in the SF Bay Area and the soil on my place is mostly clay with some rocks. The clay is real sticky and heavy when wet, and fairly hard when dry. I was thinking a 24" bucket may have a harder time digging the clay. I know I want a narrow bucket (12")for digging water and irrigation lines, and maybe the 18" for when I want to take bigger bites. I also plan on getting the mechanical thumb. Any thoughts, recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
