Got to say started digging my pond and it's pretty much scary getting out of there with a load of dirt. It just wants to tip over and scare the crap out of me.

Since you spent so much already why not buy the Hoye rear spacer kit to move the rears out 4'' per side and make it 8"s wider in the rear. Hoye says it makes a huge difference. There like $300 shipped I was thinking which is not that much considering the loader you just bought.

maybe fluid film in the bucket? I think it suppose to bond more to the metal for applications like your needing.

I'm broke. Lol. Just flipping the rear hubs made a huge difference. Once I fill the back with fluid I think I will be set enough to get this pond made. She does have a set of big balls but I guess I should paint them the Yanmar red.

Funny how you guys think I'm rich cause I bought a loader. I sold my truck. I got a cheaper truck and used the rest to get the loader. I have bills that are late , money problems just like anyone else. Money is for fools don't need money to be happy. I am happy on my land with my family.

I would not be afraid to spray the bucket with diesel. It should work and any residue will long since have dissapated.

You need more counter weight. I found some old tractor suitcase weights that are normally attached to the front. Bolted them to an inexpensive drawbar from TSC. Easy to put on / take off as the need arises. Gives great rear wheel traction and makes the tractor less tippy.
