Snow kubota 3540 snow bucket

[coldfingers]

Need some advise, have the square back "72" bucket as standard equipment and have thought about getting a bigger bucket for snow removal. Titan attachments has "78" and "84" medium duty buckets on sale right now. They weigh 468 and 529 lbs. and are about "10" deeper than my regular bucket. Will my tractor handle that with snow? Thanks!

What loader do you have?Why not go with a front plow instead of a light materials bucket?I know a guy that had a similar bucket on a L3940 for clearing his business parking lot;seemed to do a good job.

I have the 723 or is it 724, I forget. I just have a couple of driveways and the city piles snow across the street so I use a bigger box blade and drag it out into the street, grap a bucket full and fill the box blade and away I go. Works pretty good.

In your situation it sounds like the light materials bucket would be the way to go.May-be three or four times the volume of a standard bucket.
