Think this might be my last ? re: the new MX5800HST. Well... probably not haha. Is the L2235 a good bucket or should I get a heavier duty one? Will be using the FEL for dirt work, rocks, logs, & pretty much everything else you can imagine. I'm hard on equipment so don't mind upgrading if I should but if it's a decent bucket, I'll keep it.

Easy - HD one. Bought it when I got my 2012 MX and still not a dent or bend. I often use it for moving dirt/logs/etc....

HD bucket with the (BOE) bolt on cutting edge is the only way to go , At this point what's a few more dollars

Good looking bucket Jeff, looks tough! Also looks bigger than the light material bucket but maybe it's just the pic?

The L2296 bucket holds slightly less than the standard bucket, considerably less than the light materials bucket.
L2296 weighs approximately 100 pounds more than the standard bucket.

I recommend a pair of 5/16"/Grade 70 Ken's weld-on chain grab hooks for your L2296 bucket, fused approximately in line with FEL arms to distribute torque.

When I bought both my MX5800 and L6060 tractors, the dealer recommended the CA 4 bucket with replaceable bolt on cutting edge.

The price was the same as the Kubota L2296 but he claims the CA 4 is a heavier duty bucket. To be honest, I don't see much difference between the CA 4 and the Kubota OEM bucket on my old L3430. I do like the replaceable cutting edge and tooth bar option though.

Interesting info. We have a Construction Attachments 4N1 bucket on our MX5800. I really like the flexibility of a 4N1 bucket but I have thought about getting a regular bucket also. If I do, I'll buy it from Everything Attachments. Is the general recommendation to get a bucket with bolt-on teeth and also bolt-on cutting edge? Can you get both on the same bucket? Thanks.
