Would likely clean out better when you dump it -- things tend to stick in the corners of the bucket...

What's a rolled back bucket?
Something with a plate that was rolled in a press to make it a radius curve instead of welded or bent angles at the back?
If so, I can see advantages and disadvantages of both designs.
I know I can back grade with my flat back and I suspect a round back would tend to slide over things.
Also, I can tell when the leading edge is parallel to the ground by curling the bucket forward until the flat back just lifts off the ground. Can that be done with a round back?
Also, I think a round back would hold less cubic material than an angled back.
I could probably stack things better in a flat bucket compared to a round bucket, like, say, paving bricks.
What about carrying things like a chainsaw and gas can to a work site? Would they tip over easier in one VS the other?
Oh, man, lots of questions. Sorry. :laughing:
