Dirt Moving TC-29 Weak hydraulics?

Let me add that I think a 68" bucket is HUGE for your tractor. I have a 72" bucket on my TC45D and I bought a 60" bucket because it is a much better digger because of the less effort required to dig with it. It's like the difference between a flat blade shovel and a sharp shooter. Sometimes you can get more accomplished with a lot of small bites than a few big bites. I think we all tend to overestimate the capabilities of our equipment until we smack up against the wall of reality. I sure know I've done that a few times.

that large bucket sounds good for snow.. or loose /light stockpiled material like mulch, piled sand.. etc.

I think you're right about the bucket being big for the size of the tractor, but I bought the the tractor used and that's the bucket that came with it. I haven't used it in snow yet, but I can't wait.

Maybe I missed it, but it sounds like V1Rotate could use a toothbar on that bucket too.

My Deere 4400 has a 61" bucket (73" was an option), but I'm glad I got the smaller bucker...as Jinman wrote, smaller buckets are better diggers.
