Who Makes Smaller Snow Buckets?

[yooperdave]

Looking for a 60" or maybe 66" snow bucket for an LS XJ2025 with SSQA connection.

Some of those heavy duty buckets for skid steers may weigh upwards of 700# which is too heavy for me.

The smallest bucket I found so far is 72" which might possibly work - but still on the bigger side.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Are you looking to go smaller in size or lighter ? Or both.?
I personally would go as big as I could but " light"..

I just bought a new LS XJ2025. I found out that it is illegal to push snow across the road so a pusher will not work. Therefore I can use a snow bucket and place the snow anywhere I want.

I will have rim guard in the tires, and with me on the seat will add 1,000# of ballast.

I did not want too wide of a bucket, as it will take more traction to facilitate. The tractor is 50" wide.

I found a 60" bucket and it weighs 500#. That leaves quite a bit of weight left to pick up snow.

The driveway is paved ~ 50' x 130' with a slope.

Worksaver makes some nice snow pushers of all different sizes from 52" on up. Can you not push the snow with a pusher to the area you would build a pile?
A cheaper method would be to use the Edge Tamer skids for use on your existing bucket. Or you could always buy a rear blade and turn it around backwards so it doesn't cut-it when pulling snow, or keep it facing forward and push it in reverse. I've never seen skids like the ones Edge Tamer builds, however, I think for what they are their price is a little expensive. I am sure I can build them my self or have them built for less than their cost on a set.
