We have a JD 27 ZTS, we have a 30" and never take it off.The machine handles it great too. It is nice for power lines it leaves a nice trench floor. We clean a lot of ditch cleaning and that type work also. I would never be without one.

I would think the bigger the better as long as the machine can handle it. For grading the wider the flat surface the faster it will be. I had one with my Bob Cat 331 and graded a complete yard with it because the ground was to wet to use a dozer and had to complete the job for the sod to be installed. Any trench work needed you just change to a 24" digging bucket.

I have a 36" cleaning/Finishing Bucket on a TB135; Same setup as ATGreene.
has a tilt with a bolt on edge. Only way to go.

There are times when we put the 14" bucket on, but for what we do with it, we generally have the grading bucket on. I would love to have a little hyd. tilt bucket for it, anyone know what they go for??

I have a 50" clean up bucket, next to the thumb one of the best attachments you can put on a mini. Very useful, especially for the relative low cost. The hyd. angle buckets are more money and I intend to purchase one of those as well.

I have a 42" one on my Car 303 CR which I think is close to the same size machine. Handles it just fine.
