I have a Komatsu Pc50, it's around 11k lb machine. It had a 24" bucket that is pretty torn up.

I found a nice 30" bucket, but not sure if that is going to be to big for the machine.

Any advice?

Thanks

Old topic, and you probably purchased that bucket.
My experience is similar to yours, I had a hitachi ex50u and the 24 inch bucket was poor condition.
So I bought a new digging bucket that was 30 inches.
It worked out well, with heaping loads of dense material at full extension you could feel that you were at the limit of safety over the side of the machine.
But never had any issues.
