I have a cat 226b and looking at long bottom vs short bottom buckets. I was planning to get one with teeth and was thinking short bottom would be better. But I wouldn't mind more capacity that a long bottom gives. Am I overthinking this and should just get a long bottom tooth bucket or will it be a bit much for my machine in hard digging? I already have a smooth std 30" bottom bucket that I can convert to teeth and get the new bucket as smooth which is a good option too.
