I have 1996 Volvo L50C, and looking to buy GP bucket mainly for loading gravel and dirt, have option between 2.6 CY or 2.1 CY, don't want to go too big or too small, any advice? Thank you for your help. (For Information it GOW 19,800 Lb.).

That little 50 will handle quite a bit. Long as you dont stick a 120/150 bucket on you'll be fine. Is it pin on or quick attach?

The quick coupler adds significant weight, but not so much to be tippy. I wouldn't go any bigger than 2.7 maybe 3 if you're handling light fluffy stuff.
