Is anyone using a 30" digging bucket on a 8K lb machine? I have a 35d that has an operating weight of about 8k lbs, it has a lifting capacity of about 1,500 lbs. The 30" JD bucket that I'm looking at has a 5.2cu/ft capacity. I believe that comes out to about 500lbs and change plus the 218lbs the bucket weighs?
My question is, will a 30" bucket be to heavy for the machine and make unstable while swinging? JD does market a 30" bucket for a 35D.
Or, am I overthinking it?
Thanks
