Hello all

Talked myself into one of these tractors.
Rented one from HD and the 12 inch bucket worked for me. Will the new 16 inch be the best option?

Thinking that a drive up deck is the way to go for me. But really am just going for it because of the covenance

Thanks

Dog

I ordered the 12" bucket. My soil is clay, shale and hardpan. I figured the 16" would be slowed by all that. I can always order or make a bigger bucket later.

Does the 16in make that much difference over the 12in...??? I would think if it did, then the hydraulics aren`t that strong to begin with.
I guess you could add a shim or two in the relief valve to turn up some more pressure...no...???

I bought the 16in for mine... could always get a smaller one if i need it.

Shimming from 1700 psi to 2000 psi makes a hellva difference!:D;):)
