Does anyone have any experience with any of the other buckets available for the 524 loader on a L3800? Just curious.

I have the Kubota Quick Attach (SkidSteer) bucket, 66" I'm pretty sure any skidsteer bucket will work. Kubota also has the 60" pin on. Kubota is not real strong on supplying info on their products. It would be nice to know the distance between the loader arms, to see what else might fit. Or a cross reference guide.
The only drawback to the skidsteer implements is that the bucket is about 6"-8" farther out in front than the pin on would be. It gives you less strength in the bucket wrist action, and less lift overall. It also puts the weight you pick up farther out in front of the tractor than the same bucket in a pin on would.
The 66" bucket digs well, handles huge rocks with ease. Seems plenty tough. What I would have liked is a 66" heavy duty pin on. Problem is that it is not worth the asking prices to get one, especially since the bucket I have is doing fine.
