Bigger grain bucket

[cotswoldcs]

Thanks @puma power. I guess the 320S will cope with a little more than your 310.

What would people go with on a jcb 531/70? Thinking of upgrading

We run a 2t capacity bucket on our 541-70. I was advised against going bigger and I think that was right.

I was referring to cubic m.

I know, I was making the point that we have a 4 tonne telehandler and a 2 tonne capacity bucket and it is about right. There will always be some one who maxes out everything and thinks he's cleverer than you. Its nice to be able to reach over sweepings with wet wheels and still grab a full bucket from the heap, for example, or not have to creep about on a slope for fear of tipping over.
My 2t of wheat bucket would be approx. 90cu ft or 2.6cu m. I'll go and look at it and report back.

I have a 2.5 cubic m on a 741 manitou just about right I would say you don’t need the boom out very far before it starts getting daylight under the back wheels.

Issue 26-2 featured a harvest trailer with a Claas Scorpion in front loaded with a double section grain dozer, these two grain buckets, weigh scales, sampling equipment - all the kit needed in the barn moved in one go. Pic shows the guy who made it!

I'd be very grateful for pics of home made kit for the next issue. Being locked in is no good for a roving reporter. [email protected] or 07778877514 are the easiest contacts.

Isn’t a 3cx a 1 tonne lift capacity? In which case I’d think an Albutt 2m^3 would be too much bucket for the machine.
