Quicke/trima do a hd version of general purpose bucket only 30kg odd heavier I've no complaints about mine.
Alo 220H is the light duty one, 220HD is the more farm suitable one. They are made in china though, if that bothers you. Albutt and strimech (amongst others) make good buckets at only very slightly more cost, and they have a better range so could possibly get one more suited to your work.
Ive a Alo 220H which i bought before i realized they were chinese, and i had to weld a new wear edge on after not much more than a year, whereas my older slewtic bucket is still on the original edge, so id go for one of the British makes ideally. My telehandler came with a strimech bucket and its built like a brick sh*thouse, but it might not be a standard ag-spec one (just looked, its a heavy duty spec, weighs over 600kg)

Where are you from?
We already have a Quicke topgrip and it seems to be built really solid so if it's as good it'd do , our loadall has a slewtic one and that's really flexible

Telehandler and tractor buckets are completely different things, handler usually double the weight. Correct about alo buckets made in China which whilst not ideal most of the steel is from China anyway. One of the things with the hd alo buckets is a lot thicker cutting edge admittedly no good if its made of cheese but mine seems fine.
Just ordered a bucket and muckgrab from A toZ seemed like a better deal to me than lwc but only time will tell ,lead time quoted is less than half but we'll see when it gets here.
Both have ex slewtic men I believe

Don't buy the Quicke ones with the curved sides. They dribble stuff all over the place.

I bought a Fliegl a good few years ago. It was cheap and I like that it has a smooth inside and it is galvanized as my previous Stoll bucket rotted right through (it tends to be covered in muck).
We did manage to bend it doing something stupid but we also managed to bend it back and not had a problem since.
Would buy again
