Grain bucket

[jd137]

Going to buy a new telehandler grain bucket. Is 1.6 cm3 level a sensible size for loading wheat with a 2.5 t telehandler ? Looking at an Evans & Reid , look good value for money, good or bad idea ? Only loading hundreds not thousands of tonnes a year!

We have a 2.25 m3 on a tr250 which is 2.5 ton machine and that is a good fit but plenty big enough we also have a 1.6 and that is well man of it but can still load a lorry in fair time. We have a 2.9 for a bigger machine and while it copes it’s far from ideal. We have all cherry buckets and rate them highly one is an xform made for cherry and I prefer their own made buckets. Don’t worry about the price the money will be safer in a bucket being used for hundreds on tons of grain than in the bank probably earn more interest

I would buy a 2.0cu/m capacity bucket as a compromise, big enough for future proofing,and you wont have to cram it all the time!
