Just bought one for our 536/60
3.0 m3 which seems to be the perfect match.
Got a JCB bucket from Olivers £1600 seems well made.

We have a Murray 2.5 ton toetip and it suits well we think .

Strimech 2.2 cube pro ag. We use it for everything and seems a good match although could go slightly bigger if just Grain

We've a 2.5 cube on ours if only grain I'd go 3 it'll be fine ours is Irish made I can't remember the name just now they were making them for JCB 10yrs ago it's wearing edge is double the thickness of most others

I’ve got a Cherry products 2.26m3 one here for sale if your interested. Had it on a 531-70

I run a 2.5m on a 532-70 so you'll cope with a 3m no bother.

Not if you are moving stone,I would say it depends on what job you are doing ,loading artics would be very different to moving fym around the yard or soil and rubble

40mm thick wear edge slightly over exaggerated there i think 20mm and 25mm is the norm for telehandler buckets and 150mm or 200mm wide. seen some with 250mm wide but only on waste handling spec stuff no need for bigger on agri stuff too heavy.

8ft wide 2.6 cube Cherry Xform bucket would be about right for grain. there is a 3.1cube 8ft also but i doubt you would load quicker with it as it will be too near the max capacity of the machine so cycle times will be slower, certainly if your loading on any kind of rough ground.

Thank you for the offer but I think it’s a bit small for what I want.

As above, I've got a 3 cube bucket on a 536-60. Cherry products/ eastern attachments x form. Perfect match.

Thickest bucket edge I've seen yet 30mm

It's a 2009 and is on it's second edge and has shifted a serious amount of stuff in 10 yrs
Also pulls back up very near level for grain

Very impressed with the build quality of the X form buckets. I think ours is a 3.5 cube bucket on a 4 tonne Merlo but never brim fill it so we don't spill any grain when loading. I would go for a 3 cube for grain on a 536 better to have a good size bucket if you are loading light crops like oats or upgrade your loader to a bigger one.

I’ve a 3 on mine perfect 2.3 ton of wheat and 2.5 ton of beans works well
