This guide, representing bucket sizes not necessarily manufactured by Deere, will help you in selecting proper bucket size for material density, loader configuration, and operating conditions.
Optimum bucket size is determined after adding or subtracting all tipping load changes due to optional equipment. The “conservative load” line on this guide is recommended when operating
in conditions such as soft ground and unlevel surfaces. The “maximum load” condition on this guide is sometimes utilized when operating on firm ground and level surfaces.
