The chippers in particular are the ones that people complain about now they are limited to 26hp. I think they will make closer to 34hp when not restricted.

What size main digging bucket would the kx027-4 handle? would a 3 ft be too big for it ?

Personally think Id go for a 750mm as it's main bucket. I find it a good compromise of productivity and suitability on my TB125

I put a 2ft on my ec18c and it's definitely a bit greedy.
I know If I got a 3ft and 2ft 6 i could always use the 3ft in light going but I know greed would get the better of me and I'd end up going for the 3foot all the time !

I’ve a 600 on my cat off of a kx71- whatever
It’s on 30mm pins but is considerably larger than a 1.5 ton 600 bucket
And yes the greed always gets the better of me
I won’t mention the 1200 grader

Local hire place does a 900mm with their u27. You wouldn't use it to dig with but for loading dumpers it's great. Really it wants to be without teeth so you can tidy up nicely with it. It's an extra bucket though rather than the only bulk bucket. You still get 750mm and 600mm bulk buckets.
Also come with a much wider grader than usual. Think it's 1.2m. definitely noticably wider than what other companies send out.

Got a 3 ft digging bucket made by harford for my machine.it’s great for re handling but too much for the machine digging.ok in light going but too much in clay which I get continually really.half the problem is the huge teethfitted to these buckets..I fit all my tooth buckets with 1,5 ton type teeth which are half the height of the bigger ones with a longer taper and a million times better in my opinion.I normally replace em too after the tip has worn back a bit.I am a bit particular though
