difference in load, it doesn't seem like a big deal unless I was trying to lift big boulders. difference in bucket weight and only 1 cu.ft. for the pin on bucket for the 723 loader. The 72' square back is 290lbs and 8.8 and 10.9 cu ft heaped. I was to quick the first time let me get my spec's back out but I wouldn't worry as long as you know and respect the difference! the 66' bucket weighs in at 265 for the square back or 286 for the round back by the book and struck is 8.1 and 9.9cu.ft heaped. the larger bucket straining the 513 more so it wears out faster or is that pretty much negligible?. lifting a full bucket of the same material with the two different buckets. Does the extra weight of the larger bucket stress the loader more for the same job. It only amounts to one cubic foot of capacity!. For the stone just don't try to get a really full bucket any you will do fine. For the loose stuff like mulch you'll like the larger bucket.

WE swap buckets all the time depending on the jobs. So I was just wondering whether I should move up to the LA723 or get the 66' bucket for the LA513. But the dealer shipped it with the 72' bucket which is spec'd for the LA723.

The specs only call for a 66' bucket on that loader. My first thoughts would be to ask what are you putting in it? Kubota for the most part has been bullet proof on their buckets with no problems of them being ripped up and the tractors normally seem to be able to handle them well when full. Can the Kubota LA513 loader handle the L2263 72' bucket designed for the LA723? Or is it too much bucket for that loader?
