[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 128646, member: 13825"] OK the spec's on your machine are as follows, so, you can use any sized bucket, but you need to subtract weight of bucket from lift capacity, heavier the bucket the less material you can put in the bucket so if you have a 40 inch bucket that weights 200 lbs you can put 300 or so LBS of material in it, , if the 48 inch bucket weights 300 lbs maybe an(extreme example) you have a 100 lbs of less material it can lift based on OEM spec's! think of things like this, you can use a 48 inch bucket and fill it fully if your lifting/loading LIGHT material that doesn't surpass lift spec;'s same with smaller bucket, you can lift what the machine is rated for and YES well ALL go past OEM spects at times, but repeated lifting is PAST spec's is where issues stsrat to show up and or damage to machine or worse an operator! the wider the bucket, the more side hill unsuitability will be when lifting as well [LIST] [*][B]Manufacturer:[/B] Bobcat [*][B]Model:[/B] 371 [*][B]Type:[/B] Skid Steer Loader [*][B]Years manufactured:[/B] 1971 – 1977 [*][B]Engine power:[/B] 14.0 hp – 10.4 kW [*][B]Rated operating capacity:[/B] 500 lb – 227 kg [*][B]Bucket width:[/B] 36 inches – 91.0 cm [*][B]Bucket capacity:[/B] Depends upon size of bucket attached to loader [/LIST] and a link to this and more info for you on it [URL unfurl="true"]https://wrenchiq.com/bobcat-371-specs/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
