GP bucket size on 843?

Looks like I'm purchasing a Bobcat 843 without a bucket. What would be the correct general purpose bucket size for that machine? Historical specs show machine width 62.4" but no info on the bucket.

I bought a 843 about 6 months ago that had a very small bucket on it. Delaer recommended a 68" low profile bucket which is what I put on it. Sized about right. Now just need to fix up the other issues on the machine.

Yeah, I think 68" will be just about the right size. The lower profile bucket probably also helps the operator see the cutting edge too.
