Firstly, the wheels on the machine aren't original and are 12x16.5. They also seem to sit quite a way out from the body making the total width 1840 mm. I'm guessing this is wider than normal for this machine? Now the bucket that I have also is not original, and is going to need to be modified to get it to fit the quick attach but the bucket width is only 1670 mm. So my next question is how important is it that the bucket is at least as wide as the wheels if I want to use the machine partly for smoothing dirt? Since I have to modify the bucket to get it to fit anyway, I'm wondering whether to widen it at the same time but it will be a big job and don't particularly fancy doing it if I don't need to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
