Was wondering if the kodiak 450 would be able to handle the swisher dump bucket. Has anyone used one if so how well does it work?

Thanks for any info.

 

I bought one of those swisher dump buckets for my JD lawn tractor. I had to adapt it, of course, but it does work here in the Florida sand. The Yamaha is probably a little bit tougher than my tractor, so I expect it would work. But it is not great. A real machine has much more strength than this bucket. This is not exactly the best setup bucket. I think it is too big for itself, considering the material it is made out of.

The problem I have is that the tractor does not have enough weight to push the bucket into a load of sand. So I have to drive and lift at the same time to get a load.
