I am about to order my JD 790 with a model 70 loader and a 60" W.R. Long 4-N-1 bucket. The model 70 FEL lift capacity with the standard JD bucket is about 750lbs. The additional weight of the 4-N-1 bucket is approx 142lb, which the lowers the lift capacity to about 600lbs.
My question is will I be limited with only 600 lbs? How much does a bucket of dirt, or gravel, weight?
I am only a tractor hobbiest with minor needs but would like the capabilities of the 4-N-1 bucket. Any advise would be appreciated.

A yard of, run of the mill gravel weighs approximately 2800 lbs. If your manual tells you what size the bucket is in relation to a yard you should be able to GUESS-TA-MATE what you can carry. On the other hand, being able to carry 600lbs in the bucket really beats the wear and tare on the body.
