Somerville, Indiana
The 'depth' of the floor makes a difference in capacity, slope of the roof and sides make a difference in dumping ability...6 feet wide is nice loading trucks from the back without spilling on the road...Hooking the side back some helps dumping clear with the bucket..

When using a loader bucket, need to strengthen the back of the bucket (top too maybe)...Careful not to get it too awfully heavy as a bucket coupler already adds a lot of weight...Not having a bucket coupler is almost like welding the hitch pin in a farm disc..

Usually better off getting an excavator bucket and add the correct hooks, remember it will be used for a long time, even after trading excavators in the future...A good bucket makes a big difference in time saved on a job..

Finally, an over size grader blade is very useful for the cutting edge along with replaceable bolt on edge...Like an inch thick and 10 inches wide (high grade steel), with a narrower bolt on edge..
