My 1000 loader came with the 28" manure tine bucket. Even with a tine cover it was pretty worthless.
I purchased a surplus 48" skidsteer bucket to replace it. I discovered that the lower mounting holes for the bucket were in the correct position for the 1000 loader, except they were too far apart.
To make it fit I had two options:
1. Cut off the left mounting brackets and re-weld them.
2. Section 10" out of the middle of the bucket.
In the end, I chose to section 10" out of the middle of the bucket because cutting off the mounting brackets was too messy and too much work.
Now I have a 38" bucket that covers the right-hand wheels of the tractor.
Frankly, due to the lack of down-pressure, the 1000 loader doesn't work well for plowing snow, at least on uneven surfaces. No down pressure means you can't keep the bucket from riding up over the snow. If you try to tilt the bucket forward, it submarines and digs up the ground underneath. A two-way lift cylinder would give the fine height control necessary for good pushing and digging performance.
I mostly use the loader to move bulky items and yard waste. Very rarely do I use it to dig, and then only in soft soil. It's not meant for heavy digging.
