Weight also buys plate thickness in the abrasion zones &#8211; the 346 kg P2100 wears longest on gravel, the 228 kg LLB1500 suits soft landscaping ground where every kilogram on the tyres costs traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a leveling bucket the same as a grading bucket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They rhyme but do not overlap: the SKP <a href=\"https:\/\/kaivoy.com\/es\/guides\/grading-bucket-vs-digging-bucket\/\">grading bucket<\/a> hangs on an excavator and finishes slopes from the dipper; the leveling bucket rides on a wheeled loader and finishes flat work at travel speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use it to load trucks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loose material, yes &#8211; the floor is a bucket floor.
