I was reading your post. If your loader can handle #2000, you should easily be able to handle a 7-8 ft snow bucket.
I use my 7 footer and my skid loader is rated around #1600.
Moreso than the width, the big advantage with the snow bucket is the height and depth, so if you have to doze the snow quite a ways, you might not want to go much wider than the tractor.
However wide your bucket is now, if it`s a lower profile dirt bucket, a snow bucket the same width will have alot more capacity. If you think your setup can handle a wider bucket then more power to ya..
I can see in your situation what you are having to deal with. Since your gonna use a loader and already have the universal hookup, I would think a bigger snow bucket would really speed things up for you. Hope this helps. BW
