Just curious, what would the reason be to skip the bucket?
I know of many who have done without it but had every need for one, from small farms like you mention, going back many years, to even my neighbor/dairy farmer, whom I recall, only had a 620 JD with a manure bucket for the longest time, yet he had much larger later model JD tractors.
