E10 tilt bucket.

Been looking at them for a couple years. Most of the E10 work is digging 6inch trench or scraping out oil tank bases level then levelling out 803. I tend to use grader for this. Tilt would help. This hardlife scandi tilt bucket is local so might take a look. Not sure on width.. 500-600mm at a guess. Wondering if narrower width would be better for digging and better for barrow loading. Other option seems to be Rhinox tilt grader. Huge variation on price. What's opinions?

That price for the Geith is ridiculous- I'd phone them up direct and see- sure it would be half that. Geith is good stuff, but plenty of others the JB equipment stuff seems decent enough at the lower price end.... Rhinox ok but they are very generic- will sell what's on the shelf, if you want something a bit more bespoke/certain width BMC buckets were decent buckets when I last had some and make alot to order

Is it not worth a tilt hitch ?

After looking at @doobins …. I think it would be in the way for trenching and badly affect dump over height when loading and I use the breaker quite often so would have to hang off the quick hitch. Often will switch between breaker and bucket several times in a day.

What an about the hard life scandi bucket on market place? It’s the right pins for E10 I think and local. Hard life suggest it’s 1000mm on their website but looks narrower than that in image.

A contractor I know nearby runs a engcon and a tilt hitch on separate machines. He says he takes the engcon off for breaker work but will run one under a tilt hitch. Not sure if this is what the manufacturer recommends but he's been doing it for years without issues. I loved my tilt hitch for the right jobs, especially with the grading bucket flipping it upright to pour stuff in a tight spot/small dumper etc, I'd have thought for doing tank bases it would be a good tool for you. But do understand the frustration of taking it off alot- the reason I sold mine really as was in a semi hitch it didn't go well with attachments I was running.

It is tapered so 1000mm will be the cutting edge. Narrower at the back of the bucket. It's 110kg- not sure what that will be like if full on a micro. But still handy scratching around levels etc.

He’s got big feet if that’s 1000mm. Trying to guage against the block paving.

Do you really need it? I’ve got tilts for my 1.5 ton and 5 ton and very rarely use them can with blade on machine alter base angle enough to do near everything I need too.

Their heavy can’t be man handled like normal buckets and heavy on machine, using foot pedal to control them is inaccurate and faff least the 5 on joysticks.

They’re not robust to throw in dumper etc have to watch hoses etc

Certainly wouldn’t want one on e10,dx10 with such low load height as it

I've got one I bought off @DaveDCB. It never gets used as Giles says. On the 1.5t it's very heavy and that's direct mount. Would be alot worse with quick hitch on. I may try it on 2.7t digger

I've got a cat 1000mm tilting ditcher and I find it's a better profile than those of most. Not too big nor bulky.

It fits my e10 but I've not had it on. I've used it on the dx19 and it handles it fine. But I recon it's 5 years it's sat in the yard since I last used it. Definitely something that I don't use on my jobs/type of work but I tried it and it's there if I need it.
