New buckets

[pettsy]

After looking around for some used buckets for my E10, decided to push the button on a couple of new ones from Rhinox yesterday. These seem pretty heavy duty, I don’t think the ones I currently have are anywhere near as sturdy!

I think you'll wear out the digger before you need to replace those

Is that a 9" (215mm) bucket? I have similar but even larger teeth on it. for leverage when fighting with a root or lump of concrete, when trying not to unearth unknown services.
With the teeth removed it's a because every bucket of clay blocks it solid.

It’s actually a 6”, thought it might be handy in tight spaces (other one is 24” so I can dig my foundations for house extension)

My DX10Z came with Rhinox buckets, as you say seem very well made. Also have a good capacity.

I got a 2ft6 digging bucket which is rhinox and must say it is alot better than the rest of what ive got.

What’s the biggest one of theirs you have? This 24” weighs 54kg should I be worried?

I wouldnt worry too much my e10s handle 1.5t buckets without issue. Its just a case of knowing your limits or should i say what liberties you can take.

 

[Regy53]

I am thinking it’s a 18’ with a bolt on blade

 

[pettsy]

Fair enough, it just makes the others look a bit lightweight

Vs 30” supplied with machine

24” digging bucket and 30” grading bucket. Which is wider than the machine with tracks in I don’t think mine is as heavy as that though, maybe 40kg at a push.

Would you mind checking your 24 for me? Model/weight if poss.

When I called round for micro buckets, everyone except Strickland seemed to be bloody heavy. Mine handles 1.5t buckets OK, but I'm getting a lighter set. Depth is also an issue- the micro shell is a little shallower which must help loadover height.

I rang them this afternoon just to double check i’d been sent the right ones. They don’t make a lighter micro-weight bucket so they’re the same as 1.5t

That's why I'm going with a company who will!

regards rhinox I also had a bucket from them and it’s quality and if they think it’s the right weight there’s no reason they wouldn’t sell them

I don’t have anything to weigh it with but it’s a fair lump, 40kg max I reckon. Got some pics though.
