Bespoke Buckets

[Kevdb880]

Anyone know where I can get a bucket made for my tractor mounted McConnel digger?
I’m looking for a light 3ft ditching bucket, I’ve always gone to Evans & Reid and they have been very helpful but I spoke to them last week and I’ve not had any response from them, I also tried BMC but heard nothing from them!
Unfortunately no other make of digger bucket fits as the pins and stick are of an odd size compared to mainstream machines.
I have a metre wide bucket which is made out of 10mm metal which is way too heavy so I would like a 3ft with drainage holes made out of thinner metal if possible?
The original McConnel buckets were made out what looked like tin and were too lightweight so I want something in between that and what I have.

Cheers

If you give this lot a ring and ask for Rod, he should be able to help you out http://www.anross.co.uk/?LMCL=De1IfT

I've dealt with Robert at BMC and always been very helpful with custom stuff. Maybe ping him another email incase the first went to spam or he was on leave.

I've dealt with both Rob and Chris and have been equally responsive ... even had Chris ring me one day out the blue offering me a lathe they were getting rid of .... sadly not suitable

It’s arrived! 800mm Ditching/grading bucket, bought it from Evans and Reid. Price wise both Evans and Reid and BMC were pretty much the same everyone else was a lot lot more expensive.

are those pins far enough away from the bucket back ?

Two position for steeper angle close in I'd say.

as long as it's pinned on ... no good for a hitch

 

[Kevdb880]

Um, other buckets I have have three holes which is good for digging a square hole but don’t really need three holes on a Ditching bucket!
