[yanmarb03]

I'm going to be looking for a full set up of buckets and a manual hitch for my tb215r what's the best out there I see alot of people seem to be having keen sets. I'm just looking for people's opinions

Also custom buckets for my smaller digger yanmar b03

Geith by my experience . I haven’t tried them all though . I really liked their bucket profiles on my old buckets but they may have changed design by now

Deffo a wedge type hitch- can’t beat tight buckets.

I'm only after buckets nothing special what problems did you have ?

I see loads of people reccomending keen so thought I would give them a try ?

 

[yanmarb03]

So I have prices off

Keen
Whites
Bmc
Strickland

Any other brands people would say its worth trying ?

 

[JD450A]

Personally pound for pound
Geith one visit coupler, which will be about £500

And a set of digbits buckets. Ring them as they might do a better deal on a set.

Had them on a few hire machines seemed okay bit worn but that's the nature of the beast also another sunny Sussex member here

The problem is they turn up from the factory worn out. I put a video on here a while back of a brand new 1.9t machine with a whites hitch and it already had a huge amount of play in it. I cannot see any advantage over a semi quick hitch at half the price
