Bucket suppliers

Just incase it wasn’t confirmed, rhinox buckets suck!

I'm not quite sure I understand....could you reiterate

Again bmc are top banana. I also can't fault their product or service

But what everyone had failed to mention is that rhinox supply there buckets with a bag of Haribo. That's got to be worth something hasn't it?

To go against the flow a bit, when I bought my WN didn't want rhinox buckets, strickland where the other option from the dealer but couldn't supply for months (covid).
He said the last S type buckets he had appeared if they had come from a engineering/fab firm some where but not rhinox themselves, mine appear the same, with some slight differences to other rhinox buckets I`ve seen, so far I`ve not had reason to fault them compared to some others buckets I`ve bought.

Nice but is it not a pain in the arse getting the bolts on and off by the time they/threads worn etc?

Just drop the Stihl saw(or other proven cutting method) through the nut and off it pops

Yeah I get cutting them off if needed but reckon the faffing around with that be easier to just have a set of tooth buckets and set of flat edge .

That's my reasoning for having certain sized buckets in both.

Mine have been okay on micro to be fair. Teeth bend a bit but it’s not often I’m doing anything more than looking for pipes so probably gentle compared to most

Says the man with more buckets and attachments than the rest of the forum combined!

He's got catching up to do. I'm beating him ATM.

Yeah maybe. But to have all the gear tilties, hydraulic hitches etc but then have to cut bolts of when you need a bladed bucket for the sake of a £1k for a set of buckets seems a little counterintuitive

I bought a Rhinox 150mm and 600mm when I got my e10 and wish I’d gone elsewhere. The 600 was far too heavy and got sold straight on. The 150mm is also far too heavy build for what it is and not nice to use.

This tooth and smooth no messing around

I did this on my 3cx.. ended up with 18 buckets for one machine!

Now I just have cat tip tooth buckets with a plate made up for each one, knock the pins out and swap between teeth/blade. Rarely get changed as small buckets stay with blade on anyway!

I agree with this, I usually take a Toothed bucket for hard digging and a bucket with a weld on edge for digging out clay. A bolt on edge just creates an area for the bucket to start sticking up.

No, 3/4 Milwaukee impact gun takes care of them. Very occasionally you might have to heat or cut one.

If you’re going to a job blind I far prefer to carry spare teeth and bolts plus impact gum, as opposed to a whole second set of buckets.

95% of the time a flat edge is best for me- but when you need teeth you need teeth.

Yeah I had that setup cat teeth with a blade welded on but never put teeth on, with tilty I just have ripper and give it a scratch if needed, not a lot of bony trenching here.

Don't often use 600mm digging tbh

Dug this yesterday with scandi and ripper to tease a couple of stones out with.
