How to work out the bucket dimensions i need?

[James432]

Ive recently bought a Kubota u48 and want to buy some 2nd hand buckets, but its not been delivered yet. Ive been told i need 45mm pins and 150mm wide to fit between the quick coupler lugs. Does that sound right? Think i need to confirm the dipper gap, hes saying 150mm to fit between the coupler lugs so does that mean the coupler lugs are 160mm for example?

I’ve found this on a bucket manufacturers page if it helps?

I’d wait and see what condition the quick hitch is on your new mount before you order buckets. May be as well to buy a new hitch and set of buckets.

Thanks.

Does anyone know where i can get a parts/drawings PDF with part numbers for a Kubota U48?. Think its similar to the KX57 and U50 so those would be helpful too.
