Hi everybody I'm after a bit of advice on the purchase of a couple of new buckets for my bobcat e10.I need a 760mm ditching bucket and a 600mm digging bucket,I've previously bought a rhinox 450mm bucket which was cheap enough but it seems a bit soft. The machine was supplied with a 915mm ditcher and a 600mm bucket off a bigger machine,I think they fit up to an e19? So the bloody things give me a hernia everytime I have to move them!🤣 TIA let the discussion begin!

Bmc sorted me out for my e10. Proper size for the micro and very well made especially compared to the whites buckets that came with it.

I've no issues with Harford but couldn't tell you price as they came with digger.

Strickland did a nice set for me.

I'm amazed you've managed to bend a bucket tooth, even a cheap one, with an E10!

Most important thing is weight- as you know from your larger ones, a heavier bucket is cumbersome and a pain on such a small machine.

Strickland 600mm on left that replaced the stupidly heavy rhinox 600mm on right. Both specced for my E10 🙄

Surprising that rhinox bent. I have a set for my 1.8t- seem decent enough buckets. The grading bucket is 4 years old and has worn very well especially seeing it spent a couple years under a tilt hitch.

Hmmm the only bit specced for the e10 is pins at the top you could argue bucket size is up to you to decide. To be fair they should advise and know which you'd need
The Strickland are a micro shell- thinner plate and less depth. The rhinox in the pic is a 1.5t shell- much deeper and heavier and shouldn’t be sold as suitable for a micro, yet it is and even specced by dealers because it’s cheap.

Yeah so they are either micro buckets or they are not. It's possible rhinox don't make anything smaller but didn't want to miss out on selling some buckets

Same pin dimensions right up to the E20

Yeah I was suprised too but my ham-fisted farmer mate had it for a weekend,so I shouldn't have been! As a wise man once said he'd f##k an iron bar up!😆

My E10z came with a 760 grader, 600 toothed bucket and 300 tooth bucket all rhinox with rhinox QH. I had asked for 150mm bucket but didn’t get it so bought 150mm bladed bucket and a 760mm x 75mm dig deep bucket from rhinox and they have been great for our work. Bent the teeth on the 300mm bucket fairly easily, but not hard to Sort out. Bloody blade extensions bend pretty easy as well :-/
