Rhinox Group

[Keif]

I am checking out the options for my TB216 and came across https://rhinox-group.us/collections/takeuchi-tb216 I can get their spring loaded coupler, a tilt ditching and a bunch of other buckets(with shipping factored in) with it for less than I can get "just" a tilt bucket here in VA. I'm not finding many reviews on this company though. It almost seems like too good a deal. I've talked to the guys there a couple times and they are friendly.

Anyone have experience with them?

Ive got a rhinox bucket. Very good and well made.

I don't know about rhinoxe in particular but all the machines I have used with spring loaded hitches have had the hitch wear very quickly and become horrible.
I have only used brand new machine with a wedgelock but it looked a whole lot better for wear

Wedgelock all the way. Mind you a tilt bucket must be insanely expensive your side of the pond!

Only dealings I’ve had with rhinox was when I bought a 24” bucket last year for my E10. It’s far too heavy for the machine, and after ringing and querying wether I’d been sent the correct one I’m still waiting their return call. Bucket is sat unused and bought another one from strickland.

There not bad buckets there 1.5t ditchers are a bit soft and get bent on self drive. But there digging buckets are fine and have a nice deep profile. The bucket hooks are handy for carrying buckets around too

The e10/dx10 can handle a proper bucket rather than the crappy micro buckets that the k008 and 8008 use.

big difference on the end with a 32kg Strickland to the 54kg rhinox though

100%. Would never go back. Quite like the Strickland micro buckets on my 1.7t under the tilt hitch also- much more delicate.

would be like putting a 2000kg bucket on the 'Drema ...... she handles an 850kg Akerman, full, at full reach on rubber, but is a tad noddy

Spring lock hitches are shite and won’t last.wedgelock is the only one to use as it’s always possible to keep buckets tight.think they are called prolock these days or mine is.rhinox make great buckets.ive got a set for my ecr25d and prefer then to the harford ones I also use.

Interesting, how the Rhinox steel thickness compares to the buckets I currently have, which are pretty darn heavy.

Big ol bucket(for this machine)

I think its built pretty tough for a 1.6t machine.?. I was worried because it looked alot heavier/deeper than the 36" buckets I saw people running online. It handles surprising well and can scoop and spin a full bucket no problem. Here you can see the pin to change buckets and the two link...

Strickland vs rhinox (both supposedly for a 1.2t machine)

 

[doobin]

Yeah, rhinox are just too lazy to develop a proper micro bucket.

The one on the left looks the same as the Rhinox bucket I have for my DX10

Yes my rhinox bucket is alot similar in profile to the smaller one. Its deffinatly smaller in profile when its the side of the geith 2ft bucket ive got.

Only one way to be sure- get the crane scales out!
