Backhoe 18" bucket on BX24 backhoe?

it works excellent!!!! only issue is you have to curl the bucket then bring the furthest boom into the main boom.

Which oddly is, precisely what you have to do when your using a bucket that is too big for the conditions your digging in, and the machine your using.

this is true but the factory 12" bucket is idiot proof and you can curl the bucket with the boom and stick folded up

The bucket worked pretty good removing some 4" concrete approaches a few weeks ago. :thumbsup:

True, add in the extra stress per area, I woinder what will break...I do like the mod but will have to run the FEA to see if it will work for me...
YMMV

no breaks yet, even breaking up concrete with the thumb attached all is working well. only missing a few horspower and GPM on the hyd pump :laughing: time for a L48:thumbsup:

Well I just upgraded tractors, to get a 16in bucket, now I see, I have to go bigger or go home. In my case going home, would alow me to play more with my toys. Nice Job on the bucket. Good luck with that L48.
