I've been trying to find a narrow bucket for the 26G to lay in some 4" perforated pipe and conduit. I've found a couple, but they're not JD quick connect compatible. I don't mind having to buy an adapter to go from a quick connect to a pinned bucket (or whatever JD calls a bucket without a quick connect), if that'll make it fit.
Rhinox makes buckets to "fit all makes and models of machines", although their list doesn't include John Deere. BXPanded makes a pinned bucket for the JD 260, 260B, 270A, 270B, 370B backhoes, but obviously the pin pattern is wrong, and it would need an adapter.
I've probably spent 5 or 6 hours Googling this stuff. Maybe I'm missing the magic word, or I don't know enough about the compatibility of the 26G's quick connect system. I will say the JD literature on the topic appears to be non-existent. I've also seen the 110 TLB mentioned in references to the 26G / 27G / 35G quick connect, along with ZTS. There's a 9" ZTS bucket (if they're still available), but it's for the 17C. Not sure if that means it won't fit, or anything larger will rip it apart.
Anyone have any suggestions, recommendations, or knowledge of narrow trenching buckets for these machines?
Thanks!
