back hoe bucket size

[unibody madness]

I have a 22s with a max26b hoe on it that came with a 12" bucket, is there an 8" bucket that will fit?

I have an 8" bucket that the previous owner of my B26 cut down from an 18". My 12" is just about all that it will handle. The 8" is good for trenching as long as the ground is really dry. If a bit wet, the soil compacts in the 8" and is really hard to get out. I think a 10" bucket would be better for trenching than an 8".

I don’t know why you’d want one. A 12” is bad enough about getting clogged up.

I agree.

What if you have the 12 can you go up a size ? Will the backhoe be able to move more dirt and a bigger bucket ? Will that add to mich stress to backhoe hydros?

Why wouldn't this work?
8" Backhoe Bucket
Aren't bucket attachment points standardized?

No they’re not.
