Purchased a 7TB backhoe for my CT225 tractor from a gentleman on TractorByNet. The backhoe was originally made by Rhino who has since discontinued bucket manufacturing. The backhoe came with an 18" bucket and I wanted a 12" and possibly a 24" bucket.
I have been searching everywhere and even contacted a company in Iowa that could manufacture a bucket for me (quite expensive).
I was going to be traveling by a large Kioti/LS dealer and decided to stop in with my bucket and do some comparing to the buckets they had in stock. Found out that the large pin Kioti bucket and large pin LS bucket are made by the same manufacturer and fit my backhoe almost perfectly. I have attached a few photos and a PDF that shows the only difference.
The pin diameter is the same and the width of the stick is the same - the distance between the pins is about 3/4" different.
Hope this helps someone.
