Backhoe Buckets not available ???

KEROSENEDRVR · Apr 20, 2005

I understand that...I still think Kioti could hedge their supplies more effectively in light of the currently high demand...
Any other dealers out their have 2385 buckets in stock, 9-12 inches???

New Holland 758C or Rhino 85 buckets should be the same. Might be worth checking.

Not anymore. Kioti BH's are now made in South Korea, they are no longer being made by Rhino.

Sorry, I didn't know that. Do you know which model Kioti backhoe was equivalent to the 758C and Rhino 85?

The KB2085 was the same as the Rhino 85.

Jon,
They seem to still fit. I have a Rhino 85 backhoe and I recently got a 36" bucket for a Kioti KB 2385 hoe.
Perfect fit on my Rhino hoe...

really!? hrmm... I will have to check into that. We just had a KB2375 Backhoe and it didn't look like it would fit on the Rhino 75, but then again I did't try.... That is good news that they will fit. Thanks for the heads up!

Is there anybody out there with a 9-12 inch bucket available for purchase (KB2385) ??? I'll pay the freight. I still can't find one and am desperate...

Is it just the smaller buckets not availible at this time or all buckets ???
I recommend the 18" bucket for the 2385 hoe.
I recently ordered a 36" Kioti 2385 bucket and had no problem getting one.
I hope you get the bucket issue straightened out real soon.

It's my understanding that the larger buckets are available (18 & 36). My issue with needing a 9-12 inch bucket is that I am installing lawn sprinklers and don't want to dig an 18 inch trench for a 1 inch pipe. Not to mention that I've already got a bounty crop of rocks subsurface, the less I have to haul out the better.
