Bucket for Kubota KX057/U55 with quick coupler

[oldafretired]

I have a 12" bucket and a 24" bucket for a U55 and want to get a 16" bucket that will work with the factory thumb. Kubota has a 18" bucket but the teeth aren't supposed to mesh with the tips of the thumb. The diagrams of the buckets by USA and Werk Brau for a mini ex of this weight show the buckets smaller than the Kubota buckets. Does anyone know of a company that makes a 16" bucket that is the same size as the Kubota bucket and will fit with the thumb? Thanks!

Werk brau will build you whatever you want. So will Tag Manufacturing. WB has a form that you’ll complete with tip radius, thumb info, etc. you’ll have to get an equipment dealership to order it for you. PM me for more info

Thanks for the info. I'll contact a WB dealer.
