Hello,
I just ordered a Liberty backhoe attachment for my tractor (haven't got it yet) and it comes standard with a 12" bucket. Then they also give you your choice of another bucket and I chose the 16" wide bucket. I guess we'll see how they work when I get it !!! Good luck !!!!

16" is about the minimum if you want to be able to get down in the trench ....

I have a 16" and a 12" for our Kubota B2910 ....

I have the 448(predecessor to the 485) and 3320, 18" is what you want for general dirt work. I also have a 36" bucket that I use for grading. Your tlb will have no issues with either bucket.

I have a 16" on my 447, you should be good with the 18".
