Kubota U25 Mini Bucket Question

[flienlow]

I just bought my first Mini excavator which is a u25 Kubota. I am new to Mini and dont know much about them in general. My hoe (purchased used) came with 2 digging bucket. In the past I have seen adapters on other machines that convert a digging bucket into a smooth or clean out type. What are those called and where can one purchase?
I am not sure if I just need to buy a clean out bucket, or if I can just buy these bars that go over the teeth?

Any advice?

Thank you.

You could weld some flat stock over the teeth. I've seen some do that. Buckets are fairly cheap new, take a look on ebay. There is also a company called AIM Attachments (do a google) if you deal with them direct (call them) you can often get a better deal. They gave me a good price on a 18" bucket for my U35.

That is what I needed up doing. I had a piece of 1/2" welded to the 2 outer teeth. That way I can pop the pins and remove it. They made it about 3" wider than the bucket and it works pretty darn good. I will check out AIM Attachments- thanks.

BTW- how do the teeth come off? do you Pound the pins up or down?
