Was in my local dealer this morning and over in his scratch and dent pile was a 32" grading bucket that fit right on my backhoe, $50.00 later it was mine. My father was along for the ride and before I knew what was happening they loaded a walenstein b42 chipper as well, at a small additional cost. I have held off on a chipper for quite a few years because I have a 3" and it is a pain in the drain, I didn't think the 4" would be that much better but with the 4"x10" throat it handles brush much better and there is no comparison between it and the old 3" chipper. I now have a 3" chipper for sale. LOL

What is a backhoe grading bucket and what is it used for? pictures?

Wide bucket with no teeth used for smoothing out ditch banks and other areas you can't get to with other implements. Also good for light soils because they hold a lot more than digging buckets.

For grading with a BH.

You might call this a BH grading Blade

I actually have a steel version of that, it slips over 2 teeth on the bucket and hooks to a drain hole in the back of the bucket, the problem is that when there is much extra fill it tends to roll over the top of the blade and scooping and dumping it become ackward with the blade on. I would have never paid for a new grading bucket, but at $50.00 I figured why not?
