Backhoe XJ2025 Backhoe buckets/attachments

[jdom84]

I am going to be doing some trenching between some trees to bury a bunch of sprinkler lines I currently have on the surface and my hoe came with the 12" bucket. Im only planning on digging down about 12" and would like to use something like a 6" bucket so im not having to move to much dirt.

Does anyone know where to buy attachments that fit these backhoes?

Have you checked the price for another bucket with your dealer?? they sell buckets down to 9 inches. I think anything that would dig 6 inches would be a waste of time as the space between the sides would only be about 5 or so inches inside and would be always jamming up with rocks and stuff. If you only want a 6 inch trench, I think you would be looking more at a trencher than a bucket.

I do have lots of rock that would cause issue. The soil is bentonite clay with sand and rocks. Years ago I used a subsoiler to pull a polly pipe but sense then I have planted many more trees and bushes and just keep tee'ing off the main line and leaving the pipe on the surface. This makes for a hard time when having to deal with the weeds. I can't get into the areas with trencher or subsoiler but was thinking the backhoe could reach into some of these tight areas with out killing the vegetation. I think a ripping tooth might actually be what I need. The ground is like concrete

Just order one from an LS dealer. New buckets are between $200-300.

I bought a ripper tooth from Brotek for my backhoe to run some direct burial cable. My backhoe is a New Holland 915GH which is the same machine as the Massey CB65........which should be the same machine as yours. Take a look at their website, they make a nice product and they are very easy to change out.

Heres a previous thread for comparison between the NH, MF backhoes. I assume the LS is the same since the New Holland and LS are the same tractor
