BH 92 Backhoe attachment

Does anyone have know anything about the Kubota BH92 backhoe? I am getting ready to get one and was wondering if it has the power to use a bucket wider than 12" or 16". Any info would be most appreciated.

I have the BH92 on my Kubota and just finished my first large project with it, about 14 total hours of trenching. I have the 18" bucket and chose it because I was also worried the machine wouldn't have the power to run the 24". After using it I'm pretty sure the 24" bucket would be fine, but for my use the 18" gives a wide enough trench that I am no longer considering adding a larger bucket. I dug the same depth trench about 50' away from this one two years ago with a rented Kubota mini X and the mini X was a little faster since I didn't have to move to move the machine, but as far as digging power they are very similar and the BH92 might even have the edge in power.

Thank you for the info. I'm going with the 16". I think that will best fit my needs, but was a little concerned about the power of the backhoe. Since this is an attachment and not a comerical backhoe. Thanks again.

I have an 18" on mine, wouldn't want anything much smaller. I guess it depends on the type of digging you need to do, it definitely wlll handle 18" easy.
