Looking for backhoe bucket for GC2310

[Eagletree]

I have a GC2310 TLB. I'm looking for the smallest backhoe bucket I can buy. The dealer wants $500 for a 10" bucket. I know I can find one cheaper but don't know where.... Does anyone know where I can purchase one?

Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Smaller than a 12" is often hard to empty if you have sticky clay soil.

I have a 6" that requires tedious unpacking by hand with a shovel, unless the soil is very dry.

Last time I checked, nothing smaller than a 10" is available for a 2310 unless you have it fabricated.

Whats wrong with the bucket u got?

I have a 12" now but its too big for 2" conduit or 4" drain pipe. Would like an 8" bucket.

If you want a narrow trench, rent a trencher, you will be much better off.

I've used my 10'' bucket to install lots of 1 to 6 inch pipe , culvert & conduit .
Works fine .
I don't think a 12 '' bucket would make all that much difference.
There is no way I'd ever even consider trying to use an 8 inch bucket.
38 years ago I had 270 feet of ditch dug with a 16'' bucket on a BH .
The 16 '' ditches wasn't to big for the 1 inch gas and water lines i installed in them .
I also installed 4 inch sewer and drain lines in other trinches dug by a 16'' bucket with no problem.
Forget getting another bucket.
Use the 12 incher you have and just be done with it.
I think yer makin much ta do about nothin.
