Kioti backhoe bucket, flat edged scraper attachment KB-2485

Coyote machine · Sep 27, 2013

The pics below are from what I recently had fabricated by my local welder to attach to my 18" Kioti backhoe bucket. It is essentially a 'hoe bra' for use when one wants to have a flat edge INSTEAD of teeth to scrape ditches, smooth out areas one can't with the bucket when the teeth are uncovered. It attaches via one bolt hole on each side of the bucket. I have only primed it prior to paint application. It is a modded and improved version of a similar bra posted in another thread a while back.

CM - out.

That is pretty cool. I can see many uses for this. Shoot some pics of it working. I like pics.

Thanks! I will when I get to my hoe chores, hopefully sooner than later. I'm in the middle of clearing a bunch of trees and need my winch and grapple on right now.

Nice mod CM! Funny, this week I put in a 75' ditch along side our road. Now I want one! :laughing: Maybe there will be one under the tree this Xmas!

Yes, that is what I need to do to the quasi ditch at my flip house next door BEFORE the winter storms render it more useless than it is now!
Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for under a tree, so you can use it in the ditch.

Thanks! I like it - my welder is great! I tell him what I want and boom- DONE.

I have been thinking of doing something like this. Your idea is simpler than the one I had. I have been been looking for an excuse to fire up my TIG and get in some MUCH needed practice... thanks for the idea/excuse.

Great idea. Putting this on my to do list. I have been unbolting teeth when I have to. Your idea is much faster and I bet bucket will hold more.
Thanks
