2 or 3ft wide Bucket for 400 / 500 JD FEL

Does anybody make one of these ?

I've seen ripping buckets for Skid Steers.

I'm wanting to dig a drainage ditch between my Two barns.

My 6,7 & 8ft buckets are too Wide :-(

The only standard bucket that comes to mind is one for a Terex PT30, but it's 48" wide. What about renting a stump bucket for the day?

If you have 1.5 times your tractor width available between the barns, I'd use a box blade or angle blade. Make an extra deep cut with the first pass and then hit the other side using the fluffed dirt to form the swale. The second cut will move the actual location of the swale back to the other side. Then roll it in to compact.

I went to JD dealer today & seen a BW14144 48" bucket that fits 200/300 & 400 loaders.

can't use a box blade?

Ditch needs to be 2-3ft deep & narrower than tractor width.

It's filled in with topsoil thru the years so its fairly soft dirt.
