Backhoe aftermarket backhoe buckets

justcountry · Feb 12, 2009

I was thinking about getting a few different size buckets for my BH 90 hoe on my 3130. Has anyone ever checked out these guys at Replacement Buckets for Kubota Backhoes ? It seems like they make a good product and good prices. I live down here in Florida and most of the soil is sand, so they should do fine.

Took a quick look at your link. It looks like the teeth are not removable or easiely replaceble. I wonder what grade of steel they are made out of? Have you compared prices to Kubota? I haven't priced buckets, much, but not sure if there is alot of savings here?

they are about half the price, and half the quality...

theres a guy in Kansas that seems to have good backhoe bucket he is always on ebay. But would say I got a 18 and 12" from Kubota and I didn't think that there price was to bad and they fit my QA.

Keep it coming guys I have had an 18 kubota bucket for almost 6 yrs of heavy use and shows almost no wear. I think if these aftermarket ones start wearing teeth, I could figure out how to add new ones. What am I looking for as far as quality with buckets, because these ones look no different to me other than shiny black than my factorey one . That's why I am asking oppinoins here. If anyone can point me in the right direction other than my dealer, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the help

For the old Kubota backhoes you can use Woods buckets which maybe cheaper. Woods did OEM for awhile. Not now though, Kubota builds the buckets themsevles.

How long ago is old? I have a bh90, do you know where I could look for woods buckets to see if they'll fit.

There is no cross check chart or anything... and the geometry maybe specific to the Kubota hoe. Its a starting point, but there are no easy answers with this stuff.

Unfortunately, they don't list a bucket for the BX25, and I'm looking for a bucket bigger than the stock 12" bucket. Does anyone know anywehere else I can get, say, and 16" bucket?
