Have a BX 23 and want to add a small finish scraper blade to the BH bucket. Saw a pic somewhere of one that used short chains and turnbuckles to attach it. Bucket teeth slipped into a V shaped pocket. Anyone know where to find the pics or any measurements for this sort of implement?...:confused:

I believe the company is Hall's. I had one made for my backhoe. My welder welded some pockets on a used cutting edge. The pockets slide over the teeth and I drilled holes in bucket for chain to be bolted to. I unbolt it when I don't need it. plowking

I made one for a little woods BH I had. Sorry it was a long time ago, (no pics.) but I just took whatever I had around that was wide enough, I think that it was a pc. of 8" channnel, placed under the bucket so that it was at about the same angle as the bucket bottom and teeth, and cut sections out of a pc. of pipe to go over each tooth and welded them to the channel to enclose each tooth. I had already welded a grab hook on the upper back of the bucket so I ran a chain welded on the back of the channel to it. I made a little set up that I don't think that I can explain here, but it allowed me to first hook the chain into the hook, then slide a link of the chain over a little tab with a small hole in it on the back of the channel and then put a regular spring lynch pin thru that hole holding the chain in place with no other tightening needed (turnbuckles or binders) It was very easy to slip on and off. With a little practice positioning the tractor and using the outriggers you could grade odd shaped areas nicely. (outriggers to angle the scraper by tilting the tractor) If I remember, I put a small angle iron on the bottom of the channel to act as the cutting edge. If I had the knowhow I'd draw a sketch and post it for you, it's all I can do to post a picture!

I never thought about doing that. Just tonight I was leveling off a little patch and I just rolled the bucket up and used the bottom. What would you use for length, I'm thinking a 3-4' length?

I've this step covered:laughing: The rest is pretty easy to visualize. Also brother with the "right stuff" and a welder has fabricated some handy gadgets around his home and buisness.

I only made it at most 24" wide. With the short reach of a tractor BH that's all you need plus it will allow more detailed "carving". Now if I were making a rake for grubbing out roots/weeds or raking rocks out, 3-4 ft. might be in order if the hoe has the power for something that wide.
