Bucket for 758C Back Hoe

[shaley]

My gannon buckets (woods) do not have this power position. Is it new?

Dave, I don't think it's new, mine is a year 2000. Maybe they only offered that on the 9000/X90 model.

Mine is a 7500 so you are probably correct. Nice feature.
Small buckets have their limits but they also have their strengths also.
I agree that a 12" bucket is the most useful; but I use my 8" for stump digging.

My 16" bucket does the job but I was thinking that a smaller one would concentrate more force to cut the roots quicker.

Does anyone know of a source other than the DH dealer that I could check into for a smaller bucket?

Watch ebay for one. Ask dealers if they hae any used ones around.

After seeing the thread on making one in the projects section I just might try that.

u could make two different sizes for the price of one from the dealer
