Bucket for Kubota B/L 4530B backhoe

[brucew6char]

Hi,

I've got an older backhoe, probably new around 1986, Kubota B/L 4530B 7 1/2 foot with a 16 inch bucket. I've got a lot of trenching to do and considering getting a 10 inch bucket. Will buckets from a newer backhoe work. Thanks.

I asked Kubota if a bucket from their newer backhoes might fit and they replied back to contact "Woods". Guess Kubota got their backhoes from Woods back then.

Bruce:

I have the same backhoe and it was made by Woods for Kubota. You can get replacement parts from Woods much more cheaply than from Kubota and it is the same part. You should be able to get a 10" bucket to fit from a Woods dealer or ebay.
