I have a 448 backhoe which came with an 18" bucket. I plan on doing some trenching and would like to get a much narrower bucket (9" or so) but the smallest JD seems to offer is 12". The 447 has a 9" and I wondered if anyone knows if they are interchangeable? Or better yet are buckets universal in which case I could go wtih an off brand bucket? If so any suggestions on who/where to purchase one?

Thanks all,
Brad

Boy, am I going to be watching this thread closely. I have a 48 hoe and have not been able to find a trenching bucket for it, either.

Seems odd they make one for the junior hoes (47 447) but not the bigger ones.

I think if they would fit, it would be in the specs.

448 boom is wider than the 447. The smallest will be the 12". I have enough problems getting dirt out of the 12", I wouldn't want to go any smaller. So far I have not found any non-JD buckets that will fit. I suspect that it's off to the dealer.

I too am in this delima but with another brand hoe. Call Randy Lackener at 800-498-8032 of Iowa City, Ia who custom fabricate buckets and shipped to CA for $475. He'll need the measurements of your existing pin location on your bucket. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to order mine to give you a report on the quality of his buckets. If anyone does order one from Randy, please post a report.
