Smaller BH Bucket

[MikefromMI]

Long time no see all. Over the past year I've over-dug a ton with the 16" bucket (trenching). Could someone tell me what a 9" runs in central Mi. Or better yet, what the dealer pays, Spencer...... I love driving my dealer nuts with that. Thanks All, Mike

Dealer says about 298 +- freight. Sound good, anyone?

From this link http://www.dot.state.mn.us/equipment/contracts/tr_cpt_utl/74a.pdf it looks like dealer cost is $239 for the 9" inch bucket on the 757C backhoe. I too would like to get that bucket for the times when I only want a narrow trench. I wonder how quick it is to change buckets? Looks like just a couple of bolts.

I would like to get a 9" bucket also for the 757C. Maybe we could do a group buy, not sure what the shipping cost would be.

I was just at I80/I77 the other day. Coulda dropped one off. But closest I ever get to N.Y. is Tonawanda. And that's Up Up Up state NY. Ha Ha Lets see what happens....

I work for SBC located in that area. I'll check with the two dealers in my area and see what's possible.

May have found a local trade for an extra rake I have. I have to see if it will fit this weekend.

I checked the price over the weekend for the 9" bucket. $244.00 plus about 9.00 UPS plus tax.
