I've got a Volvo ec60e 6ton mini excavator that came new with a werk-brau 2 ft heavy duty bucket. Like pretty much everything about it except it won't come anywhere close to the 9'6" vertical wall dig depth that the specs claim it will. Talked directly to werk Brau about it, they said it is the correct bucket made to the exact OEM specs as the Volvo bucket. I do have the hyd pin grab quick coupler but don't believe it is effecting the vertical dig depth in a negative way much. It needs to have about 15 degrees more out swing to be correct and give me the rated 9'6" vwdd. (Pin holes on bucket need to be angled down more). So far I haven't found a OEM Volvo bucket to actually compare pin hole to bucket floor angle with. It might do 2' vwdd the way it is, not even close to what it is suppose to. Anybody run into this with your excavators? Thanks in advance .
