I've had my BH92 for a couple of years now and it has an 18" bucket. I wanted to do some trenching for landscape ties and preformed concrete wall bricks from Home Depot and needed a narrower bucket. The smallest I could get is 12" which will work fine so I ordered it and picked it up. I just missed out on one on ebay for $450.00 and had to pay $650 at the dealer. Can't believe the prices. Then I thought about it and the cost of shipping the ebay bucket was $150 so when you add it all up it was almost a wash in price, still too high.

Looking at the holes for the pins, they are so rough I have to clean them up before I put the bucket on. I worked in a machine shop in my previous life and if I sent out parts that looked like that, I wouldn't have any customers.
