BX25 Bucket

[Hans1214]

Had a friend of mine make me up a 24" wide bucket for my BX25. Going to have it powder coated next week. Here is a picture of it next to the stock bucket. Will probably only use this in the sandy soil around here.

Make sure you put some extra ballast in the FEL's bucket when you use it.

Sweet. Looks like a grave digging bucket. Look out wife:

Looks great , are you going to put teeth on it like the stock one has ? Let us know how it works in sand . Been thinking about making one about that size and perhaps another one only about 5" wide and make a different thumb for mine . Almost like a shear . For cutting roots around larger tree stumps to make the root ball smaller and easier to handle .

Hey koja, it has the holes in it for five teeth if I need them. For digging in the sand around here I don't think I will need them but I have the three from my original bucket and three more from a brand new 12" bucket I found on ebay for a very good price. Will let you know how it works when I get the chance. Thanks!

He is a great friend Kenny, still not cheap though, lol.

Hey Koja, I finally got to use my 24" bucket on my BX25 this past week, it worked great on all the jobs I used it for. Put teeth on it for the harder material but the BX25 handled all of the digging without a problem. Hope this helps you. Martin

Ballest was not needed. It dug with no problems at all.
