Is there a 12" backhoe bucket for the Bx25D and if so is it too much bucket for such a small tractor?

The BX25 has an 8 or 12" bucket size, general use the 12" is a good fit, there are many options for trenching from 3rd parties like BXpanded. I use the 12" and a thumb all the time.

Mine came with the 12" from the local dealer, never was told anything different.
Only problem I have experienced is try to dig into frozen ground. Then again it is not the fault of the bucket!
12" will be fine - like RBB said - there lots of other options if you need a smaller trench as aftermarket attachments.

Mine also came with the 12" from the local dealer. To be honest, I've been thinking about expanding it to 16" . The machine has enough power with the exception of ripping roots and large rocks.
I bought mine and requested the 8".
While it takes three scoops with the 8 to equal two 12's in a big hole (that can add up) it is also nice to be able to dig a deep and narrow hole too, that was my logic.
Power wise, I have no doubt the 12 is fine.
