Does anybody (preferably in Canada) offer a larger size ditching bucket for the bx23s bh? Looking for atleast 18". Does a pin/bolt on mini ex (0.5-1.5t) bucket fit?

BT2416 is the offical Kubota bucket for the BX23S. Probably 6-700 Canucks though...
Friend made a 24" wide bucket for his miniex. Not really that hard to do, any 'fab shop' can make it,just needs your to get proper pin spacings.
I assume you're moving sand or other light material ?

A 'dead' hot water heater tank could be a great beginning ! Once the mounting plates to pin it to BH are welded , it could be tested full length, then cut down to width.Any 'backyard bodger' could make it up in an afternoon.
