I got my tractor with the smaller, 8" bucket and was thinking about adding a 12" to it so... if you have a 12" for sale or know where one is, give me a holler via PM

Sorry I cant help on the bucket but would like to know where and how you like your 8" bucket. I have a project and would like one, but I only have a 12". Thanks
It is nice for getting into a small area. All the BH energy is placed into two teeth and 2/3rds the space. So the only thing that stops it is massive roots that when gripped, can cause the tractor to be tossed about like a rag doll. It is good to make a hole as small as you might with a regular hand spade. But.... Three 8" scoops to two 12" scoops, it adds up.
I was quoted 12 inch bucket BK2931A $491.00, that is new at retail.
Ouch!
Being it is a heavy item, I imagine Colemans or Messicks, even if cheaper, I'd get crunched on shipping.
Anyone have a suggestion?

I have a 12" bucket on my BH and really wanted a clean up bucket, but the bucks were big. So took the teeth off and added a 3/16" steel plate 6" wide and 24" long, worked for all the projects that were on the go.....until it bent on a root or rock. So took it off and added a 3/8" blade 26" long and 6" wide bolted through the holes for the teeth. Works great for all kinds of digging needs.
Hope this helps.

Well, after a slew of emails and phone calls, I come to find none used and all the new ones, the same price. So, I've ordered from my local dealer.
