Which bucket is suitable for my mini excavator?

Measuring the bucket (bucket sizes)

To find the right replacement bucket for your mini excavator, take three measurements from your existing bucket: pin diameter, dipper gap, and pin centres.

Measuring the Pin diameter

Remove the pins from your bucket and measure the width of each pin.

Measuring the Dipper Gap

The dipper gap is the internal diameter between the bucket hangers, where the main arm of the digger connects with the bucket link. Measure the smallest internal size, usually found between the bosses of the bucket.

Measuring the Pin Centres

Pin centres are measured as the distance between the two bucket pins from centre to centre.

Selecting the correct bucket size

The bucket size you need depends on the size of your mini excavator. Some sizes are specific to grading buckets, so do not use other bucket types with those dimensions.

Refer to this chart to determine which bucket size is compatible with the weight of your mini excavator:
