It has a wide, smooth cutting edge intended for levelling, finishing, ditch cleaning and handling loose material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWill this bucket fit every 1–2 tonne excavator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. Machines within the same weight class can use different pin dimensions and hitch systems. The machine model, hitch type, pin diameter, pin centres and dipper gap must be checked before supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow wide is this grading bucket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe bucket is 900mm wide, equal to approximately 35.4 inches. It is commonly described as a 36-inch grading or ditching bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the bucket have teeth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. It uses a smooth HB400 cutting edge so the operator can leave a cleaner, more even finish than would normally be possible with a toothed digging bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan it be used for digging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIt can collect loose soil and complete light excavation or ditch-cleaning work, but it is not intended for aggressive digging in hard or compacted ground. Use a toothed digging bucket for those conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat information is needed to confirm fitment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eProvide the excavator make and model, operating weight, hitch type, pin diameter, pin centres and dipper gap.
