8" backhoe bucket

[flyidaho]

WOODS brand as I recall, very well built, just like the big ones! I sold my old Kubota tractor with the Kubota hoe and the new tractor doesn't have one, and I don't plan on buying one so this has gotta go. IF you are digging water lines or for conduit, this narrow bucket is just the thing, and why I got it. Obviously you can trench faster with it then with a wider bucket, also back fill quicker. In excellent shape, like new really, I used it on a couple jobs that more then paid for it so what the heck.

$100.00 you pay shipping, and I'd ship it via Fastenal. Simko Crane Service
(Two Zero 8-7 One 6-040 Zero), I can send a picture if needed. I'm tired of tripping over it and I really don't like having something around I no longer have a use for!

Yeah, pics are important- I've probably looked at 75 backhoe buckets, and I don't think more than 3 or 4 of those mounted the same way.

I drug it out of the shed and took these pictures this morning, and it is indeed a Woods/Gannon bucket. I seem to remember reading here that the Woods brand is highly regarded. I googled around a bit and saw that Titan has them for $179.00, I thought they were worth more! Whether the Woods brand is "better" then the Titan, I'm not qualified to say, or whether is Chinese made or USA made, but I did notice my bucket is heavier built. It has a cutting edge of the sides, welded onto the bucket material, the Titan does not.

I'll pay ALL the shipping, west of the Mississippi, east of it I'll pay half, but I'm keeping the price at $100.00.

What tractor or hoe did you have it on? Pin size? Spacing?

flyidaho,
Your pictures are 4 times larger than they should be, they cause your post to get way to large to read.

Yeah I noticed that the pictures got real large, not sure why. But move them around and the entire picture can be seen a little at a time, real close up too!

My old tractor was a '96 B2105, this bucket is about 8 years old, "kept garaged." 1" pins (not included, I used the same pins that were on the bigger bucket, that sold with the tractor, who ever gets this could do the same), 7" O.C., and it's 4 1/4" inside, between the pin holes. In total I dug about 250' of trench with this bucket, on 3 different jobs, all for conduit and too rocky to use a trencher.

Thanks for the fix, and I have turned down my image size on my digital camera, though I did post on some other forums in the usual fashion without the image blowing up like it did here, one of those computer things I am clueless about.
