I would give them a THUMBS up - bought several things from them. Only problem I ever had was during Covid - and back then going to the grocery story was a problem!
Good solid company IMO

I have their Piranha Bar, and it is a well made, solid piece of equipment. The ONLY reason I do not have several of their other attachments is my budget.

I have their "quick disconnect" link and "ripper tooth" for my 77 and have been very happy with them both.
A skinny bucket seems like a good idea, but I have heard that they "plug up" easily in clay, so that might be a consideration.

Everything plugs up in clay, especially if it's damp, including the teeth on a trencher!

Yep, I agree.
However I have heard that the because the smaller buckets load has less mass, it is harder to "shake it out" thus more likely to have to be dug out by hand.
That's just what I "heard", I don't have any actually experience with it personally.
Kinda makes sense to me though.
I don't think it's the less weight so much as the closer distance between the sides, holding in the dirt.
Either way, it is more prone to holding dirt inside the bucket.
I have there Piranha Tooth Bar, thumb, 6" trenching bucket, ripper tooth, and quick on ...
While damp clay can stick in it, it is no harder to clear out than my 12" factory bucket ...
I dumped the above load out, but still had half of it in the bucket, extending the dipper stick out and bucket so it's upside down, I tapped it on the ground, got most of it out ...
I like it!
