Pin geometry for BH70 bucket? Looking at Titan 8 inch wide

[tcmeyers]

Unless I remove the stock bucket on my BH70, I don’t seem to be able to get a good measurement for what the holes and tab spacing should be to ensure a 3rd-party bucket will fit. It’s not mounted on the B2601HSD now so it’s not easy to remove. The pin spacing seems OK, and the hole size could be workable (with bushings?) but I’m unsure of the tab spacing dimensions.

I’m considering the Titan 8 inch wide BHBUCKET8v1b (SKU #: 122921) seen on this page:

Backhoe Bucket Attachment | Titan Attachments

Dig ditches, trenches, and more with the Backhoe Bucket, available in six various widths from 8" to 24".

Here is a screenshot of the specs… what do you think?

well, you've got the required 'dimensions' so draw it out on paper or better 1/4" plywood and make a 'pretend' bucket. BTDt several times. Crazy pinhole size 1.397" aka 3.55sillymeters.

Good idea. I think I better mount the BH and remove the existing bucket though, the proposed narrow one is so close to looking like it won’t fit (about 1/16” too narrow between 2nd hole tabs) that I can’t tell. Or maybe I should get it and break out the grinder.

The pin diameter on the Kubota is a little crazy too .975” or 24.75 silly meters
