    Just posting this here in case anyone else searches this thread in the future: BXpanded Contact Hi Joe, We cannot manufacture for a BH92 backhoe. We can only build what is listed already on the website. The parts we do build have already been designed, engineered and tested by us, the...

    BH92 Bucket options? I can't find a smaller bucket!

    Okay I called a few welders nearby. One didn't want to do it, Another said sure, but no matter how small it is they want big money (1200$ min) and said 4 months... eeesh. Found a old guy with a great accent named RIP, at a small shop only 15 minutes away, spent 20 minutes telling me stories...

    BH92 Bucket options? I can't find a smaller bucket!

    This is a good idea, This is probably the direction I am going to have to go. I think a real deep well trench bucket would outperform the 12" standard bucket massively.

    I'd love to get just a grading bucket for all kinds of stuff. For footings the teeth woudl be terrible because you tear up the earth you are trying to leave compacted! Good luck with that, If you come across anyone making a smaller bucket please let me know!

    BH92 Bucket options? I can't find a smaller bucket!

    First post here, I've been a orange guy since 2003 when I bought a B2630. I moved up to the hills and traded the B for a 2008 L3940, Man I love this thing. Its almost too big. I have a BH92 backhoe now and it has the standard 18"? Bucket from the factory. While I am impressed with the...
