Wondering if anyone here has purchased a Rhinox backhoe bucket, and what your opinion of it is.
Rhinox attachments are made in GB, but sold and shipped to the USA for what seems to be a very good price.
My L48 TLB already has a 24" Kubota bucket, but I am considering ordering an 18" Rhinox KX41-3 bucket.
The Rhinox bucket does not appear to be as heavy duty as the OEM Kubota bucket, but I would be using it infrequently, and only for trenching in sandy soil.
Rhino = $674.56 delivered v/s Kubota $1,100+.
Ideas/opinions?

UPDATE: E-mail to Rhinox proved my suspicion.
Their buckets as advertised on the internet are extremely light duty.
OEM Kubota BH bucket weighs 185 lbs.
Rhinox bucket weighs 90 lbs.
I don't need an industrial strength bucket,.....but
90 lbs. is not for me!
