What do we mean by extra? Many people confuse a ditching bucket for a grading bucket and vice versa. They are both shallow wide buckets so an easy mistake to make. A ditching bucket however is more rounded and has drainage holes in the base and sides. As you can see from the picture this grading bucket is not rounded. In fact it has a pronounced flat base that makes it easier to control a flat grade. Also the internal fillets are larger so the bucket can take the weight of the digger pushing on it with out bending the base up. The buckets base is also made from thicker material than a ditching bucket for better wear characteristics. We can manufacture these buckets for any size excavator and any width.
