When Buying A Mud Bucket Consider These Six Important Points

By Pete Theron


Selecting a good quality mud bucket, that won't let you down, is very important. The right bucket will ensure you earn more money by moving more material, reduce your fuel servicing costs, while saving you time and keeping your customers happy.

Here are a few quick points to bear in mind when you're selecting a new batter bucket that will help you achieve the best possible results.

1. Application Knowledge. Obviously your first port of call is to determine the type of material you need to move and the lifting capacity of the machine you will be using. With this information in mind, you'll be able to find the right loading, batter, mud or sand bucket for your application.

2. Geometry of bucket. To improve your productivity and performance, choose a mud bucket with the right geometry. To provide efficient loading and unloading of materials it is important to have a good, high performance excavator trim bucket that has the right proportions and bucket geometry.

3. Durability and construction. Check the batter bucket to make sure that it has a robust, heavy-duty construction that offers longer life and increased strength.

4. Capacity and width of bucket. Choose a mud bucket with the right capacity, width and depth to have more efficient bucket fills for the constituency of the materials your will be handling.

5. A heavy duty head plate. The strength of the head plate is important to ensure the loading bucket can withstand the stresses and strains of the job. A solid head plate provides strength through the bucket from the ears for optimum digging power.

6. The edge for cutting. Reinforce the cutting edge for extra strength and greater durability with bolt-on edges.

All these points taken into consideration will give you the advantage with your application.
