A brand new, complete trapezoidal (V-bucket) by NEXGEN, designed for CATERPILLAR 428D, 428E, 428F, 432E, 438, 442, and 444 backhoe loaders. The bucket's body is made of high-quality steel, and the cutting edge from durable HB400 wear-resistant steel. It features an innovative reinforced hitch structure (ears welded to the bottom and a special cross-beam) to prevent twisting, and an elongated bottom profile for easier ditch forming and material retention. The bucket is fully assembled (with teeth and bushings, pins not included) and ready for immediate installation, manufactured in accordance with the ISO 7451 standard.

The list above is for reference. You must verify your dipper arm dimensions: 45mm & 50mm pin diameters, 205mm & 255mm arm widths, and 345mm pin centers.
Before mounting or dismounting the bucket, ensure the machine is on stable, level ground and the attachment is lowered to the ground. Always use certified lifting slings and ensure no one is in the working area of the attachment.
A trapezoidal bucket is a specialized tool for forming and cleaning ditches, canals, and slopes with a specific angle (here 2x30°). Its technical condition directly impacts the quality and speed of work.

A grading bucket has a flat bottom and straight sides, used for leveling flat surfaces. A trapezoidal (or V-bucket), like this one, has its bottom and sides fixed at a specific angle (here 30°) to form a V-shape, allowing it to create a perfect trapezoidal ditch profile in a single pass.
2. Why does this hitch have two different pin diameters (45mm and 50mm)?This is a specific design feature of the hitch system used on CATERPILLAR 428D, E, F and newer backhoe loaders. Unlike systems with two identical pins, the CAT hitch uses different diameters and widths for the dipper pin and the link pin.
3. Will this bucket fit a CAT 428C or a JCB 3CX?Absolutely not. This bucket is exclusively for CAT D/E/F-series machines with the 345mm pin center hitch. The older 428B/C models used a 370mm pin center. The JCB system (45/175/340) is completely different. None of these systems are compatible.
