Hello all,
I'm knew to this forum, but have used it a lot lately to make a purchase. I just bought a 2005 Takeuchi TB125 with ~3200 hours on it, and awaiting delivery. It will be for personal use to help dig a pond on my land. I have been damming up the far side of a ravine with my Kubota L3800 tractor/loader with toothbar and BH77 backhoe. I am at a point now where I needed an excavator to finish the job. I 'ran out' of dirt to build the dam.
So I will now use the excavator to 'dig the side of the ravine' to get the dirt and stack it on the dam. This will make the pond bigger and get me the dirt I need. I built the base of the dam last year with dirt from a hill adjacent to the ravine side, but now that dirt is used and the hill is now leveled flat with the future side of the pond.
Anyhow, my poor backhoe is to short to reach over the side to dig, and even though I love it to death, that BH77 is painfully slow, and I don't want to 'beat' on it much more. So enter the mini-excavator.
Now I have thought about a)hiring it done....b) renting a larger machine.....c) buying a larger piece of equipment and then selling it when done.....d) or do what I did and purchased a more economical one and keep it around as a pet.
So my question is:
It comes with an 18" very shallow toothed bucket. My BH77 is 16" but looks like it could hold more material. How do I go about finding say a 24" toothed bucket with more volume?
I know it has 35mm diamter pins, but thats about it.
Takeuchi buckets I am learning are hard to find. So can someone school me on these 'quick couplers' and if that may work. I've seen TB125 couplers for sale from $600-$1200, then I would need a bucket to fit the coupler right? So what coupler brand/system would I pick?
Could I try to make another manufacturers bucket with 35mm diameter pins try to fit mine?
Thanks so much for your advice!!
