Ditch Clean-Out Buckets
ACS Ditch Clean-out Buckets are wider than general digging buckets and have a shorter tip radius for better leverage when reaching the excavator arm to it’s maximum distance - especially useful when using longer booms.
This bucket is ideal for cleaning out ditches, drainage canals, mucking ponds and lakes and other roadside maintenance. It is typically installed on both tracked and wheeled excavators with either standard length or long-reach sticks. No teeth are installed to allow the bucket to leave a smooth surface.

Features
-
Bolt-On Edge
Comes installed with beveled, wear-resistant steel edge that takes the brunt of all first-contact impacts. Double-sided for twice extended life; when one side wears down, simply turn it around to expose the fresh edge.
-
Heavy Wall Round Tube
All ACS Excavator Buckets are built with Heavy Wall Round Tube reinforcement across the top. The Heavy Wall Round Tube design provides direct transfer of digging and breakout forces to the bucket cutting edge.
-
High Strength Steel
Heavy wear areas are constructed with premium-grade AR 400 steel for maximum impact and abrasion resistance. AR 400 steel has a minimum BNH (Brinell Hardness Number) of 360 and is valued for its durability and strong resistance to abrasion. -
Single Radius Shell
The sloped bottom, single-radius shell design provides superior loading and cleaning. The bottom of the bucket slopes up and away from the dig direction to facilitate boiling - the churning of material on a horizontal axis within the bucket which promotes faster loading with less required horsepower. The sloped bottom also reduces heel wear.
-
Skid Pads
The underside is clad with welded-on AR 400 steel skid pads. AR 400 steel has a minimum BNH (Brinell Hardness Number) of 360 and is valued for it's durability and strong resistance to abrasion. -
Trapezoidal Design
Tapered from front-to-back and bottom-to-top to reduce keep only the cutting edge in contact with handled material. This keeps the remaining surface area of the bucket from dragging, increasing the performance of your machine and reducing bucket wear.
Options
-
Drainage Perforations
Provide fast escape routes for unwanted liquid in your payload.
