How Useful Is A Ditching Bucket?
I have an old JCB with two buckets, about 8" and 2ft. I was thinking of picking up a 5ft ditching bucket. Should I get one or not? Do people get much use out of them or would I be fine without one?

It does a little bit of everything really: from digging up stones to grading soil and tarmac. The job at the moment is loading tar planings onto a trailer. We're getting near the end which means you can easily scoop up a bit of soil too There are also a few jobs that need doing on the farm.

Two words - Get one. They are so useful it will spend more time on your machine than any other bucket. I have a brand new Geith grading bucket that came with my 3C i kept it when i sold the machine and it's too big for my MF40, By the way Any one got a grading bucket for an MF40.
I am keeping the Geith bucket for my next machine

A 3ft bucket or a 4ft bucket with no teeth is pretty useful too. 4ft buckets are as rare as pregnant nuns unfortunately. By the way Michael, would the initial of your middle name be a J?

Historically, pregnant Nuns do crop up!
if you are farming as well, a ditching bucket is very handy, cleaning concrete corners around the yard, scraping slats in slatted sheds where there is a build-up of straw or silage pulled in through the barrier, as well as cleaning out ditches.
