Description
NM Attachments 6HD-18 Heavy-Duty Spade-Tooth Bucket is an 18-inch excavator tooth bucket designed for demanding trenching and material-handling work with excavators in the 6–7 ton class. Built from high-grade structural steel with AR400 wear protection in key contact areas, this heavy-duty bucket is suited to working in sand, gravel, and clay. Its standard CAT-style teeth configuration supports productive digging, while the standard C-type lifting hook provides a designated lifting provision for handling and positioning the attachment.
Built for demanding excavation work
The 6HD-18 combines a compact 18-inch working width with heavy-duty construction for excavation tasks where controlled digging and durability are important. The bucket is intended for use on compatible excavators with an approximate operating weight of 12,000–14,000 lb. Its 18-inch profile is suitable for trenching applications and other jobs requiring a narrower digging path than a general-purpose wide bucket.
AR400 wear material is used in the bucket’s high-contact areas, including the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. This reinforced wear-area construction helps protect the bucket in abrasive working conditions and supports reliable use across common excavation materials such as sand, gravel, and clay.
