NM Attachments - 12" Class 2 Heavy-Duty Spade-Tooth Bucket - 3 Spade Teeth - 0.9 cu ft, AR400 Wear Areas [NM-2HD-12S]

The NM Attachments 12" Class 2 Heavy-Duty Spade-Tooth Bucket is a rugged excavator attachment designed for focused digging, trenching, and material handling in sand, gravel, and clay. This NM Attachments bucket features a narrow 12-inch working width, three spade teeth, and an approximately 0.9 cu. ft. capacity for controlled excavation in confined spaces. Built from high-grade structural steel with AR400 steel in key wear areas, including the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters, it is made to withstand demanding ground-engaging work. The standard CAT-style tooth configuration supports practical tooth selection, with various tooth options available from the manufacturer.

Heavy-Duty Excavation Performance

The 12-inch profile helps concentrate digging force for trenching and narrow excavation tasks. Three spade teeth engage the ground to help penetrate and break through common jobsite materials, while the approximately 0.9 cu. ft. bucket capacity supports efficient movement of excavated material. Its heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for regular use where reinforced wear protection is important.

Reinforced Wear Areas

NM Attachments uses high-grade structural steel for the bucket body and AR400 steel in areas exposed to repeated abrasion. AR400 wear protection is applied to the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. These reinforced areas help protect the bucket where it experiences contact with the ground and excavated material during digging, trenching, and cleanup work.

Key Features

• 12-inch working width for narrow excavation and trenching applications
• Three spade teeth for concentrated ground penetration
• Approximately 0.9 cu. ft. bucket capacity
• High-grade structural steel construction
• AR400 steel wear areas at the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters
• Standard CAT-style tooth configuration
• Various tooth options available
• Suitable for work in sand, gravel, and clay

Typical Applications

This heavy-duty spade-tooth bucket is suited to trenching, narrow digging, and general excavation work where a compact working width and toothed cutting edge are beneficial. It can be used for digging in sand, gravel, and clay, as well as for moving the excavated material from the work area. The three-tooth arrangement provides a focused digging profile for jobs that require controlled ground engagement rather than a wide excavation pass.
