Description
The NM Attachments 6HD-24 Heavy-Duty Tooth Bucket is a 24-inch excavator bucket designed for machines weighing approximately 12,000–14,000 lb, or 6–7 tons. Built from high-grade structural steel with AR400 wear areas, it is suited to demanding excavation and material-handling work, including sand, gravel, clay, and trenching applications. The heavy-duty 6HD construction, CAT-style teeth, reinforced wear components, and standard C-type lifting hook make this bucket a practical attachment for contractors and equipment operators working in abrasive ground conditions.
Heavy-Duty Excavation Performance
The 6HD-24 is designed for excavators in the 12,000–14,000 lb operating range. Its 24-inch working width provides a balance between digging reach and material movement for general excavation, trenching, and sitework tasks. The tooth-bucket configuration helps engage and break into common ground materials such as clay, sand, and gravel.
High-grade structural steel forms the main bucket construction, while AR400 wear areas are used in key contact zones. These areas include the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters, helping the bucket withstand contact with abrasive materials and repeated ground engagement.

Built for Abrasive Working Conditions
AR400 wear areas reinforce the parts of the bucket most exposed to ground contact and material flow. The bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters provide targeted wear protection for excavation work where the bucket regularly encounters abrasive soil, aggregate, and other jobsite materials.
The standard CAT-style tooth configuration is intended for general digging performance, while alternative tooth options are available when a different tooth arrangement is required for the application. A standard C-type lifting hook is included as part of the bucket design.
Excavator Compatibility and Mounting
