NM Attachments - 30" Class 3 Ditch Cleaning Bucket - Standard Capacity - 4.875 cu ft, Bolt-On Cutting Edge Sold Separately [NM-3DC-30]

NM Attachments NM-3DC-30 30 in Class 3 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a standard-capacity excavator ditching bucket designed for slope work, ditching, grading, back-filling, land clearing, and high-volume handling of light materials. With a 30 in working width and a stated 4.875 cu ft capacity, this bucket provides a broad profile for shaping and maintaining ditches, cleaning slopes, and moving loose material efficiently. Its high-grade structural-steel construction is reinforced with AR400 wear steel in the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters for durable performance in demanding earthmoving applications. A standard lifting eye is included, while the bolt-on cutting edge is sold separately.

Built for Ditching and Slope Work

The NM-3DC-30 is purpose-built for excavator applications where a wider, ditching-style bucket is preferred over a general-purpose digging bucket. Its 30 in working width supports efficient grading and ditch cleaning, helping operators shape slopes, back-fill, clear land, and handle high volumes of light material. The standard-capacity configuration offers a stated 4.875 cu ft of bucket capacity for productive material handling during routine maintenance and earthworks.

Durable Wear Protection

NM Attachments constructs this ditch-cleaning bucket from high-grade structural steel. Areas exposed to regular contact and abrasion use AR400 steel, including the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. This wear-focused construction helps protect key surfaces during ditching, grading, and material-handling work. The standard lifting eye provides an additional built-in feature for lifting applications where appropriate.
