The NM Attachments NM-3DC-36 36" Class 3 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a standard-capacity excavator bucket designed for slope work, ditching, grading, back-filling, land clearing, and high-volume handling of light materials. With a nominal 36-inch working width and a rated capacity of 5.875 cu ft, it provides a broad profile for shaping, cleaning, and finishing work. The bucket is constructed from high-grade structural steel, with AR400 wear steel used in the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters to help protect high-contact areas during demanding excavation and material-handling applications. A standard lifting eye is included. The bolt-on cutting edge is sold separately.

Built for Ditching and Grading Work

The NM-3DC-36 is designed for applications where a wider bucket profile can improve productivity and help create consistent slopes, ditch lines, and graded surfaces. Its ditch-cleaning configuration is suited to shaping and maintaining drainage channels, working along slopes, back-filling excavated areas, clearing land, and moving high volumes of light material.

The bucket combines high-grade structural steel with AR400 steel in key wear areas. AR400 wear components are used for the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters, providing reinforced contact surfaces in areas exposed to abrasion during routine use.

Cutting Edge and Lifting Eye

This bucket includes a standard lifting eye for supported lifting applications. The manufacturer ditching-bucket family uses a reversible bolt-on cutting-edge design, while the exact catalogue listing for the NM-3DC-36 specifies that the bolt-on cutting edge is sold separately. Confirm the required cutting-edge configuration and availability when ordering.
