Description
The NM Attachments 6DC-36 36" Class 6 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a smooth-profile excavator bucket designed for ditching, grading, slope work, backfilling, and land-clearing applications. With a nominal 13 cu. ft. capacity, AR400 wear areas, and a reversible bolt-on cutting edge included, it is built to provide a broad working profile for shaping and maintaining ground surfaces while supporting serviceable wear components. The bucket is intended for excavators weighing approximately 12,000–14,000 lb, or about 5.4–6.4 metric tonnes, with the final fit dependent on the machine’s mount configuration.
Product Overview
The 6DC-36 provides a 36-inch working width and a smooth bucket profile suited to moving and shaping material where a toothed digging edge is not required. Its ditching and grading configuration is suitable for forming or cleaning drainage channels, working slopes, backfilling, and general land-clearing tasks.
AR400 material is used in specified wear areas, including the bottom wear straps and side wear plates. The included reversible bolt-on cutting edge can be removed and reversed as required, supporting maintenance of the working edge and helping extend serviceability as the edge wears.

Designed for Ground-Shaping Work
The smooth configuration is intended for applications requiring controlled material handling and ground finishing. The 36-inch width provides a working profile for ditch and slope maintenance, while the 13 cu. ft. nominal capacity supports the movement of material during grading, backfilling, and land-clearing operations.
The reversible bolt-on cutting edge is a practical service feature. Because it is bolted on and reversible, the edge can be removed for maintenance and reversed when appropriate to use the opposite edge. The AR400 wear areas are specified for the bucket’s bottom wear straps and side wear plates.

Excavator Compatibility
This bucket is intended for excavators weighing approximately 12,000–14,000 lb, equivalent to approximately 5.4–6.4 metric tonnes, subject to mount configuration verification. A custom mount must be specified, and attachment fit is not universal.
Mounting Requirements
Confirm the required mount configuration before ordering. The verified 45 mm pin diameter and the observed fitment to a John Deere 310SK backhoe are listing-specific interface details and should not be treated as universal compatibility specifications. The excavator’s mount arrangement must be checked against the bucket before installation.
