Description
NM Attachments 36" Class 8 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a purpose-built excavator attachment for ditching, slope work, grading, back-filling, land clearing, and high-volume handling of light materials. Model 8DC-36 provides a 36-inch working width and a nominal 0.375 cubic yard capacity, making it suitable for excavators in the 14,000–24,000 lb machine-size range. The bucket features AR400 steel in key wear areas and includes a reversible bolt-on cutting edge for practical serviceability during demanding earthmoving and maintenance work.
Built for Ditching and Grading Work
The NM Attachments 8DC-36 is designed for shaping and maintaining ditches, working slopes, grading surfaces, and back-filling material. Its wide ditching-bucket profile supports efficient coverage when handling light materials or carrying out high-volume cleanup and land-clearing tasks. The 36-inch attachment size provides a useful balance between working width and machine compatibility for excavators within the specified Class 8 range.
For durability, the bucket uses high-grade structural steel with AR400 wear areas. These protected areas include the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters, helping the attachment withstand contact with abrasive ground and materials during regular ditching and grading operations.
