NM Attachments - 42" Class 3 Hydraulic Tilt Ditch Cleaning Bucket - Bolt-On Edge Included - 90° Tilt, 5 cu ft [NM-3HTD-42]

NM Attachments 3HTD-42 Hydraulic Tilt Ditching Bucket is a 42-inch hydraulic tilt smooth bucket designed for excavators in the 3–5 ton class. With a 5 cu ft capacity and a 42-inch working width, it is suited to ditching, grading, shaping, and other earthmoving tasks where controlled bucket positioning and a smooth bucket profile are beneficial. The hydraulic tilt function allows the bucket angle to be adjusted from the excavator, supporting more efficient work on slopes, channels, drainage runs, and uneven ground. The mount must be specified to match the excavator and attachment interface.

Product Overview

The NM Attachments 3HTD-42 is a hydraulic tilt ditching bucket, also described as a hydraulic tilt smooth bucket. Its smooth configuration is intended for finishing and shaping work rather than general-purpose digging with a toothed bucket. The 42-inch width provides a broad working profile for ditch cleaning and grading, while the 5 cu ft capacity supports productive material handling during excavation and cleanup operations.

Hydraulic tilt functionality helps the operator position the bucket for angled cuts, sloped surfaces, and ditch profiles without relying solely on machine repositioning. This makes the attachment useful for maintaining drainage channels, trimming banks, shaping embankments, and performing final grading work with compatible excavators.

The hydraulic tilt feature can help the operator maintain the desired bucket angle when working across sloped or uneven terrain.

Compatibility and Mounting

The 3HTD-42 is recommended for excavators in the 3–5 ton class, corresponding to machines with an operating weight range of approximately 6,000–10,000 lb. The attachment mount must be specified. The exact hitch or quick-attach variant is not verified, so the required mount should be confirmed for the intended excavator before ordering.

Specifications

Before Ordering

Confirm that the excavator falls within the recommended 3–5 ton machine class and provide the required mount specification for the machine’s attachment interface. Because the exact hitch or quick-attach configuration is not specified, compatibility should be checked before purchase.
