Description

NM Attachments 6HTD-42 Hydraulic Tilt Ditching Bucket is a 42-inch Class 6 attachment designed for ditch cleaning, grading, sloping, and other excavation finishing work. With a rated capacity of 10.25 cubic feet, this hydraulic tilt ditching bucket provides a broad working width for efficiently shaping banks and drainage channels. Its dual-cylinder design delivers 90° of total tilt rotation—45° in each direction—allowing the bucket to work at different angles without repositioning the excavator as frequently. The reversible bolt-on edge is included, supporting practical edge maintenance and serviceability for demanding excavation applications.

Efficient Ditching and Grading Control

The NM Attachments 6HTD-42 is built for excavators in the 6–7 ton class and machines weighing approximately 12,000–14,000 lb. Its hydraulic tilt function allows operators to adjust the bucket angle to follow slopes, shape ditch profiles, clean drainage channels, and perform grading work across uneven terrain. Tilting 45° to either side provides a combined 90° range of movement, helping the operator position the bucket for side slopes and angled surfaces while maintaining a productive working position.

The dual hydraulic cylinder configuration supports the bucket’s tilt function across its operating range. The 42-inch working width provides substantial coverage during ditch maintenance and finishing operations, while the 10.25 cu ft capacity is suited to moving and shaping excavated material with excavators in the specified machine class.

  • 42-inch working width
  • 10.25 cu ft rated bucket capacity
  • 90° total tilt rotation
  • 45° of tilt in each direction

Applications

This bucket is suited to ditch cleaning, drainage maintenance, bank shaping, slope work, grading, and general excavation finishing. The hydraulic tilt function is particularly useful when the work surface is offset from the excavator or when the operator needs to form consistent slopes and channels. By changing the bucket angle hydraulically, the operator can work across angled ground while reducing the need for repeated machine repositioning.
