Description

The NM Attachments NM-8DC-42 Class 8 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a 42-inch excavator ditching bucket designed for ditching, grading, slope work, backfilling, land clearing, and high-volume light-material handling. It features a reversible bolt-on cutting edge for serviceability, AR400 steel in key wear areas for added abrasion resistance, and a standard lifting eye for supported lifting applications. With a 42-inch working width and excavator mount, the NM-8DC-42 is suited to Class 8 excavator applications where broad coverage and efficient material handling are required.

Built for Ditching and Grading Work

The NM-8DC-42 is purpose-built for shaping and maintaining ditches, grading slopes, backfilling, and clearing land. Its wide 42-inch profile helps cover more ground per pass, making it useful for high-volume light-material handling and general site-preparation tasks. The bucket’s excavator mounting arrangement supports use with compatible excavators, while the specific hookup style should be confirmed before ordering.

Durable Wear Protection

AR400 steel is used in the bucket’s bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. These wear areas are exposed to repeated contact with soil and other jobsite materials, and their AR400 construction is intended to provide durable protection in demanding working conditions. The included reversible bolt-on cutting edge adds a replaceable, serviceable edge for continued ditch-cleaning and grading performance.
