NM Attachments - 42" Class 8 Hydraulic Tilt Ditch Cleaning Bucket - Reversible Bolt-On Edge Included - 90° Tilt, 0.375 cu yd [NM-8HTD-42]

The NM Attachments 8HTD-42 Hydraulic Tilt Ditching Bucket is a 42-inch ditch-cleaning bucket designed for excavators in the 14,000–24,000 lb operating-weight class, or approximately 7–12 tons. Its hydraulic tilt function provides 90° of total rotation—45° in each direction—helping operators shape, clean, and maintain ditches, drainage channels, slopes, and other areas where a fixed bucket cannot maintain the required working angle. With a 0.375 cu yd capacity, dual-cylinder design, and reinforced wear areas incorporating AR400 steel, this bucket is built for controlled grading and ditching work on compatible excavators.

Hydraulic Tilt Ditching Performance

The 8HTD-42 is designed to improve access and control when working along banks, channels, and sloped surfaces. Hydraulic adjustment allows the bucket to tilt to either side without repositioning the excavator as frequently, supporting more efficient ditch cleaning and finish grading. The 90° total tilt range provides up to 45° of movement in each direction from the centre position.

A dual hydraulic-cylinder configuration supports the bucket’s tilting function. The 42-inch working width provides coverage for ditch maintenance and grading applications while retaining a capacity of 0.375 cubic yards for handling excavated material.

Durable Construction

NM Attachments specifies high-grade structural steel construction with AR400 steel in key wear areas. These reinforced areas include the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. The wear-focused construction is suited to recurring contact with soil and other jobsite materials during ditching, shaping, and clean-up work.
