Description

The NM Attachments 48" Class 6 Ditch Cleaning Bucket is a purpose-built excavator attachment for efficient ditching, grading, slope work, back-filling, land clearing, and high-volume handling of light materials. Model NM-6DC-48 combines high-grade structural steel construction with AR400 steel wear areas, including the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. A reversible bolt-on cutting edge is included, helping provide a practical working edge for maintenance and replacement, while the standard lifting eye supports convenient handling when the bucket is not mounted on the excavator.

Built for Ditching, Grading and Slope Work

This NM-Attachments ditch cleaning bucket is designed for applications where a broad working profile and controlled material movement are important. Its intended uses include shaping and maintaining ditches, working on slopes, grading surfaces, back-filling excavations, clearing land, and moving high volumes of light material.

The 48-inch configuration is identified for Class 6 excavators. The bucket’s supplied catalogue capacity is 17.625 cu. ft., providing a substantial volume for suitable light-material handling applications.

Key Features

  • 48-inch working configuration: Sized for the NM-6DC-48 model.
  • Class 6 excavator compatibility: Intended for excavators in Width Class 6.
  • Reversible bolt-on cutting edge included: Provides a replaceable, reversible working edge for ditch cleaning and grading applications.
  • High-grade structural steel construction: Built using structural steel for the main bucket construction.
  • AR400 bottom wear straps: Reinforced wear areas help protect the bucket bottom during material contact.
  • AR400 side wear plates: Wear-resistant side protection for demanding ground-contact work.
  • AR400 side cutters: Reinforced side cutting components for ditching, grading, and profile work.
  • Standard lifting eye: Provides a designated lifting provision for handling the attachment.
  • 17.625 cu. ft. capacity: Catalogue-listed capacity for high-volume light-material handling.

Durable Wear-Area Design

NM Attachments uses AR400 steel in the bucket’s primary wear areas: the bottom wear straps, side wear plates, and side cutters. These reinforced components are intended to help manage abrasion and contact in applications such as ditch maintenance, land clearing, grading, and back-filling. The reversible bolt-on cutting edge adds a practical service feature, allowing the edge to be reversed as part of maintenance rather than replacing the complete bucket.
