Excavator Bucket Measurements Guide

Instructions:
To measure your bucket to replace or refill it, all you need is a tape measure.

Dimensions not marked as “required” will help to determine the capacity of the current storage bucket.

For best and most accurate results, measure the pinhole diameter in millimetres.
