The Story
CAT 301.8 Tilt Grading Bucket - 36" / 900mm
Designed to extend the capabilities of your CAT 301.8 excavator, this heavy-duty 36-inch tilting grading bucket lets you shape, trench, and landscape with precision. It tilts up to 45 degrees to the left and right (a total of 90 degrees), enabling complex grading contours and quicker trench work without constant repositioning. Note: hydraulic hoses are not included and must be sourced to match your excavator’s system. The bucket uses the same hydraulic circuit as a thumb, providing familiar, controllable tilting performance.
- Compatibility: specifically engineered to fit CAT 301.8 excavators for a secure, reliable connection.
- Tilt Range: tilts up to 45° left and right (90° total), enabling precise grading and trench shaping.
- Hydraulic Integration: shares the same hydraulic circuit as a thumb for intuitive control; hoses are not included and must be sourced to match your machine.
- Durable Construction: reinforced leading edge with additional wear plates to resist abrasion in tough soils and rock.
- Pre-Fitted Up to Headstock: hydraulic hoses fitted up to the tilting headstock (for ease of hookup once you source the correct hoses).
- Installation Considerations: designed for straightforward attachment to CAT 301.8 machines; ensure you have the correct hoses and fittings for your setup.
This tilt grading bucket delivers faster, more controlled shaping of trenches, curved profiles, and yard landscaping. The single-ram design with a check valve enhances safety and stability during operation, while the rugged edge and wear plates extend service life in demanding conditions. Ideal for excavator owners and contractors who need efficient grading, ditching, and contouring without sacrificing machine versatility.
