CAT 303.5 Tilt Grading Bucket 36" / 900mm

This heavy‑duty 36 inch tilting grading bucket is designed to fit CAT 303.5 excavators. It uses the same hydraulic circuit as a thumb, allowing the tilt to reach up to 45 degrees left and right (a total of 90 degrees). Note: this bucket is not supplied with the hydraulic hoses required to connect to your excavator—you’ll need to source the correct hoses for your machine. Fitting a tilting ditching bucket to your excavator enables faster, cleaner shaping of complex forms such as trenches and yard landscaping.

• Single Ram with check valve: Ensures controlled tilt movement and maintains position under load for consistent grading.
• Reinforced leading edge and wear plates: Built to withstand abrasive soils and rocky conditions, extending bucket life.
• Hydraulic hoses fitted up to tilting headstock: Hose routing through the headstock powers the tilt mechanism for reliable operation.
• Compatibility: Specifically engineered to fit CAT 303.5 excavators for a precise, secure attachment.

Benefits: The 36" width provides precise control in tight spaces, while the tilting action enables rapid shaping of complex profiles—trenches, drainage cuts, and landscaped beds—with fewer passes. The combination of a single hydraulic ram, a robust leading edge, and wear protection minimizes downtime and maintenance on busy sites. This tilt grading bucket helps you achieve cleaner edges and more accurate grades, improving on-site efficiency for trenching, ditching, and yard development projects.
