Hitachi ZX17U Tilt Grading Bucket - 36" / 900mm

Engineered to fit Hitachi ZX17U excavators, this heavy-duty 36-inch tilting grading bucket expands your site-prep capabilities. It uses the same hydraulic circuit as a thumb, enabling tilting up to 45 degrees left or right (a total of 90 degrees). The bucket does not include hydraulic hoses; you will need to source the correct hoses for your excavator. When mounted, it speeds up shaping of trenches, drainage ditches, and yard landscaping by letting you grade and contour with precision from the cab.

• Tilting capability: Tilts up to 45 degrees left and right, giving you a 90-degree tilt range to follow ground contours and shape complex layouts without repositioning the machine.
• Dual Ram: Independent hydraulic cylinders deliver stable tilt control under load, improving accuracy when grading on uneven or muddy ground.
• Reinforced leading edge & wear plates: Hardened leading edge plus additional wear plates resist abrasion during trenching, backfilling, and rough soil conditions.
• Hydraulic hose run to headstock: Hoses are fitted up to the tilting headstock for easier hookup; hoses must be sourced separately for your ZX17U model.
• ZX17U compatibility: Specifically designed to mount securely on Hitachi ZX17U excavators for reliable performance and quick attachment changes.
• Video guide: Includes a supplementary video demonstrating setup, tilting operations, and practical trenching/grading techniques for this bucket.

This tilt grading bucket is a practical upgrade for operators performing trench shaping, ditching, and landscape prep where precise gradients and clean edges matter. It reduces guesswork, increases efficiency in tougher soils, and keeps site work within a compact footprint. Remember to source the correct hydraulic hoses for your machine to complete installation and unlock the bucket’s full grading capability on your Hitachi ZX17U.
