The Story
JCB 8018 / 8018 CTS Tilt Grading Bucket - 36" / 900mm
This heavy-duty, 36-inch tilting grading bucket is purpose-built to fit JCB 8018 and 8018 CTS excavators. It uses the same hydraulic circuit as a thumb, allowing the bucket to tilt up to 45 degrees to either side (a total of 90 degrees) for precise shaping of trenches, drainage channels, and yard landscaping. Note: hydraulic hoses are not included and must be sourced to match your excavator’s fittings.
- Designed for JCB 8018 / 8018 CTS: specifically matched to the dimensions and mounting of these models for secure, reliable operation.
- 45° tilt each side (90° total): enables rapid, accurate grading along curves and edges by tilting left or right from the operator’s seat.
- Dual Ram with reinforced leading edge: built for durability in tough digging and grading tasks, with added wear plates to extend life in harsh conditions.
- Hydraulic connections ready up to the tilting headstock: hoses are fitted up to the tilt mechanism; you’ll need to source the correct hoses for your excavator model.
- Enhanced grading and ditching capability: ideal for shaping trenches, ditch lines, and complex landscaping contours with fewer repositionings and greater control.
This tilt grading bucket delivers practical, field-proven performance for excavator operators who need cleaner edges, tighter control, and faster grading work on site. By integrating with your existing hydraulic setup (using the same circuit as a thumb), it offers intuitive control to improve workflow on trenching and landscaping jobs while standing up to daily on-site wear.
