Case 580 B

[Terry M.]

I'm looking for a backhoe bucket to fit my Case 580 B, that would be 12" to 16" wide. Does anyone have a source for such an item?
Thanks,
Terry M.

I have seen reference to a 12" bucket for the 580B,,,,,,but,,,,,,,,, I have been told by more than one operator that in most soils anything smaller then an 18" will pack the dirt in the bucket such that it is hard to empty the bucket. That's why I have only 18" and a 24" bucket for my 580B.

Thanks for the reply Dan. The reason I need a smaller bucket is to dig foundations for monuments in cemeteries. If your hear of one for sale, let me know.
Thanks
