Tilt Rotating Excavator Bucket 100 cm for Compact Excavators

Tilting a 100 cm bucket changes how you profile slopes or dig ditches without repositioning the machine. The tilt cylinder works directly on the bucket angle, doing away with repeated passes and manual corrections. For operators who know their carrier's limits, the mounting pin diameter (25 mm) is the critical spec.

Mounting Compatibility and Carrier Range

This tilting bucket fits mini-excavators with an operating weight between 800 kg and 1.6 t. It explicitly covers Norteck SX10 and SX17, plus Kubota KX36-3 and KX41-2, and the JCB 801. Before ordering, measure the stick pin spacing and pin diameter on your machine—even a few millimeters off can prevent installation.

• Mounting pin diameter: 25 mm
• Cutting width: 100 cm
• Carrier range: 800 kg to 1.6 t
• Integrated grease fitting for articulation point maintenance

The spec sheet doesn't list further dimensions, so stick to the stated figures. The grease fitting simplifies mechanism upkeep, but how often you grease depends on site conditions and usage intensity.

Slope Work and Ditches: The Role of the Tilt Cylinder

With a fixed bucket, you rely on the stick and boom to achieve a consistent slope. With a tilt cylinder, you adjust the cutting angle right from the cab. Sloping becomes more uniform, and you can dig ditches in a single pass along the machine's travel path. For more specialized cleaning, the 80 cm tilt cleaning bucket offers an option for narrower sections.

On carriers in the same range, pairing this with a thumb grapple expands gripping possibilities. For light demolition or breaking up compacted ground, a ripper tooth completes the setup without switching machines.

The manufacturer doesn't intend this 100 cm bucket for mini-excavators under 800 kg. The wider cutting edge puts more demand on the auxiliary hydraulic circuit and stick structure—stay within the stated range.
