        Hi Len:  I don't know if another brand bucket will fit your unit….do know that most of the Chinese units are “copies” of other established  brands, but would think that it might be best, and less expensive in the long run, to buy the bucket made for your unit.  It would be a pretty big job to change the mounting locations on another bucket in order to get the right angles, etc.

         

        You might check with dealers to see if they can ship with another order to your area, then pick up at the warehouse.

          Len,

          These are sure to fit. Take your pick. I know everyone wants something for free or on the cheap, buy these are what you want, and you can get them pretty quickly.

          I think other dealers may have them as well, check them out. As far as interchangeability with domestic hoes, I know of none, and having been a former LW-06 owner I can state that even though you may find one with similar geometry, I guarantee that you won't find one with similar geometry AND the correct pin sizes.

          Sorry. holeagain

          One thing you can do is to pack your bucket around to varios domestic dealers to find a match-up.

            Thanks much!

            I have a 18″ bucket now and would like smaller bucket for digging out stumps. I will check with a couple of tractor dealers outside of Atlanta to see if they have something the will “Match” what I have now.  Then will contact a Jima dealer and see if I am traveling by their location while in business so I can pick it up and save on shipping.

                    Thanks for the info on this equipment dealer. You got a real deal on an 18” bucket for your LW7 for $150.00 including shipping. I went to the web site and also contacted their sales department.  They told me that you can get free shipping if you purchase $500.00 in merchandise or if you pick the bucket up at their facility. They are currently charging $150.00 + $90.00 in shipping for an 18” bucket.  I just bought a 12” bucket for $145.00 + $60.00 in shipping from them ($205.00 delivered). The best deal I could find at other dealers was for $450.00 + shipping.

                    Betstco by far has the BEST prices.

                    I received my 12” bucket yesterday, hooked it up today, and started digging out stumps.  The narrower bucket works well breaking roots out and it takes less time getting the stumps out.  It was a good investment and addition to my tractor.

                    Several things about this company and the new bucket.

                     First the 12” bucket I purchased is 2X better than the factory bucket I got with my BH.  It has good welds and reinforced edges (extra layer of metal) on the bucket and seams. Much better that the factory one I have.  See pictures on their listing in eBay. I’ll have to modify my factory bucket to match this one.

                    Second customer service was GREAT! There is a sales/customer service rep named Keith. Very professional and he took time out to help me an answer my questions.

                    They also carry parts and implements for tractors with very reasonable prices. Check them out !
