Built to fit the machine you run

Nothing here is an off-the-shelf pattern that you have to make work. Every unit is manufactured to your machine's tonnage, hitch and pin centres, so it bolts up to Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Volvo, CASE, Kubota, Yanmar and Takeuchi alike. Send us the make, model and pin sizes and we match the bracket before it ships - if your machine isn't on this list, it still fits.

We bought a mechanical grab for 20T excavator. Good communication during the whole process via email or phone. Good quality product which we haven't had a problem with at all. They also offered to help install when we picked up but was not required. All departments from order to pickup were very helpful.

Great rock bucket. Very effective for separating large rocks out of fill material. The ripper tooth is solid and well fabricated. I am very satisfied with my purchase after several weeks of use.

Ripper & Rake

Recently bought a ripper and a rake for a 8ton digger, both great quality attachments. The guys at Aussie buckets are very easy to deal with, straight forward for ordering and purchasing. The rake is great for any job in grass or vegetation, even when mixed with rocks or rubbish.

Hydraulic Grab

The hydraulic grab is better than any Christmas pressi. I use it on my farm dealing with trees and firewood. Also pipe laying. Try lifting 450 dia 12m long HDPE pipe and the grab fits perfect. OK the little Kubota knows it got a big fish on the hook but I can do what I can't do otherwise. Great choice - by me, great product thanks to you.

Hydraulic Grab & Auger

Great company to deal with. Excellent quality hydraulic grab attachment. The company was so nice to deal with I placed another order for a different attachment. Also kept me updated on my order from start to finish. Received my new auger and it is an amazing piece of kit coupled with a 350mm auger and I got the 1m extension also. Had a bit of time to test everything out and the grab is great for moving posts rocks and anything else to save my back. The auger has plenty of torque and because I'm in a bit of rocky ground I got the combination auger and it's busting through it quite well. Still very happy with my order and Aussie Buckets support and after sale check in just to see how everything is going.

We bought a hydraulic grab for our 5t excavator from Aussie Buckets and couldn't be happier. The square edged jaws help with gripping material while filtering out the dirt. So far, our customers have loved using it

I recently took delivery of the 1200mm wide heavy duty stick rake from Aussie Buckets. I was very impressed with the price I received and the staff kept me up to date during the procurement process. I love the design and the quality. I would very much recommend this product and I will look to source some more attachments through them in the future!

Frequently asked questions

What is a tilt hitch on an excavator? A tilt hitch, also called a power tilt or tilt adapter, sits between the machine and the attachment and angles it left or right hydraulically. It lets you cut a batter or grade to fall without tracking the machine into position to reach the angle. Aussie Buckets tilt hitches cover 0.8 to 36 tonne excavators.
What tilt hitch fits a 1.7 tonne excavator? The 1.9 to 2.5 tonne build suits most 1.7 tonne machines. It uses 35 to 40 mm pins, weighs 82 kg, tilts a full 180 degrees and delivers 1,600 N.m of drive torque. Every hitch is fabricated to your own pin diameter and centres, so send your pin sizes and we will confirm the match.
What tilt hitch suits a 5 tonne excavator? The 4 to 6.9 tonne build covers a 5 tonne machine. It uses 45 to 50 mm pins, weighs 180 kg, tilts through 180 degrees and delivers 4,400 N.m of drive torque with a 2,000 kg rated lift point capacity. Fitment is confirmed against your machine before the build starts.
How much does a tilt hitch tilt? Aussie Buckets builds up to 10 tonne tilt through a full 180 degrees. The 10 to 25 tonne builds tilt 140 degrees, and the 26 to 36 tonne build tilts 120 degrees. Tilt degree is listed against every size in the specifications, so the figure for your machine class is stated rather than implied.
Is a tilting hitch safe? What locking does it use? Every Aussie Buckets tilting hitch carries three mechanical safety locks that hold the attachment independently of hydraulic pressure, in line with Australian design standards. A loss of hydraulic pressure does not release the attachment. Every build is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support.
Tilt hitch or tiltrotator: which do I need? A tilt hitch angles the attachment left and right on one axis, which covers batters, falls and kerb work. A tiltrotator adds continuous rotation on a second axis, which suits fine finishing and tight-access work at a considerably higher cost. Most Australian civil work is served by a tilt hitch; Aussie Buckets builds attachments for both.
Can I use a tilt hitch on a mini excavator? Yes. The range starts at 0.8 tonne, and the smaller builds tilt a full 180 degrees. Mini machines are where a tilt hitch earns the most, because repositioning a small excavator to reach an angle costs proportionally more time than it does on a large one.
How much does an excavator tilt hitch cost? Aussie Buckets tilting hitches start at $6,975. Price moves with machine size and pin specification, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every hitch is protected by a 5-year warranty. Get a tailored quote against your machine details.
