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.

Rock Breaker & Mud Sieve Buckets

After receiving our first order which had a rock breaker and some mud sieve buckets we knew we'd come back for more, just placed the 3rd order, great service and advice from the sales team, the quality and finish of the attachments are better than I can get locally and a better price.

Mechanical Grab

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.

Rock Bucket with Ripper Tooth

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.

Hydraulic Grab

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 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 an excavator spreader bar? An excavator spreader bar is a wide levelling attachment that spreads and grades material across its full width in one pass. It is also called a smudge bar, levelling bar or spreader blade. Aussie Buckets spreader bars come in eleven widths covering 0.8 to 36 tonne machines up to 2400 by 1200.
What size spreader bar suits my excavator? Width follows the work and the machine's ability to carry it loaded at reach. Eleven widths cover 0.8 to 36 tonne machines up to 2400 by 1200, with two size options in every tonnage class. Send your machine make, model, hitch and pin sizes with the surfaces you are levelling and we will match the build.
What is a spreader bar used for? Levelling gravel, road base, topsoil and sand across driveways, pads, trenches and landscaped areas. It brings material to grade across its full width instead of in bucket-width strips, which is where the time is saved on civil, landscaping, plumbing and site preparation work.
Does a spreader bar need hydraulics? No. The spreader bar is a purely mechanical attachment that levels as the machine draws it across the surface, so there is no auxiliary circuit, motor or hoses involved. It pins on like a bucket and can go on any machine in the fleet.
Spreader bar or grader blade: which do I need? A spreader bar is the simpler tool for spreading and levelling loose material to grade. A grader blade is heavier, with a reversible bolt-on edge and reinforced bracket, for finish grading and holding a line on firmer surfaces. Loose material takes the bar; a finished formation takes the blade.
How much does an excavator spreader bar cost? Aussie Buckets spreader bars start at $975 ex GST. Price moves with width and machine class, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every bar is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support. Get a tailored quote against your machine details.
