Does anyone know if backhoe buckets would fit on a mini hoe?? There off of a Cat 420 and I was wondering if they would fit a 305 CCR.
Thanks

Providing the pins are the same diameter and the 'dipper' gap between the lugs on the bucket are the same then they should fit without causing excessive wear to your machine.

If you run a quick hitch then you will need to ensure that the pin centres on the backhoe buckets are the same as your current excavator buckets.
