Heres a couple of pics of the new 14 yard Jones built bucket for our 5110. We can 4 pass load the 605 Komatsu's to 72 tons. Makes for some cheap muck!

Its a dry fluffly black sand. There was some volcanic ash in the top couple feet cause we are only about 100 miles from St. Helens,
Some of the stuff we were hitting in this lift kinda looked like bentonite. The water wagons sure stay busy to keep the trucks moving. They back in just like the haul trucks, flood the floor and help wheel walk a path.

That's a nice big looking bucket, thanks for sharing. Just funny to see such a large machine and the bucket has no teeth. I take it this is for the softer material jobs, or can you put on teeth if needed?
