About this product
Overview
This Paladin Class 200 backhoe bucket is the general-purpose digging bucket for backhoe loaders running a Class 200 coupler. It is offered in 5 sizes, weighing 1,490–2,170 lbs across 5 SKUs. General purpose means exactly that — it digs, loads and backfills in ordinary soil, which is most of what a backhoe does most days.
Key Features of This Paladin Backhoe Bucket
- Class 200 coupler fitment — the standard that decides whether it mounts at all.
- 5 widths so the bucket matches the trench rather than the machine maximum.
- 1,490–2,170 lbs across 5 SKUs.
- General purpose profile — the everyday bucket, not a specialist one.
- Often searched for as a backhoe loader bucket — same product, different trade name.
- Sometimes listed as a class 200 backhoe bucket, which is the term some regions use.
- Buyers also ask for this as a general purpose backhoe bucket.
- Catalogued elsewhere as a backhoe digging bucket — the naming varies more than the product does.
Why Choose This Attachment
- Width should match the trench, not the machine. A backhoe will swing a bucket wider than the trench you need, and every extra inch is spoil you dig, store and put back.
- General purpose beats specialist for mixed work. If the job changes daily, a bucket that does everything adequately outperforms one that does a single thing well and sits idle.
- The coupler class is the fitment question. Class 200 is a standard — establish yours before choosing width, because a Class 100 bucket will not mount whatever size it is.

All three mount on a Class 200 coupler. The difference is what they are shaped to do.

Which Machines Fit This Backhoe Bucket?
This bucket fits backhoe loaders running a Class 200 coupler. No hydraulics are required. At 1,490–2,170 lbs it is a meaningful share of a backhoe's rated lift, so check the loaded figure — a full bucket of wet clay weighs far more than the same bucket of loam.

Backhoe Bucket Questions, Answered
What size backhoe bucket do I need?
Match it to the trench, not the machine. A wider bucket means more spoil to remove, store and return — which costs time on every cycle even though the machine can swing it.
Will a Class 200 bucket fit my machine?
Only if your backhoe runs a Class 200 coupler. Coupler class is the fitment question and it is binary — a Class 100 bucket will not mount on a Class 200 coupler at any width.
What is the difference from the curved version?
The curved profile retains material better on the carry. The straight general-purpose bucket is marginally easier to trim to grade. Both dig equally well.
Can I add teeth?
Bolt-on teeth and side cutters are the intended route. Welding to the shell is permanent and costs you the clean edge for back-dragging and finishing.
How long will it last?
That depends entirely on material. Soil and loam barely mark it; gravel and rock take the cutting edge first, which is why the edge is a replaceable consumable rather than part of the shell.
What is a Class 200 coupler?
A size standard for the interface between machine and attachment. Every Class 200 attachment is cut to the same pattern, so any of them mounts on any Class 200 coupler regardless of which machine carries it.
Should I buy the widest bucket my backhoe can lift?
Rarely. The machine can swing more than the job needs, and every extra inch of width is spoil you dig out, stack somewhere and put back. Match the bucket to the trench.
Does bucket weight matter on a backhoe?
More than on an excavator, because a backhoe is lifting at the end of a longer arm relative to its size. Check the loaded figure at full extension rather than the empty weight.
Is this the same as a backhoe bucket sizes?
Yes — backhoe bucket sizes, backhoe bucket attachments, backhoe bucket for sale all describe this product. Terminology varies by region and trade.
