We have a digger on hire for weekend and cannot change bucket. There's a pin to remove at front. Back bar seems to be held by metal plate. Think ratchet is supposed to release it but turning ratchet doesn't seem to do anything. Any advice?
What digger. Surprised hire place show you how to do it. You don't want boom weight resting on bucket, unlikely you'll move pin. Would have thought it would have a quick coupler.
These guys have a good blog post on how its done - https://rhinox-group.com/blogs/news/how-to-change-a-digger-bucket
make shore the pins are tapered and get a lump hamer line them up best you can with the machine then tap in lift up bucket and move it with your boot and knock it in on a small machine no probs
