length of the backhoe bucket on a Case 530 CK

Dal72 · Aug 6, 2020

I need to order a mechanical thumb for my Case 530 CK backhoe. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I need a 32" or 36" Thumb. My Backhoe is currently parked 180 miles from me and so I cant get to it to measure from at a 90 degree angle from the boom arm to the end of the teeth on the bucket and I have searched online and haven't been able to find the dimension or size online. Thank you in advance for any help

I think you will have to be there and measure your bucket. Way too many bucket options to guess.

Probably the shorter one. Although you could get the longer one and move it up your dipper stick a little. But a lot depends where on your reach you want to pick up say a railroad tie. A back hoe is a lot of compromises anyway.
