pretty cut-and-dry experience over all. A good price with solid customer service and quick shipping. I installed my new bucket without any issues at all. I have a thumb on my mini excavator and so one of the pins that came with the bucket did not fit as it was too short. But I simply reused the factory pin that was on my machine. I added a bolt on blade and would have prefered that it wrapped up and connected to the side bucket bolt holes as well for more stability. Right now its just four bolts at the underside of the bucket but this blade may stay fastened just fine. I have not used the bucket yet but it certainly seems like a stought piece so I do have confidence!
