    Where to get bucket for Kubota KX057/U55?

    yes . they work with the stock thumb. My Kubota rep ordered them for me. I have a custom built 15" and a 30' ditch cleaning bucket. WBs buckets are cheaper than the Kubota built and I feel theyre a little better quality. so you get a bit better and save a little money

    Mini Excavator for digging pine stumps

    Looking at buying a Kubota U35

    I like the U35 I demoed one but it was too big for some of my work and too small for other stuff. I think its a good intermediate mini plenty if power, quiet and reliable. I own a U25 and a U55 and love both machines. I would say if the U35 has similar size specs to your 334 you'll be happy.
