McConnell ditch king tile drain bucket wanted

[Classic machinery farmer]

Hi an anyone help I am looking for a tile drain bucket off a fairly late McConnell ditch king. It’s a very narrow v bucket that tapers down to about 4inch 100mm in the bottom I guess, I am based in Kent, south east area
Many thanks.

Too far away to help - but could give you photos if you wanted to make one. It was completely useless in clay soil. Single big tooth on the front and an ejector plate inside.

We have one of these, we modified it 20+ years ago to fit a 3 t mini digger. At the same time we scrapped the ejector mechanism.
We are on the Kent Sussex border if you want to see the bucket with a view to fabricating one.

I may also be able to get photos of one of these if it's still where I think it is, will post here if I can.

In clay soil you just want a Clay spade

Ideally the trench want to have a v shaped bottom which tiling buckets form, rather than just having the pipe sitting on a flat bottomed trench with no support for the pipe

Yes a single tooth on the spade for the pipe to sit in
