ABSTRACT:
To excavate sticky soil such as clayey soil, left and right buckets of a clamshell bucket are slightly inclined, thereby reducing the force to pull the buckets from a hole. The clamshell bucket includes left and right buckets which are closable, thereby holding soil, and a hydraulic cylinder having a stroke reserve so as to be further extendible after the buckets are closed, whereby the closed buckets can be displaced sidewardly relative to the vertical.
