Blue Diamond 84-Inch General Purpose Bucket

Overview

Blue Diamond's 84-inch general purpose bucket is a high-volume digging and carrying bucket for large-frame skid steers. The wider bucket carries more material per load, reducing cycle count on bulk earthwork and site grading jobs. Blue Diamond products are available through Canadian dealers and direct shipping. A productive option for operators doing high-volume material moves on construction and demolition sites.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You need one versatile bucket for gravel, soil, concrete chunks, and general debris
  • Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S650 class) or CTL

Skip if

  • You work primarily in rock, frozen ground, or heavy demolition — a rock bucket handles that better
  • You need clamshell/4-in-1 functionality

Also consider

  • Rock bucket if your primary work is shot rock or frozen ground
  • 4-in-1 (multipurpose) bucket if you also need occasional grading or clamshell action
Machine Compatibility

Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance

  • Grease the bucket pin and hinge points every 20 hours of use — dry pins wear oval and cause slop in the carrier, which transfers shock to the coupler
  • Inspect the cutting edge for wear after work in rock, frozen ground, or hard fill — replace or flip bolt-on edges when worn to 50% of original thickness
  • Check coupler latch engagement before every use — a partially latched bucket can release under load
  • Clean debris from behind the cutting edge to prevent buildup that warps the edge over time; dried material also traps moisture against bare steel
  • Inspect sidewall and base plate welds for cracking after heavy rock or demolition work — cracks spread rapidly if caught late

How to Connect

  1. Position bucket face-down on ground
  2. Drive forward into Bob-Tach receiver arms
  3. Pull both lock handles to engage
  4. Verify orange indicators show LOCKED
  5. Test lift 6 inches — do not drive until confirmed locked
Safety NoteBob-Tach / Bob-Lock verification is critical — look for orange indicator pins fully engaged
