Overview

Widely used on Canadian construction sites for rock separation, boulder cleanup, and aggregate handling. The tine spacing is designed to retain rocks while shedding dirt.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You break and move rock, frozen ground, or heavy demolition debris regularly
- You need a bolt-on cutting edge that's replaceable when worn
Skip if
- Your work is mostly topsoil, gravel, and light debris — a GP bucket is lighter and faster
- You need a wider bucket — rock buckets max out around 84 inches for most machines
Also consider
- GP bucket for general-purpose daily work
- Skeleton (rock sieve) bucket if you need to separate fines from rock
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
About Bobcat in Canada
Bobcat is one of the most recognized skid steer brands in Canada, with a dealer presence in every province. Their OEM attachments are engineered specifically for Bobcat machines but use universal SSQA mounts for cross-brand compatibility.
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
- Position bucket face-down on ground
- Drive forward into Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull both lock handles to engage
- Verify orange indicators show LOCKED
- Test lift 6 inches — do not drive until confirmed locked
