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
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach — no auxiliary hydraulics required.

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
