Will any bucket fit my skid steer?
Almost all modern skid steers use the Universal Quick Attach system, which makes fitment simple. If you have an older model or a rare coupler setup, you might need an adapter.
How many yards is a skid steer bucket?
Depends on size. Most hold between 0.4 to 0.8 cubic yards. Think of it as roughly half a yard per scoop, but that jumps up with larger buckets.
Can I use these buckets on a track loader (CTL)?
Yes, if your machine uses a standard quick attach, the buckets will mount with no problem. Attachments are generally interchangeable between skid steers and CTLs.
What size skid steer bucket should I get?
Pick a bucket your loader can handle fully loaded. Start with your machine’s specs and your target material weight, and we’ll help you size it correctly.
Do I need a heavy-duty bucket or will standard duty do?
For basic landscaping or snow removal, standard duty is great. If your bucket is taking daily abuse, like demo, concrete, or rocky ground—you’ll want a reinforced build.
Which bucket is right for my job site?
For general dirt moving, a Low Profile bucket offers excellent visibility. For harsh conditions like demolition or recycling yards, we recommend an Extreme Duty bucket with AR400 steel reinforcement to prevent premature wear and warping.
Should I choose teeth or a smooth edge?
Choose teeth for digging into hard-packed soil, clay, or rocky terrain as they penetrate better. Choose a smooth edge (or a bolt-on cutting edge) for grading, leveling, and working on finished surfaces like asphalt or concrete to avoid damage.
How do I measure my bucket size?
Measure the inside width of the bucket to match your machine's track width. You generally want a bucket that is wider than your tracks to cover your tire paths while digging.
