📘 Overview
The Star Industries CS84 cotton seed bucket is the largest-volume bucket in the Star skid steer range, built for other ultra-lite material where density is so low that an ordinary bucket empties the machine of nothing but air. At 32 7/8 inches high and 47 inches deep it carries 40 to 47.1 cubic feet heaped across four widths — 72, 78, 80 and 84 inches. Cotton seed runs around 20 pounds per cubic foot, roughly a fifth the density of soil, so a bucket this size stays well inside machine capacity while cutting the pass count on a gin yard.
⚙ Key Features of the Star Industries CS84 Cotton Seed Bucket
- Four widths: 72, 78, 80 and 84 in, holding 40.0 to 47.1 cu ft heaped
- Tallest back in the Star skid steer range at 32 7/8 in, with a 47 in deep shell
- An ultra lite material bucket and high capacity bucket for gin yards and seed houses
- A light material bucket sized for cotton seed handling at around 20 lb per cubic foot
- A bulk material bucket profile — the skid steer bucket for cotton seed work
- Extra heavy-duty steel with seams continuously welded inside and outside the shell
- Reinforced hat section provides strength across the entire top of the bucket
- Steel side blades strengthen and protect the bucket sides
- Beveled hard carbon steel punched blade on the leading edge
- Heavy 1/2 in x 3 in scuff bars reinforce the bucket bottom, three to five depending on width
- Integrated safety step
- 3/8 in plate universal quick-tach built for higher-powered current skid steer loaders
- Bottom set close to the ground for level back-dragging
🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries CS84 Cotton Seed Bucket
- Nearly twice the volume of the deepest grain bucket — 47.1 cu ft at 84 inches against 41.1 cu ft for the FG78, because ultra-lite material needs cubic feet rather than lift capacity.
- 32 7/8 inches of height is the defining dimension — the tallest back in the Star skid steer range, which is what holds a heap of cotton seed instead of shedding it over the top rail on the lift.
- Built for gin yards and seed houses — the pass count is the whole economics of moving seed, and a bucket carrying half again what a grain bucket holds changes the day rather than the hour.
- An 80 inch width sits between the common sizes — the CS84-80 exists because some seed house doors and bin openings will not clear 84 inches, and dropping to 78 gives away volume unnecessarily.
- Same reinforcement as a digging bucket — hat section, welded seams inside and out, steel side blades and scuff bars, because a seed bucket still meets concrete walls and floors every day.

🔗 Teeth, Blades and Side Cutters for the CS84
Teeth serve no purpose in cotton seed, so the CS84 is supplied plain unless you ask otherwise. Bolt-on teeth add the suffix T and are pin-on series 23 teeth measuring 2 1/4 in across the point, counted by width — 7 at 60 in, 8 at 66 and 72 in, 9 at 78 in, 10 at 84 in. A bolt-on blade adds the suffix BOB: a reversible 5/8 in x 8 in double-bevel blade with fasteners, ordered as BOB60 through BOB84. Side cutters, part LP-SC, are a pair. Replacement tooth PBTA8023, shank adapter PBT1001 and flex pin PBTRP are sold individually.
🚜 Which Skid Steers Fit the CS84 Cotton Seed Bucket?
The CS84 mounts on a 3/8 inch plate universal quick attach coupler, the standard skid steer interface, and fits skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Case, New Holland, Takeuchi, Kubota, Gehl and others using it. No auxiliary hydraulics are required. Because the CS84 is tall as well as wide, check overhead clearance in the shed or gin house as well as door width before choosing a size.

❓ Star Industries CS84 Cotton Seed Bucket Questions, Answered
What is a cotton seed bucket and how is it different?
The Star Industries CS84 is built for ultra-lite material — cotton seed, hulls, and similar product with very low bulk density. At 32 7/8 inches high and 47 inches deep it is the tallest and highest-volume bucket in the Star skid steer range, carrying up to 47.1 cu ft heaped, because with material this light the limit is cubic capacity rather than machine lift.
Why is the CS84 bigger than the FG78 grain bucket?
Cotton seed is lighter than grain. The FG78 tops out at 41.1 cu ft; the CS84 reaches 47.1 cu ft at the same 84 inch width and is nearly six inches taller in the back. That extra height is what holds a heap of seed rather than letting it spill over on the lift.
Which CS84 width should I choose?
The CS84 comes in 72, 78, 80 and 84 inch widths carrying 40.0, 43.6, 44.8 and 47.1 cu ft heaped. Measure the narrowest opening the bucket must pass, then take the widest size that clears. The 80 inch option exists for openings that will not take 84 inches.
Will the CS84 fit through a seed house door?
Check both dimensions. The CS84 is 32 7/8 inches high at the back and 74 3/8 to 86 3/8 inches across the outside depending on width, so overhead clearance matters as much as door width in a shed or gin house. The 72 and 80 inch widths exist for tighter buildings.
Can the CS84 be used for grain or fertilizer?
It can, but the FG78 is the better match. Grain and dry fertilizer are denser than cotton seed, so a full CS84 of grain gets heavy quickly. The CS84 is sized for material around 20 pounds per cubic foot and lighter.
Should the CS84 have teeth?
No. Teeth serve no purpose in seed and leave product behind when scraping a floor. Order the CS84 plain with its smooth beveled punched leading edge.
Does the CS84 need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Star Industries CS84 is a non-hydraulic attachment and mounts on the standard universal quick attach coupler.
Is the CS84 built as strongly as a digging bucket?
Yes. The CS84 uses the same construction as the rest of the Star skid steer range — extra heavy-duty steel, seams welded continuously inside and outside, a reinforced hat section, steel side blades and 1/2 in x 3 in scuff bars across the bottom.
Are Star skid steer buckets universal, or built to my machine?
Both apply. The mount is the standard universal quick attach coupler, so it fits any skid steer or compact track loader using that interface. Star also notes that different loaders need different bucket profiles to work properly, and builds each bucket to suit your specific make and model. Enter your machine make and model at checkout and eskidsteer passes them to Star with the order.
Can the CS84 be ordered with a bolt-on blade?
Yes. Adding the suffix BOB fits a reversible 5/8 in x 8 in double-bevel blade, ordered by width from BOB72 to BOB84. On a seed bucket it is worth adding only if the same bucket also scrapes a concrete floor daily, since that is what wears the lip.
How much does a full CS84 of cotton seed weigh?
Cotton seed runs around 20 pounds per cubic foot, so a CS84-84 holding 47.1 cu ft heaped carries roughly 940 pounds of seed. That is well inside the rated operating capacity of most mid-frame and larger loaders, which is why a bucket this size is practical for ultra-lite material.
