📘 Overview
A fertilizer bucket skid steer operators use for grain, seed and dry product, the Star Industries FG34 is built for light, free-flowing bulk material. At 41 inches deep and 23 1/8 inches high it is a much deeper shell than a dirt bucket, which is what keeps granular product from rolling back over the lip on the lift. Three widths are offered — 60, 66 and 72 inches, holding 20.3, 22.5 and 24.7 cubic feet heaped. Every width can be ordered plain, with bolt-on teeth, or with a bolt-on blade, and construction is the same extra heavy-duty steel with fully welded seams used across the Star skid steer bucket range.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries FG34 Fertilizer and Grain Bucket
- 41 inches of depth is the point of this bucket — fertilizer, grain and seed roll rather than pack, and a 34 inch dirt bucket sheds them off the back of the load as the arms come up. The deeper FG34 shell holds the heap.
- More volume per pass on light material — a 72 inch FG34 carries 24.7 cu ft against 18.0 cu ft for a 72 inch low-profile dirt bucket, because the material weighs little and the limit is cubic capacity rather than machine lift.
- A plain edge is usually the right choice here — teeth leave granular product behind on a shed floor. Order the FG34 without teeth for clean scraping, and add the bolt-on blade only if you also load abrasive material.
- Fully welded seams keep fine material inside — continuous weld inside and outside the shell means fertilizer and seed cannot work into a seam and leak, which is a real cost with product priced by the ton.
- 3/8 inch quick-tach plate takes modern breakout force — the mount is sized for current high-flow skid steers rather than the machines these buckets were originally drawn against.

🔗 Teeth, Blades and Side Cutters for the FG34
Most FG34 buckets leave the factory with a plain edge, because a smooth blade scrapes a shed floor clean where teeth leave granular product behind. 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 Take This Fertilizer Bucket Skid Steer Attachment?
The FG34 mounts on a universal quick attach plate made from 3/8 inch steel — the standard skid steer coupler interface. Star matches the bucket profile to your specific make and model of loader, so enter them at checkout. It fits skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Case, New Holland, Takeuchi, Kubota, Gehl and every other maker using that standard, and needs no auxiliary hydraulics. Match the width to your machine: a bucket at least as wide as the tyres or tracks clears a path for the machine and loads the coupler evenly.

❓ Star Industries FG34 Fertilizer and Grain Bucket Questions, Answered
What is a fertilizer and grain bucket used for?
The Star Industries FG34 is a grain bucket skid steer operators use for light, free-flowing bulk material — dry fertilizer, grain, seed, feed and similar granular product. The 41 inch depth is what separates it from a dirt bucket: granular material rolls back over a shallow lip during the lift, and the deeper shell holds the heap instead.
How is the FG34 different from a dirt bucket the same width?
Depth and height. The FG34 is 41 inches deep and 23 1/8 inches high, against 34 inches deep and 20 1/4 inches high on the LP22A skid steer dirt bucket. At 72 inches wide that is 24.7 cu ft heaped versus 18.0 cu ft — the FG34 carries more because light material fills volume before it reaches the machine lift limit.
Should I order the FG34 with teeth?
Usually not. Teeth leave granular product behind when scraping a shed or bin floor, which is the main use for this bucket. Order the FG34 plain for clean scraping. If the same bucket also loads gravel or abrasive material, the bolt-on blade (suffix BOB) is the better addition.
Which FG34 width should I choose?
The FG34 comes in 60, 66 and 72 inch widths carrying 20.3, 22.5 and 24.7 cu ft heaped. Choose a width at least as wide as your machine tyres or tracks so it clears a path, and check the bucket fits your narrowest shed door or bin opening.
Do I need auxiliary hydraulics for the FG34?
No. The Star Industries FG34 fertilizer and grain bucket is a non-hydraulic attachment. It mounts on the universal quick attach coupler and needs no hydraulic connection.
Will fine material leak from the seams?
The FG34 shell has continuous weld inside and outside every seam, which is what stops fine fertilizer and seed working through a joint. Steel side blades protect the sides and a reinforced hat section runs across the top of the bucket.
What is the FG34 warranty?
The Star Industries FG34 carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA. Star Industries has manufactured attachments in the United States since 1981.
Can I add a bolt-on blade later?
Yes. Bolt-on blades are ordered by width — BOB60, BOB66 or BOB72 for the FG34 — and each is a reversible 5/8 in x 8 in double-bevel blade supplied with fasteners. It bolts to the existing punched leading edge.
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.
