📘 Overview
The Star Industries SL40 is the high capacity skid steer snow bucket — 44 inches deep, 27 3/4 inches high, and available in 66, 72, 78 and 84 inch widths holding 29.3 to 37.8 cubic feet heaped. It is the bucket for contractors clearing car parks and commercial lots where the job is measured in acres and the number of passes decides how long the site takes. Against the SL37 it adds three inches of height and roughly a quarter more volume at matching widths, and it extends to 84 inches where the SL37 stops at 72.
⚙ Key Features of the Star Industries SL40 High Capacity Snow Bucket
- Four widths: 66, 72, 78 and 84 in, holding 29.3 to 37.8 cu ft heaped
- 44 in deep shell at 27 3/4 in outside height — three inches taller than the SL37
- A large snow bucket and high capacity bucket for commercial lot clearing
- Doubles as a light material bucket for mulch, chips and compost out of season
- A skid loader snow bucket and snow removal attachment needing no hydraulics
- 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 SL40 High Capacity Snow Bucket
- Roughly a quarter more per pass than the SL37 — 32.1 cu ft against 27.9 at 72 inches, which on a commercial lot is the difference between finishing before opening and not.
- 84 inch width for machines that can carry it — the SL40-84 at 37.8 cu ft is the widest snow bucket in the Star range and clears a full lane per pass on a larger frame loader.
- 27 3/4 inch height holds a taller heap — three inches more than the SL37, which matters most when pushing accumulated snow rather than scraping a thin layer.
- Smooth punched edge back-drags a lot clean — the bottom sits close to the ground, so the bucket finishes a surface on the pull rather than leaving a windrow at every pass.
- Same reinforcement as the digging buckets — hat section, steel side blades and 1/2 in x 3 in scuff bars, because a snow bucket meets kerbs and frozen ridges that a light-duty shell will not survive.

🔗 Teeth, Blades and Side Cutters for the SL40
Like the SL37, the SL40 clears best on a plain edge, because teeth ridge a hard surface and catch on kerbs and manhole covers. 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 Machines Fit This Skid Steer Snow Bucket?
The SL40 mounts on a 3/8 inch plate universal quick attach coupler and fits skid steer loaders and compact track loaders from Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Case, New Holland, Takeuchi, Kubota, Gehl and other makers using that standard. No auxiliary hydraulics are needed. Match width to machine frame size: the 84 inch SL40 suits larger loaders that can carry a full bucket without unloading the rear axle.

❓ Star Industries SL40 High Capacity Snow Bucket Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the SL40 and the SL37 snow bucket?
Size. As a snow bucket skid steer contractors run on large lots, the SL40 is 44 inches deep and 27 3/4 inches high against 42 1/2 and 24 3/4 on the SL37, and it runs from 66 to 84 inches wide where the SL37 covers 60 to 72. At 72 inches that is 32.1 cu ft heaped versus 27.9 — around a quarter more per pass.
Which snow bucket width suits a commercial car park?
For lot clearing, width decides how many passes the job takes. The SL40 goes to 84 inches at 37.8 cu ft heaped, which clears a full lane on a larger frame loader. Choose a width at least as wide as the machine so the tyres or tracks run on cleared ground.
Can any skid steer run an 84 inch snow bucket?
The universal quick attach coupler fits any machine using that standard, but an 84 inch bucket loaded with wet snow puts real weight well forward of the coupler. Larger frame loaders handle it comfortably; on a compact machine the 66 or 72 inch SL40 is the better match.
Should a high capacity snow bucket have teeth?
No. On hard surfaces teeth catch on pavement seams, kerbs and manhole covers and leave the surface ridged. The SL40 clears best with its standard smooth beveled punched edge.
What else can the SL40 move besides snow?
Any low-density material — mulch, wood chips, compost, bark, peat and similar. The SL40 is sized by volume rather than digging strength, so it works year round on light material and is not intended for soil or aggregate.
Does the SL40 need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Star Industries SL40 is a non-hydraulic attachment and mounts on the standard universal quick attach coupler.
Is a bolt-on blade available for the SL40?
Yes. Reversible 5/8 in x 8 in double-bevel bolt-on blades are ordered by width as BOB66, BOB72, BOB78 or BOB84 and include fasteners. They are worth adding if the bucket also handles abrasive material; for pure snow work the punched edge is already correct.
What warranty applies to the SL40?
The Star Industries SL40 high capacity snow bucket carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
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.
Will the SL40 fit through a standard gate or alley?
Check the outside width, not the nominal size. An SL40-66 measures 68 3/8 in across the outside and an SL40-84 measures 86 3/8 in, so a nominal 72 in gate will not pass the 72 in bucket. Measure the narrowest point on the route before choosing a width.
How is a snow bucket shipped and how do I order?
