📘 Overview
The Star Industries LP22A is the low profile skid steer dirt bucket in the Star range — the general-purpose digging and grading bucket most operators reach for first. Its defining feature is height: at 20 1/4 inches the back is the lowest in the range, which is what lets the operator see the leading edge from the seat while grading. The bottom sets close to the ground for level back-dragging. Five widths run from 60 to 84 inches, holding 15.0 to 21.0 cubic feet heaped, and every width is available plain, with teeth, or with a bolt-on blade.
⚙ Key Features of the Star Industries LP22A Low Profile Dirt Bucket
- Five widths: 60, 66, 72, 78 and 84 in, holding 15.0 to 21.0 cu ft heaped
- Lowest back in the Star range at 20 1/4 in — the operator sights the cutting edge from the seat
- Square bottom sets close to the ground for level back-dragging
- A skid steer low profile bucket and back drag bucket in one — grade and finish with the same shell
- Built to the same heavy duty skid steer bucket standard as the rest of the Star range
- 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 LP22A Low Profile Dirt Bucket
- You can see the cutting edge from the seat — a 20 1/4 inch back is low enough to sight over while grading, which is the whole reason a low-profile bucket exists and why landscapers specify it.
- The square bottom back-drags level — the shell sets close to the ground so the bucket pulls a surface flat on the return stroke, finishing a pad or a lawn rather than leaving ridges.
- Three edges from one bucket — plain for clean scraping and back-dragging, teeth for compacted soil and frost, or the reversible bolt-on blade for abrasive material. The punched leading edge is drilled to take the blade whenever you decide to add one.
- 34 inches of depth is right for dense material — soil and aggregate reach machine lift capacity long before they fill a deep loose-material bucket, so extra depth on a dirt bucket is weight you carry for nothing.
- Scuff bars take the abrasion back-dragging causes — three to five 1/2 in x 3 in bars across the bottom, which is exactly where a bucket used for grading wears through first.

🔗 Teeth, Blades and Side Cutters for the LP22A
The LP22A is the bucket where the edge choice matters most, because the same shell grades, back-drags and digs depending on what you put on the front. 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 Dirt Bucket?
The LP22A 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 coupler. Star notes that different loaders need different bucket profiles to work properly and builds each bucket to match your make and model, so enter them at checkout. No auxiliary hydraulics are needed. Choose a width at least as wide as your tyres or tracks so the bucket clears a path for the machine.

❓ Star Industries LP22A Low Profile Dirt Bucket Questions, Answered
What is a low profile skid steer bucket for?
The Star Industries LP22A is the general-purpose dirt bucket skid steer operators use for digging and grading. Its 20 1/4 inch back is the lowest in the Star range, so the operator can see the cutting edge from the seat while grading, and the square bottom sets close to the ground for level back-dragging.
Which LP22A width should I order?
The LP22A comes in 60, 66, 72, 78 and 84 inch widths holding 15.0 to 21.0 cu ft heaped. Pick a width at least as wide as your machine tyres or tracks so the bucket clears a path, then check it fits the narrowest gate on your usual sites — outside width runs 62 3/8 to 86 3/8 inches.
Should the LP22A have teeth?
A skid steer bucket with teeth suits compacted soil, frost and material that needs breaking before it will load. A plain edge back-drags and scrapes cleaner, which matters for grading and finish work. Many operators keep a plain bucket for grading and add teeth to a second bucket rather than compromising one.
What is the difference between the LP22A and a utility bucket?
Height and depth. The LP22A is 20 1/4 inches high and 34 inches deep at 15.0 to 21.0 cu ft. The UT31 utility bucket is 23 1/2 inches high at the same 34 inch depth and carries 17.0 to 24.2 cu ft. The LP22A trades volume for visibility over the edge; the UT31 trades visibility for volume.
Can I add a bolt-on blade to the LP22A later?
Yes. The beveled hard carbon steel leading edge is punched, so a reversible 5/8 in x 8 in double-bevel bolt-on blade bolts straight to it. Order BOB60, BOB66, BOB72, BOB78 or BOB84 to match the bucket width; fasteners are included.
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.
Does the LP22A need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Star Industries LP22A dirt bucket is a non-hydraulic attachment and mounts on the standard universal quick attach coupler.
What is the integrated safety step for?
The LP22A carries an integrated safety step as part of the bucket structure, giving a defined place to stand when climbing in or out of the cab over the attachment rather than using the bucket lip.
How many teeth does an LP22A take?
Tooth count follows width: 7 at 60 inches, 8 at 66 and 72, 9 at 78 and 10 at 84. They are pin-on series 23 teeth measuring 2 1/4 inches across the point, and replacement tooth PBTA8023, shank adapter PBT1001 and flex pin PBTRP are sold individually.
