📘 Overview
As a snow bucket skid steer owners run all winter, the Star Industries SL37 is sized for the density of what it carries rather than the strength needed to dig it. Snow, mulch, wood chips and compost weigh a fraction of soil per cubic foot, so the SL37 runs a 42 1/2 inch deep shell at 24 3/4 inches high and holds 22.9 to 27.9 cubic feet heaped in 60, 66 and 72 inch widths. The bottom sits close to the ground for level back-dragging, which is what clears a lot or a yard cleanly in one pass.
⚙ Key Features of the Star Industries SL37 Snow and Light Material Bucket
- Three widths: 60, 66 and 72 in, holding 22.9 to 27.9 cu ft heaped
- 42 1/2 in deep shell at 24 3/4 in outside height, sized for low-density material
- A skid loader snow bucket that doubles as a light material bucket skid steer crews use year round
- A snow removal attachment needing no hydraulics — it mounts on the standard coupler
- 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 SL37 Snow and Light Material Bucket
- Volume is the constraint with snow, not weight — snow runs roughly a fifth the density of soil, so a bucket this size stays comfortably inside machine capacity while moving far more per pass than a dirt bucket would.
- Back-dragging is what actually clears a surface — the bottom sits close to the ground so the bucket pulls back level, which is how you finish a lot rather than leaving windrows behind each pass.
- Order it plain for snow — teeth catch on pavement seams, gravel and manhole covers, and leave a ridged surface. The smooth punched leading edge is the correct edge for clearing.
- The same bucket handles mulch and compost year round — light material is light material, so a bucket bought for winter clearing earns its keep through the landscaping season.
- 3/8 inch plate quick-tach handles the shock of hitting a buried obstacle — snow hides kerbs and frozen ridges, and the reinforced mount is where that impact goes.

🔗 Teeth, Blades and Side Cutters for the SL37
An SL37 should almost always be ordered plain: teeth catch on pavement seams and kerbs, and a smooth edge is what lets the bucket back-drag a surface clean. 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 Snow Bucket Skid Steer Attachment?
The SL37 mounts on a 3/8 inch plate universal quick attach coupler, the standard skid steer interface. Star builds the bucket profile to match your make and model, 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 other makers using that coupler, and needs no auxiliary hydraulics. For snow clearing choose a width at least as wide as the machine so the tracks or tyres run on cleared ground.

❓ Star Industries SL37 Snow and Light Material Bucket Questions, Answered
Is the SL37 a snow bucket or a light material bucket?
Both — it is the same bucket. This skid steer snow bucket is built for anything low in density: snow, mulch, wood chips, compost, bark and similar. What defines it is the 42 1/2 inch depth and 24 3/4 inch height, which give volume rather than digging strength.
Why not just use a dirt bucket for snow?
A dirt bucket is sized for dense material, so it hits machine lift capacity before it fills. At 72 inches the SL37 carries 27.9 cu ft against 18.0 cu ft for the LP22A dirt bucket — with snow at roughly a fifth the density of soil, the larger bucket is still well inside capacity and moves far more per pass.
Should a snow bucket have teeth?
No. Teeth catch on pavement seams, gravel, kerbs and manhole covers, and leave a ridged surface behind. Order the SL37 plain with its smooth beveled punched edge, which is what lets the bucket back-drag a surface clean.
Which SL37 width should I choose for snow clearing?
The SL37 comes in 60, 66 and 72 inch widths. For clearing, pick a width at least as wide as your machine so the tracks or tyres run on ground the bucket has already cleared. The 72 inch SL37-72 carries 27.9 cu ft heaped.
Can the SL37 be used for mulch and compost in summer?
Yes, and that is a large part of the value. Mulch, wood chips, compost and bark are all light material, so a bucket bought for winter clearing works through the landscaping season on the same machine.
Does the SL37 need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Star Industries SL37 snow and light material bucket is a non-hydraulic attachment that mounts on the standard universal quick attach coupler.
What protects the bucket when it hits something buried under snow?
The mount is a 3/8 inch plate universal quick-tach built for current higher-powered machines, and the bucket carries a reinforced hat section across the top, steel side blades and 1/2 in x 3 in scuff bars across the bottom. The beveled hard carbon steel punched leading edge takes the first contact.
Is a bolt-on blade worth adding to a snow bucket?
For pure snow work, usually not — the punched edge is already correct. If the bucket also moves gravel or abrasive material, a reversible 5/8 in x 8 in bolt-on blade (BOB60, BOB66 or BOB72) protects the lip and roughly triples edge life.
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.
Are side cutters worth adding to a snow bucket?
Side cutters, part LP-SC, are sold as a pair and bolt to the bucket corners. On snow work they matter most if you regularly push against kerbs or walls, since the corners take that contact first. For open-lot clearing the standard steel side blades are usually enough.
