📘 Overview
The Star Industries mini skid steer bucket is a low-profile dirt bucket built for the Dingo-style quick-tach used by Dingo, Ditch Witch, Vermeer, Boxer and Ramrod mini loaders. Four widths are offered — 34, 42, 44 and 48 inches, holding 5.5 to 7.8 cubic feet heaped — and each is available plain or with teeth. Construction is 3/16 inch steel plate in both shell and sides with a 3/8 inch by 3 inch cutting blade and a reinforced quick-tach, which is heavier than a mini machine strictly needs and is why these buckets outlast the machine they came with. The square bottom back-drags to level, so the same bucket grades as well as it digs.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Mini Skid Steer Bucket
- 3/16 inch plate on a mini bucket is heavier than the class expects — most mini attachments are built to the machine capacity rather than to the job, and thin shells split at the corner weld. Star uses the same plate thickness through shell and sides.
- The square bottom lets a mini machine finish work — back-dragging is how you level a bed or a pad, and a rounded-bottom bucket cannot do it. This is why the same bucket handles both the digging and the grading on a small site.
- Four widths instead of two — 42 and 48 inch options sit between the common 34 and 44, which matters on a machine where an inch either way decides whether you clear a gate or a garden path.
- Scuff bars take the wear from back-dragging — dragging a bucket backwards across gravel is what wears the bottom through, and the bars are the sacrificial surface that stops it.
- A 3/8 by 3 inch beveled blade on a mini bucket — heavy enough to hold an edge in compacted soil rather than rolling over, which is the usual failure on light mini buckets.

🔗 Other Star Attachments on the Same Dingo-Style Mount
Every Star Dingo-style attachment shares one quick-tach, so anything on this mount swaps onto the same machine without adapters. Alongside the dirt buckets that includes the 122-MINI concrete placement bucket at 1/4 cu yd, the 150-MI-44 skeleton bucket for separating rock from soil, the 175-MI-44 mini grapple bucket and 170-MI-44 mini root grapple, the 110-MINI-ITA fork frame with Class 1 tines, and the 160QT-MSS auger mounting frame. Buying into the mount rather than the single attachment is what makes a mini machine worth owning.
🚜 Which Mini Loaders Fit This Mini Skid Steer Bucket?
These buckets use the Dingo-style mini quick-tach, which fits Dingo, Ditch Witch, Vermeer, Boxer and Ramrod mini loaders. That plate is a different and smaller standard than full-size skid steer universal quick attach, so a full-size bucket will not mount to a mini machine and these buckets will not mount to a skid steer. Bobcat mini loaders use their own separate mount — Star builds the same bucket for that machine as the LP-MINI-BC series. No auxiliary hydraulics are needed for the dirt buckets.
| Mount standard | Machines | Bucket to order |
|---|---|---|
| Dingo-style mini quick-tach | Dingo, Ditch Witch, Vermeer, Boxer, Ramrod | LP-MINI-34, 42, 44 or 48 |
| Mini Bobcat quick-tach | Bobcat mini loaders | LP-MINI-BC-36 or LP-MINI-BC-44 |
| Full-size skid steer SSQA | Skid steers and compact track loaders | Not compatible — use a full-size bucket |
❓ Star Industries Mini Skid Steer Bucket Questions, Answered
Which mini loaders does this bucket fit?
This mini skid steer attachment fits the Dingo-style quick-tach, used by Dingo, Ditch Witch, Vermeer, Boxer and Ramrod mini loaders. Bobcat mini machines use a different mount and take the LP-MINI-BC series instead.
Will a full-size skid steer bucket fit my mini loader?
No. The mini quick-tach is a smaller, separate standard from full-size skid steer universal quick attach, and the two do not interchange in either direction. A mini machine needs a mini bucket.
Which mini bucket width should I choose?
Four widths are offered: 34 in at 5.5 cu ft, 42 in at 6.8, 44 in at 7.2 and 48 in at 7.8. On a mini machine, width is usually decided by the narrowest gate or path on the job rather than by capacity — the 34 inch is the one that fits through a standard garden gate.
Should I get teeth on a mini bucket?
Teeth help in compacted soil, clay and frost, where a smooth edge skids rather than entering. A smooth blade back-drags and grades cleaner. Tooth count follows width: 4 on the 34 inch and 5 on the 42, 44 and 48 inch buckets.
How thick is the steel on a Star mini bucket?
Shell and sides are both 3/16 inch steel plate, with a 3/8 inch by 3 inch beveled hard carbon steel cutting blade and heavy-duty scuff bars across the bottom. Seams are fully welded.
Can this bucket back-drag to level ground?
Yes. The square bottom is what allows it. The bucket pulls flat on the return stroke to level a bed or a pad, which is why one bucket handles both digging and finishing on a small site.
What else fits the same Dingo-style mount?
Star builds a full range on this mount: the 122-MINI concrete placement bucket, the 150-MI-44 skeleton bucket, the 175-MI-44 grapple bucket, the 170-MI-44 root grapple, the 110-MINI-ITA fork frame and the 160QT-MSS auger mounting frame. All swap onto the same machine without adapters.
Do these mini buckets need auxiliary hydraulics?
No. The Star Industries mini dirt buckets are non-hydraulic attachments. Auxiliary hydraulics are only needed for the powered attachments on the same mount, such as the mini grapple bucket and mini root grapple.
What warranty comes with a Star mini bucket?
The Star Industries mini skid steer bucket carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
