📘 Overview
The Star Industries Skid Steer Concrete Placement Bucket turns your skid loader into a precise concrete placement machine — available in 1/2 cu yd (Model 120) and 3/4 cu yd (Model 125) capacities. No moving parts, no gates to freeze with old concrete, no hydraulics to contaminate with cement dust — just rugged welded steel with 1/2" thick steel bar floor protection, reinforced bucket corners, and an extra-high back that keeps concrete splatter off the loader. Simple to rinse out, simple to maintain. Typically pays for itself on the first pour by eliminating the labor and time of wheelbarrowing concrete to hard-to-reach form locations. 5-year factory guarantee. USA made since 1981.
⚙️ Key Features
- Model 120: 1/2 cu yd | Model 125: 3/4 cu yd
- No moving parts, gates, or hydraulics — nothing to break, freeze, or contaminate with concrete
- 1/2" thick steel bars on bucket bottom — resists abrasion from concrete aggregate
- Reinforced bucket corners — stronger sides for repeated concrete dumping loads
- Extra high back — keeps concrete splatter off the loader and cab
- Universal Quick Attach (SSQA)
- 5-year factory guarantee | USA made since 1981
🔑 Benefits
- Reaches tight and elevated pour locations that wheelbarrows and concrete buggies cannot access — skid steer boom reach and articulation allow the concrete bucket to be positioned directly over forms, columns, footings, and wall panels in locations inaccessible by gravity-fed chute or manual buggy. This is the primary use case: pours in basements, building interiors, behind excavated walls, and around equipment that blocks conventional access.
- No hydraulics means zero contamination risk and zero hydraulic maintenance cost — hydraulically-operated concrete dispensing systems are vulnerable to concrete-contaminated hydraulic fluid, accelerated seal wear from cement abrasive, and freeze-up of moving parts in winter operation. The Star bucket has no hydraulic connections to the attachment — concrete cannot contaminate the system, and cleanup is a simple rinse.
- 1/2" floor bars outlast standard concrete bucket floors in high-abrasion operations — concrete aggregate (especially gravel and crushed stone) is highly abrasive against steel. Standard concrete buckets use thin plate floors that wear through in 50–200 pours in heavy aggregate mixes. The 1/2" bar floor dramatically extends service life in production concrete operations.
- Pays for itself on the first pour by eliminating crew labor for wheelbarrowing — wheelbarrowing 3/4 cu yd of concrete (approximately 2,700 lbs wet) requires multiple crew members and significant labor time on each pour cycle. One operator with the skid steer concrete bucket matches or exceeds this rate with no additional crew required.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility
Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) — compatible with all standard skid steer loaders. Calculate total load weight before use: wet concrete weighs approximately 3,600–4,000 lbs per cu yd depending on mix. A 3/4 cu yd load at 3,800 lbs/cu yd = approximately 2,850 lbs — verify your machine's rated operating capacity covers this plus the bucket weight.
🚜 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system:
| Bobcat | Caterpillar | John Deere | Case |
| New Holland | Takeuchi | Kubota | Gehl |
Always calculate wet concrete weight before loading. Never exceed machine rated operating capacity.
❓ FAQs
|
Q: How do I pour concrete precisely with this bucket?
The concrete bucket pours by tilting the skid steer loader arms and using the loader's hydraulic tilt function to angle the bucket forward. Because there is no gate or separate discharge mechanism, pour rate is controlled entirely by the degree of bucket tilt. Start with a small tilt angle to control flow rate, then increase angle to increase pour speed. For column and form work, approach slowly and position the bucket directly over the form opening before tilting. |
|
Q: What is the wet weight of a full concrete load?
Wet concrete weighs approximately 3,600–4,000 lbs per cubic yard depending on mix design. Model 120 (1/2 cu yd) at full load: approximately 1,800–2,000 lbs of concrete + bucket weight. Model 125 (3/4 cu yd): approximately 2,700–3,000 lbs of concrete + bucket weight. Always verify your machine's rated operating capacity covers the combined weight before loading. |
|
Q: Can this bucket handle stiff or dry concrete mixes?
Yes — the bucket works with all pourable concrete mixes including standard 4-6 inch slump mixes. Very stiff mixes (under 2 inch slump, near-zero slump, roller-compacted concrete) will pour more slowly and may require a steeper tilt angle to initiate flow. The bucket is not designed for bagged dry mix or hardened concrete — only fresh mixed concrete should be loaded. |
|
Q: How do I clean the bucket after use?
Rinse the bucket with water immediately after use before concrete sets. Fresh concrete is easy to rinse; set concrete requires mechanical chipping. A garden hose is sufficient for standard cleanup. The high back and reinforced construction make the bucket suitable for pressure washing. Do not allow concrete to cure in the bucket — hardened concrete accumulation reduces effective capacity and adds weight. |
|
Q: Which size should I choose — 1/2 cu yd or 3/4 cu yd?
Choose based on your machine's rated operating capacity and your typical pour location requirements. The 1/2 cu yd (Model 120) is appropriate for compact and mid-size skid steers or for precise pour applications where a smaller controlled load is preferred. The 3/4 cu yd (Model 125) maximizes productivity on larger machines and for production pours where operator capacity is the limiting factor. Always calculate wet concrete weight vs. machine ROC before selecting size. |
