The MHDB uses the Universal Quick Attach system. The full-size quick attach plate is over-engineered relative to economy buckets — the plate engages all locking points on the skid steer coupler for maximum retention. Verify the bucket width matches or slightly exceeds your machine's track/tire width for complete coverage on grading passes.
Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders equipped with a Universal Quick Attach system, including:
| Bobcat | Caterpillar | John Deere | Case |
| New Holland | Takeuchi | Kubota | Gehl |
Compatibility is determined by mount type — confirm your machine's Universal Quick Attach configuration before ordering.

Q: Should I choose the smooth edge (MHDB) or tooth bucket (MHDB WT)?
Choose the smooth cutting edge (MHDB) for: clean grading, finish work, material loading from stockpiles, concrete slab cleanup, and applications where a consistent edge contact is needed. Choose the tooth bucket (MHDB WT) for: excavation, digging into compacted fill, breaking frozen ground, rocky subsoil, and applications where penetration is more important than a clean finished grade. The WT adds 60–52 lbs over the smooth version and increases dig capability significantly. |
|
Q: What are Series 23 teeth with replaceable tips?
Series 23 is a weld-on tooth system where each tooth consists of a permanent tooth shank (welded to the bucket cutting edge) and a replaceable tip that attaches to the shank with a pin or bolt. When the tip wears out from abrasion, only the tip is replaced — not the entire tooth and shank assembly. This significantly reduces wear part cost and allows field tip replacement without grinding equipment. |
|
Q: What size should I choose?
Match bucket width to your machine's track or tire width for complete pass coverage. The 60–66" range fits compact skid steers. The 72" covers most mid-size machines. The 78–84" suits full-size track loaders. The 90–96" is for the largest machines. Also verify your machine's lift capacity can handle the bucket weight plus the expected payload — the MHDB 90 WT at 782 lbs empty is already a significant payload against smaller machines. |
|
Q: Can I add a bolt-on cutting edge to the smooth version?
Yes — the 3/4" x 6" high-carbon cutting edge is drilled to accept a bolt-on edge overlay. Contact eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337 to order the bolt-on edge for your specific bucket width. |
|
Q: Are these the same buckets used by rental companies?
Yes — Haugen's Direct Link dealer listing on skidsteersdirect.com specifically calls out that rental companies choose these buckets for their fleets because of the heavy-duty construction that survives repeated daily machine cycling. The 1/2" wear bars, 1/4" wrapper, and full quick attach plate are over-engineered relative to economy alternatives specifically to survive rental abuse. |
|
Q: Is this attachment made in the USA?
Yes — all Haugen Attachments are made in the USA with quality American steel at Marv Haugen Enterprises in Casselton, North Dakota. "Think Quality - Think Safety - Think Haugen." |
