📘 Overview

The Haugen MHDB Heavy Duty skid steer dirt bucket is a low-profile and general-purpose bucket built specifically for the abuse cycle that rental fleets and commercial job sites demand. Available in seven widths from 60" to 96" in two edge configurations — smooth high-carbon cutting edge and tooth bucket with 6–11 Series 23 replaceable-tip weld-on teeth — all in the Heavy Duty series with 1/2" x 3" wear bars on the bottom, 1/4" wrapper and side plates, and a built-in step. Weights range from 570 lbs (smooth, 60") to 730 lbs (smooth, 90") and 630 lbs (tooth, 60") to 782 lbs (tooth, 90"). Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Seven widths: 60", 66", 72", 78", 84", 90", 96" (workbook lists 60–90 with tooth, 60–96 smooth)
  • Two edge options: Smooth 3/4" x 6" high-carbon edge (MHDB) or Tooth (MHDB WT) with 6–11 Series 23 weld-on teeth with replaceable tips
  • Low-profile design for maximum visibility over the bucket
  • 1/2" x 3" wear bars on the bottom for floor wear and extra bottom strength
  • 1/4" bucket wrapper and side plates with extra gusset on leading edge
  • 3/4" x 6" high-carbon cutting edge drilled to accept bolt-on edge
  • Heavy-duty full universal skid steer quick attach plate
  • Built-in step
  • Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

  • Rental-company construction — built for the daily abuse cycle, not light-duty work — the 1/2" x 3" wear bars on the floor, 1/4" wrapper, extra leading-edge gusset, and full quick attach plate are over-engineered relative to economy buckets, which is exactly why Haugen's buckets survive rental fleet cycles that destroy lighter competitors.
  • Series 23 replaceable-tip teeth (WT variant) eliminate full tooth replacement on wear — the tip unscrews or pins off the tooth shank when worn; only the tip is replaced rather than the entire weld-on tooth. On abrasive soils, this cuts tooth maintenance cost per hour significantly.
  • Low-profile design improves operator sightlines to the cutting edge — lower back height gives the operator a clear view of the cutting edge and bucket lip during precision work (final grade leveling, trench bottom cleanup, material pile entry), reducing the risk of over-digging or striking an obstruction.
  • Seven widths cover compact machines (60") through large track loaders (90–96") — with 30 cu ft increments across the range, operators can select the width that maximizes fill per pass without exceeding machine capacity.

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

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.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

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.

❓ FAQs

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."
