It handles the same range of materials as larger GP buckets: gravel, sand, soil, and loose debris. Bolt-on cutting edge is replaceable. Available new through authorized Bobcat dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need one versatile bucket for gravel, soil, concrete chunks, and general debris
- Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S650 class) or CTL
⛔ Skip if…
- You work primarily in rock, frozen ground, or heavy demolition — a rock bucket handles that better
- You need clamshell/4-in-1 functionality
🔍 Also consider…
- Rock bucket if your primary work is shot rock or frozen ground
- 4-in-1 (multipurpose) bucket if you also need occasional grading or clamshell action
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
