Overview
Bobcat's 84-inch light material bucket is a wide-mouth, high-sided bucket for large-volume moves of low-density material. Sized for large-frame skid steers doing compost, mulch, wood chip, and loose snow work. The high side walls increase per-pass volume without increasing cycle time. Available through Bobcat's Canadian dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You move high-volume, low-density material: mulch, wood chips, snow, or loose compost
- You want more cubic yards per pass without exceeding your machine's weight limit
⛔ Skip if…
- Your material is heavy (gravel, soil, rock) — the thin bucket walls will wear fast
- You need a bucket that doubles for digging or grading
🔍 Also consider…
- GP bucket if you split time between light and heavy material
- Snow pusher if snow moving is your primary winter task
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

Care & Maintenance
- Grease the bucket pin and hinge points every 20 hours of use — dry pins wear oval and cause slop in the carrier, which transfers shock to the coupler
- Inspect the cutting edge for wear after work in rock, frozen ground, or hard fill — replace or flip bolt-on edges when worn to 50% of original thickness
- Check coupler latch engagement before every use — a partially latched bucket can release under load
- Clean debris from behind the cutting edge to prevent buildup that warps the edge over time; dried material also traps moisture against bare steel
- Inspect sidewall and base plate welds for cracking after heavy rock or demolition work — cracks spread rapidly if caught late
