Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You break and move rock, frozen ground, or heavy demolition debris regularly
- You need a bolt-on cutting edge that's replaceable when worn
⛔ Skip if…
- Your work is mostly topsoil, gravel, and light debris — a GP bucket is lighter and faster
- You need a wider bucket — rock buckets max out around 84 inches for most machines
🔍 Also consider…
- GP bucket for general-purpose daily work
- Skeleton (rock sieve) bucket if you need to separate fines from rock
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

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
How to Connect
- Position bucket face-down on ground
- Drive forward into Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull both lock handles to engage
- Verify orange indicators show LOCKED
- Test lift 6 inches — do not drive until confirmed locked
⚠ Safety NoteBob-Tach / Bob-Lock verification is critical — look for orange indicator pins fully engaged
