John Deere Worksite Pro CB48 Construction Bucket
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
The CB48 is the 48-inch construction bucket in John Deere's Worksite Pro line — built for compact and mini skid steers working in confined spaces, trenches, and areas where a full-width bucket won't fit. At 48 inches, it's the narrowest model in the CB series. The construction bucket design uses heavier steel and reinforced cutting edges compared to utility buckets, making it suitable for tougher material like packed gravel, caliche, and rocky soil. Common application in Canadian utility trenching, basement backfill in tight access, and any job site where working width is constrained. Available in Canada through Brandt.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…

- 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
