John Deere Worksite Pro MP78 Multi-Purpose Bucket
Overview
The MP78 is a 78-inch 4-in-1 multi-purpose bucket for large-frame skid steers and CTLs that need maximum versatility in a single attachment. The hydraulic bottom panel opens into a clamshell for grabbing brush, rock, demolition rubble, and loose pipe — then closes to function as a standard bucket for digging and loading. Works as a backfill blade or dozer when partially or fully closed. At 78 inches you're getting the coverage of a wide bucket with all the flexibility of the 4-in-1 design. Requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You want one bucket that can grab, grade, spread, and load without switching attachments
- You do finish grading or move loose material piles on the same site
⛔ Skip if…
- Your priority is capacity and speed — a GP bucket moves more per cycle
- The added weight of the 4-in-1 mechanism pushes you near your machine's ROC limit
🔍 Also consider…
- GP bucket if capacity per cycle is more important than versatility
- Industrial grapple if bulk debris handling is a bigger priority than bucket work
Designed for John Deere machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
