John Deere Worksite Pro R66 Rock BucketPremium
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
John Deere's 66-inch rock bucket in the Worksite Pro line. Built for heavy-duty material — shot rock, demolition rubble, and abrasive aggregate that would wear through a GP bucket quickly. Heavier AR steel construction, reinforced floor, and a bolt-on cutting edge that can be replaced in the field when worn. The 66-inch width keeps loads within ROC on mid-frame machines even with dense material. Available in Canada through Brandt.

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
Designed for John Deere 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
