✓ No hydraulics required
✓ Fits most skid steers, including small-frame
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
The UB66 is a 66-inch utility bucket for lighter material handling where heavy-duty construction steel isn't needed and every pound of bucket weight is a pound less you can carry. Suited for topsoil, mulch, compost, snow, sawdust, and other low-density materials that don't demand the wear resistance of a CB bucket. At 66 inches it fits mid-frame machines well and handles the everyday tasks on landscaping, farm, and municipal jobs. Lighter construction keeps operating costs down when you're not doing the kind of work that chews up equipment.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need one versatile bucket for gravel, soil, concrete chunks, and general debris
- Your machine is mid-frame (S450–S650 class) or CTL
⛔ Skip if…
- You work primarily in rock, frozen ground, or heavy demolition — a rock bucket handles that better
- You need clamshell/4-in-1 functionality
🔍 Also consider…
- Rock bucket if your primary work is shot rock or frozen ground
- 4-in-1 (multipurpose) bucket if you also need occasional grading or clamshell action
🔧 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
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
