View on virnig.com →
Overview
The Virnig V60 48-inch snow bucket moves and loads snow on compact skid steers working tight driveways, walkways, and small lots. The high-sided design holds a full load of snow before dumping. Smooth bottom edge suits clean paved surfaces. Compatible with standard skid steer hydraulics via universal SSQA mount. Suited for operators needing a compact snow-moving bucket on smaller machines where an angled blade or large pusher is not practical. Made in Minnesota and available in Canada through Virnig's dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You move high-volume, low-density material: mulch, wood chips, snow, or loose compost
- You want more cubic yards per pass without exceeding your machine's weight limit
⛔ Skip if…
- Your material is heavy (gravel, soil, rock) — the thin bucket walls will wear fast
- You need a bucket that doubles for digging or grading
🔍 Also consider…
- GP bucket if you split time between light and heavy material
- Snow pusher if snow moving is your primary winter task
🔧 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
