Constructed with extra heavy-duty steel, fully welded seams, and reinforced hat section and side blades, the Star Industry Heavy Duty Skid-Steer Bucket is designed to be durable and long-lasting. With a close-to-the-ground bottom, it provides efficient 'back dragging' for landscapers.
-
Strong hat section: provides unyielding strength across the entire top of bucket.
-
Steel side blades: strengthens and protects bucket sides.
-
Seams Fully welded: continuous weld inside and outside of shell seams provides greater strength and longer life.
-
Low Profile design: operator can see the leading edge from the seat. Other profiles are also available.
-
Bevelled hard carbon steel punched blade: on leading edge ½” x 6” or ¾” x 6” depending on bucket width.
-
Buckets designed to fit each brand of loader: even though all new skid-steer loaders use a universal quick-tach they require different bucket profiles for proper operation. Star buckets are built to match your specific make & model of skid-steer loader.
-
Strong Universal Quick-Tach: constructed of 3/8” plate steel to stand up to the new more powerful skid-steer loaders.
-
Heavy (½” x 3”) scuff bars: three to five bars, depending on width, reinforce bucket bottom and protect from excessive wear.
- Dual Safety Steps
-
Square bottom: permits “back dragging” to level your work. Sets close to the ground. Landscapers love it.
Available options
- Punched blade with bolt-on-blade: The reversible ⅝” x 8” bolt-on-blade gives 3 times the wear
- Heavy-duty teeth: Features ‘pin-on’ series 23 teeth that measure 2¼ “across the point
