Extreme Duty Bucket perfect for all types of applications

The Star Industries Extreme Duty Skid Steer Bucket is renowned for its unmatched durability and lasting performance. Constructed with an extra 25% heavier bucket shell, AR400 heel plate and AR400 wear bars, reinforced quick-tach and an 80% heavier cutting edge, it can withstand even the harshest treatment with ease.

The bucket also has fully welded seams and reinforced hat section and side blades to strengthen and protect bucket sides. The shell is rolled for easy clean out. Bolt-On-Blade is optional.

1. Strong hat section: provides unyielding strength across the entire top of bucket.
2. Steel side blades: strengthens and protects bucket sides.
3. Seams Fully welded: continuous weld inside and outside of shell seams provides greater strength and longer life.
4. Low Profile design: operator can see the leading edge from the seat. Other profiles are also available.
5. 1” x 8” Cutting Edge
6. 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.
7. Strong Universal Quick-Tach: constructed of 3/8” plate steel to stand up to the new more powerful skid-steer loaders.
8. Scuff Bars – ½” Thick
9. Square bottom: permits “back dragging” to level your work. Sets close to the ground. Landscapers love it.
10. Heal Plate – ½” AR400 

Available options

• Side Cutting Teeth – Bolt-On
• 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
