"Lift And Sift" Bucket For Skid Steer Loaders
The quick tach bucket is different from conventional models in that it has an open back side formed from steel rods. Also, the digging teeth on front have replaceable tips. The 2-in. wide, 4-in. long teeth are similar in design to the ones used on backhoes and excavators. The tips can be replaced simply by using a punch to drive out a pin.
"The teeth are supported by a separate steel plate which keeps them from bending as the bucket digs into the ground. The teeth on other rock buckets stick out from the bucket with nothing to support them, which allows them to bend under pressure.
"The bucket is available with or without a grapple. It's equipped with a universal quick tach plate that fits any current skid steer model. If you have an older style skid steer loader you'll need to make an adapter plate."
Available in widths from 54 to 78 in. The grapple bucket is available in 70 and 78-in. widths.
Prices vary from $2,300 to $3,500, depending on size and whether it's equipped with a grapple.
