Need another (maybe two) heavy duty bucket for CTL. Looking at 78" or 84". I've got the Bradco Heavy Duty on the TAK. Its well made but just double checking on the dealer's pricing.

Give up the 411 on your favorite place to buy these. I do not want anything cheap.

BTW-The work volume is up, I'm estimating and looking at quite a few things. I was talking with my Komatsu Dealer today on a rental rate for a WA250 wheel loader and he said things were very, very busy the past 3 weeks. They shipped 8 rental machines yesterday and today.

If you want a heavy duty bucket you are better off having one custom made to your specifications. You can have it spec'ed so you want thicker bucket cheeks a heavier lip on the bucket.

Get a combo bucket, it's the last bucket you will ever need, Cat or Bobcat's and Virnig are really nice, they are thicker all around and the balance any CTL out better, I have a Bobcat 66" combo that came with my T190 new in 2003 and it's on the 3rd skid steer now.
Bradco buckets are also much better made than Bobcat's regular C/I buckets, much thicker cheeks and bottom plates.

We have a Bobcat Heavy Duty C/I Bucket 80" for our S330. We use it heavily in tore up asphalt piles and its holding up well. Have about 300 hours of use on it and its hold up well compared to a regular bobcat bucket. Taller back and shorter lip so its not the best for forward grading in dirt or stone but is possible. But excellent for moving stock piles, specially big rock type or asphalt.
my 2 cents:waving:

to add to ron's idea, if you have a secondary set of hydraulics, put a tilt tatch between your quick pins and the 4n1 . I am going to go that route in the near future. I have a 66" combo bucket and I like it. It's heavy but well made (bobcat branded but not sure who makes it).

I bought a Bradco 80" heavy duty last year after needing a bigger bucket with vts and can say its probably the last bucket I will buy very heavy duty and takes the abuse I give it very well!

I wish I could find a good online source thought because it was an arm and leg through my dealer.

Virnig and Allitec both make excellent buckets. A guy here has an Allitec on his VTS 70XT. I really liked that bucket. Built much like the Bradco.

Move vote goes to bradco as well. They make some nice buckets.

dealer wanted 1,800 for 84" bradco w/o teeth if I remember correctly. might have just been the 78", I'm busy and tired so memory is off.

USA Attachments do a good job on excavator buckets and they have good prices on skid steer buckets. They may be someone to call?

Ok, I'll bite, send me a PM on it, include shipping to 37920 zip code.....

It looks interesting, not sure how interesting though. We use our buckets for mostly digging and backfill but I can see a few uses from previous projects.
