The Star Industries mini skid steer buckets are designed for heavy - duty performance, meeting the most demanding applications. Crafted from heavy - duty 3/16” steel plate, they come with an extra - tough 3/8 x 3” cutting blade and a reinforced quick - tach for long - lasting use and top - notch performance. The bucket features 3/16” steel plate for the shell and sides, a 3/8” x 3” cutting blade, a depth of 28 3/8”, and a height of 18 ¾”. Its fully welded seams with ¾ inch steel plate offer greater strength and durability. Heavy - duty scuff bars protect the bucket from excessive wear, and bevelled hard carbon steel blades ensure an extra - long lifespan. These buckets fit Bobcat Mini and all Dingo, Ditchwitch, Vermeer, Boxer, and Ramrod mini loaders. The square bottom allows for 'back dragging' to level your work, making them perfect for landscaping. There are two types of low - profile dirt buckets available. One is for general mini loaders like Dingo, Ditchwitch, etc., with models LP - MINI - 34 (34” O.D width, 5.5 CUFT heaped capacity, 134 lbs empty weight) and LP - MINI - 44 (44” O.D width, 7.2 CUFT heaped capacity, 185 lbs empty weight). The other is for Bobcat Mini, with models LP - MINI - BC - 34 and LP - MINI - BC - 44 having the same width, heaped capacity, and empty weight as their counterparts for general mini loaders.
Using these mini skid steer buckets is easy. First, make sure the bucket is properly attached to your mini loader. Check the quick - tach to ensure it's securely locked. When using the bucket for digging, start with a gentle push and let the cutting blade do the work. For back dragging to level the ground, use the square bottom of the bucket. Make sure the loader is on a stable surface to avoid any accidents. When it comes to maintenance, regularly inspect the scuff bars for wear. If they're too worn, replace them to protect the bucket. Check the welding seams for any signs of cracking or damage. Also, clean the bucket after each use to prevent dirt and debris from building up. This will keep your bucket in good condition and extend its lifespan.
