Overview

When you're moving dirt, gravel, mulch, or debris on the job site, you need a bucket that keeps up with your workload without slowing you down. The Skid Steer Material Bucket – Series 1 (MB1) from Stinger Attachments is built to handle exactly that. Whether you're working on a landscaping project, cleaning up a construction site, or managing materials around the farm, this bucket gives you the capacity and durability you need to get more done in less time.

Manufactured right here in the USA by Stinger Attachments and distributed by Forge Claw, the MB1 is designed for compact tractors and small to medium skid steers. It's a versatile, reliable workhorse that fits seamlessly into your operation. You get five width options ranging from 60 to 84 inches, so you can match the bucket to your machine and the kind of material you're handling most often.

What sets this material bucket apart is the thoughtful engineering that goes into every detail. Stinger Attachments uses structural grade 50 steel throughout the construction, which means you're getting a bucket that won't bend, warp, or fail when you're pushing heavy loads or digging into compacted material. The reinforced design isn't just about strength for the sake of it. It's about giving you a tool that holds up job after job, season after season, without requiring constant repairs or replacements.

The shell is built from 3/16-inch grade 50 steel, while the sides are reinforced with ¼-inch material. That extra thickness on the sides protects against the kind of wear and tear you see when loading abrasive materials like gravel or rock. The bottom radius has additional support, which spreads the load more evenly and prevents stress fractures in high-wear areas. This is the kind of design work that extends the life of the bucket and keeps it working hard when other attachments start showing their age.

Visibility matters when you're operating solo or working in tight spaces. The MB1 features a top support brace that increases cutting edge visibility on many skid steers, so you can see exactly where you're digging or scooping without guessing. That means fewer missed spots, less back-and-forth, and more precision on every pass. It's a small touch that makes a big difference in how efficiently you work.

The bucket comes standard with a universal skid steer mounting plate that fits many of the most common skid steer brands. If you need a custom mount or prefer to install your own, Stinger Attachments can accommodate that too. Forge Claw is here to help you get the right fit for your machine, so you're not wrestling with adapters or makeshift solutions.

Another standout feature is the safety step welded onto the attachment. When you're working alone and need to climb up to adjust something or clear debris, that step gives you a stable foothold. It's a simple addition that reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially in muddy or uneven conditions. Safety isn't just a checkbox—it's built into the design.

You also get a choice between weld-on and bolt-on cutting edge options. The bolt-on edge makes replacement quick and straightforward, so you can swap out a worn edge in minutes and get back to work. If you prefer a weld-on edge for a more permanent setup, that's available too. Either way, you're looking at a bucket that's easy to maintain and keeps downtime to a minimum.

The MB1 isn't just about moving material from point A to point B. It's about doing it faster, with less strain on your machine and less effort on your part. The struck capacity ranges from 10 to 14 cubic feet depending on the size you choose, and the heap capacity goes from 12.5 to 17.5 cubic feet. That means you're carrying more per trip, which translates directly into fewer trips and more productivity throughout the day.

The back angle sits at 68 degrees, which gives you good rollback for dumping and helps prevent material from spilling out when you're on the move. The 1/2 x 4-inch wear bars provide extra protection along the bottom edge, reducing wear on the cutting edge and extending the time between replacements. Depending on the width you choose, you'll get either four or five wear bars to keep things protected where it counts.

Forge Claw is proud to offer this bucket with free nationwide shipping, so you can order with confidence knowing there are no surprise costs at checkout. We stand behind every Stinger Attachments product we sell because we know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each one. When you order from Forge Claw, you're getting more than just an attachment—you're getting a partner who's invested in your success on the job site.

This bucket is ideal for operators who need a dependable, well-built material bucket that doesn't require constant babying. It's designed to take a beating and keep performing, whether you're loading topsoil, moving gravel, clearing debris, or pushing snow. The reinforced construction and grade 50 steel mean you're not going to see the cracking, bending, or failure that comes with lighter-duty buckets.

If you're running a compact tractor or a small to medium skid steer, the MB1 is a perfect match. It's sized right for those machines and won't overload your loader arms or hydraulic system. At the same time, it gives you enough capacity and strength to handle serious work without compromise. You're getting the best of both worlds: a bucket that's light enough to be efficient but tough enough to be dependable.

Forge Claw makes ordering easy, with flexible financing options and straightforward support every step of the way. We know your time is valuable, and we're here to make sure you get the right attachment, delivered on time, ready to work. Whether you're adding to your fleet or replacing an old bucket that's past its prime, the MB1 is a smart investment that pays off in performance and reliability.

Benefits

The MB1 material bucket saves you time on every job by increasing the amount of material you can move per trip. With struck capacities ranging from 10 to 14 cubic feet and heap capacities up to 17.5 cubic feet, you're cutting down on the number of passes you need to make. Fewer trips mean you finish jobs faster, which means you can take on more work or get home earlier. That's productivity you can measure in hours saved every week.

Durability translates directly into cost savings. When you invest in a bucket built from grade 50 steel with reinforced construction, you're not replacing it every couple of years. The MB1 is designed to last through thousands of hours of use, handling abrasive materials, heavy loads, and tough conditions without giving up. That means fewer repairs, less downtime, and a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the attachment.

The safety step and improved visibility aren't just nice-to-have features—they're practical advantages that make your workday easier and safer. When you can see the cutting edge clearly, you're more accurate with every scoop. When you have a secure step to use, you're not risking a twisted ankle or worse just to clear a jam or adjust something. These features reduce the physical strain and risk that come with operating heavy equipment day in and day out.

Having the option to choose between weld-on and bolt-on cutting edges gives you control over your maintenance strategy. If you prefer quick swaps and minimal downtime, the bolt-on edge is ready when you need it. If you want a more permanent setup and don't mind welding, that option is available too. Either way, you're not locked into one approach, and you can adapt as your needs change.

The reinforced design and wear bars protect your investment by reducing wear on critical areas. Abrasive materials like gravel and rock can tear up a bucket fast if it's not built right. The MB1's wear bars and thicker side panels stand up to that abuse, so you're not constantly patching or replacing parts. That keeps your operating costs down and your bucket in service where it belongs.

When you're working on a tight schedule, every minute counts. The MB1's combination of capacity, strength, and visibility helps you work faster without sacrificing quality. You're moving more material, with better control, in less time. That efficiency compounds over the course of a project, turning what might have been a multi-day job into something you can knock out in a day or two.

Choosing a bucket from Stinger Attachments and Forge Claw means you're getting a product that's been designed with real-world use in mind. This isn't a bucket that looks good on paper but falls apart in the field. It's built by people who understand what operators need and tested in conditions that prove it can deliver. That confidence pays off in reliability you can count on, job after job.

Additional Information

The MB1 is ideal for contractors, landscapers, farm owners, and anyone who needs to move materials efficiently with a compact tractor or small to medium skid steer. It's equally at home loading mulch for a landscaping job, moving gravel on a construction site, or clearing debris after a storm. The versatility comes from the solid construction and thoughtful design that makes it adaptable to a wide range of tasks.

When it comes to compatibility, the universal skid steer mounting plate fits most common skid steer brands, but if you're not sure about your machine, Forge Claw is here to help. We can answer questions about fitment, recommend the right size for your application, and even arrange for a custom mount if needed. The goal is to make sure you get an attachment that works perfectly with your equipment from day one.

Operating the MB1 is straightforward, but a few best practices will help you get the most out of it. Keep the cutting edge sharp and replace it when it starts to round over. Inspect the wear bars regularly and replace them before they wear through to the shell. Clean out any packed material after use, especially if you're working with sticky or wet materials that can build up and add unnecessary weight. These simple steps keep the bucket performing at its best and extend its service life.

Maintenance is minimal but important. Check bolts and welds periodically to make sure everything stays tight and secure. If you're using the bolt-on cutting edge, keep spare bolts on hand so you're ready for a quick replacement when needed. Grease any pivot points or moving parts if your setup includes them, and store the bucket in a dry area when it's not in use to prevent rust. Taking care of the MB1 is easy, and it pays you back with years of reliable performance.

What size Material Bucket (MB1) should I choose for my skid steer or compact tractor?

Choosing the right width depends on your machine's lifting capacity and the type of material you handle most often. The MB1 comes in five widths: 60, 66, 72, 78, and 84 inches. For compact tractors and smaller skid steers, the 60 or 66-inch models offer excellent maneuverability without overloading your hydraulic system. Medium-sized skid steers can handle the 72 or 78-inch options, which give you more capacity per scoop while maintaining good visibility and control. The 84-inch bucket is ideal for larger machines and jobs where maximum material movement is the priority.

Match the bucket width to your machine's rated operating capacity, and consider the space you're working in. Tighter job sites benefit from narrower buckets that are easier to position, while open areas allow you to take advantage of wider buckets for faster material handling. Forge Claw can help you determine the best fit for your specific machine and application, and we offer free nationwide shipping on all sizes.

How does the MB1 Material Bucket compare to a standard general purpose bucket?

The MB1 is specifically engineered for high-volume material handling, which sets it apart from standard general purpose buckets. The key difference is capacity—the MB1 offers struck capacities from 10 to 14 cubic feet and heap capacities up to 17.5 cubic feet, allowing you to move significantly more material per trip. The reinforced bottom radius and grade 50 steel construction make it more durable when handling abrasive materials like gravel, rock, or wet dirt that can wear out lighter buckets quickly.

The 68-degree back angle provides better rollback for dumping and helps keep material contained during transport. The top support brace improves cutting edge visibility compared to many standard buckets, giving you more precision when loading. While general purpose buckets are versatile for light tasks, the MB1 is built for operators who need to move large volumes of material efficiently and reliably. The reinforced sides and wear bars extend service life in demanding applications, reducing your total cost of ownership over time.

What's the advantage of the bolt-on cutting edge versus the weld-on option?

The bolt-on cutting edge offers the advantage of quick, easy replacement without welding equipment or specialized skills. When your cutting edge wears down from regular use, you can swap it out in minutes using basic hand tools, which minimizes downtime and keeps you productive. This is particularly valuable if you're working in remote locations or don't have access to a welder on short notice. The bolt-on design also allows you to replace just the edge without affecting the rest of the bucket structure.

The weld-on option provides a more permanent installation and eliminates the need to check bolt tension periodically. Some operators prefer the cleaner profile of a welded edge and the assurance that it won't come loose during heavy use. Both options use the same high-quality steel and will hold up to abrasive materials and tough conditions. Your choice comes down to your maintenance preferences and available resources. Either way, the MB1 is designed to make edge replacement straightforward and cost-effective.

Can the MB1 Material Bucket handle wet or sticky materials like clay and wet topsoil?

Yes, the MB1 handles wet and sticky materials effectively, though you'll want to clean it out after use to prevent buildup. The 68-degree back angle helps material roll out cleanly when dumping, and the smooth interior surfaces reduce the amount of material that sticks during operation. Wet clay, topsoil, and similar materials can pack into any bucket over time, but the MB1's reinforced construction means you can use your bucket edge or a tool to scrape out packed material without damaging the shell. The grade 50 steel won't dent or deform from normal cleaning, and the reinforced bottom radius prevents stress cracks that can develop when handling heavy, wet loads.

For best results with sticky materials, operate at a slight angle when dumping to encourage material flow, and clean the bucket between loads if buildup starts affecting capacity. Regular cleaning also prevents corrosion from moisture sitting in the bucket. The MB1's durability means it stands up to the extra wear that comes with wet material handling, making it a reliable choice for landscaping and earthmoving applications year-round.

Is the MB1 Material Bucket compatible with my skid steer brand?

The MB1 comes standard with a universal skid steer mounting plate that fits most common skid steer brands including Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Kubota, Case, New Holland, Gehl, and many others. The universal plate design ensures quick attachment and detachment using your machine's standard quick-attach system. If you have a less common machine or prefer a custom mounting solution, Stinger Attachments can accommodate special mount requests. Before ordering, verify your machine's quick-attach style—most modern skid steers use the standard quick-attach system, but older or specialized machines may vary.

Forge Claw is here to help confirm compatibility and answer any fitment questions before you order. We want to make sure your MB1 arrives ready to work with your equipment from day one. The mounting plate is engineered to distribute forces evenly across the attachment points, which protects both your machine and the bucket during heavy use. With free nationwide shipping and expert support, getting the right fit for your skid steer or compact tractor is straightforward and hassle-free.

How long do the wear bars and cutting edge typically last on the MB1?

Wear bar and cutting edge life depends heavily on the materials you're handling and how aggressively you operate. In typical landscaping and light earthmoving applications with dirt, mulch, and gravel, you can expect the cutting edge to last several hundred hours of use before needing replacement. The 1/2 x 4-inch wear bars are designed to protect the cutting edge and extend its life by distributing wear across a larger surface area. If you're working with highly abrasive materials like rock, concrete debris, or frozen ground, wear will occur faster and you should inspect the edge and wear bars more frequently.

Signs that replacement is needed include a rounded or thin cutting edge that reduces digging performance, or wear bars that have worn down close to the bucket shell. The bolt-on edge makes replacement quick and affordable, and keeping a spare edge on hand means you can swap it out between jobs without losing productivity. Regular inspection and timely replacement of wear components protects the bucket shell from damage and maintains optimal performance. Proper maintenance of these wear items is a small investment that significantly extends the overall life of your MB1.

What maintenance does the MB1 Material Bucket require?

The MB1 is designed for minimal maintenance, but a few simple practices will keep it performing at its best for years. After each use, especially with wet or sticky materials, clean out any packed material to prevent buildup and corrosion. Inspect the cutting edge and wear bars regularly—replace the edge when it becomes rounded or thin, and replace wear bars before they wear through to the shell. If you're using the bolt-on cutting edge, check the bolts periodically to ensure they're tight and replace any that show signs of wear or damage.

Inspect welds and structural components for cracks or damage, particularly if you've been handling heavy loads or working in rocky conditions. Store the bucket in a dry location when not in use to minimize rust and corrosion, or apply a rust preventative if outdoor storage is necessary. The grade 50 steel construction is highly resistant to wear and damage, but keeping the bucket clean and addressing wear items promptly prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs. These basic maintenance steps take minimal time and ensure your MB1 remains a reliable, productive tool throughout its service life.

Can I use the MB1 for snow removal in addition to material handling?

Yes, the MB1 works well for snow removal, particularly for pushing and stacking snow in parking lots, driveways, and other large areas. The wide bucket widths allow you to clear significant areas quickly, and the reinforced construction handles the impact and scraping that comes with snow removal. The cutting edge bites into packed snow and ice effectively, and the 68-degree back angle helps contain snow during transport to dump piles. Keep in mind that the MB1 is heavier than dedicated snow buckets, which can affect your machine's fuel efficiency and speed during long snow removal sessions.

For occasional snow work or clearing your own property, the MB1 is an excellent multi-purpose choice that eliminates the need for a separate snow bucket. For professional snow removal contractors who plow daily throughout winter, a dedicated snow bucket or pusher might be more efficient. The bolt-on cutting edge is particularly useful in snow applications—you can replace a worn edge quickly without downtime during the busy winter season. The MB1's durability means it handles the freeze-thaw cycles and impact loading of snow removal without damage, making it a versatile attachment for year-round use. Forge Claw offers free nationwide shipping and flexible financing to help you get the attachments you need.
