Turkey Litter Bucket | Skid Steer Attachment | High Capacity | 3/16" Steel | 3/4" x 6" Cutting Edge | 1/2" Wear Bars | Optional Bolt-On Reversible Edge | 48"–120"

When you're hauling turkey litter, poultry bedding, or other lightweight bulk materials, standard dirt buckets just don't cut it. You need volume, not weight capacity. That's exactly what the Turkey Litter Bucket from Loflin Manufacturing delivers. This specialty bucket is engineered specifically for moving low-density materials quickly and efficiently, giving you the extra cubic footage you need without the overkill of a heavy-duty rock bucket.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute the Turkey Litter Bucket nationwide, bringing poultry farmers, livestock operators, and agricultural professionals a purpose-built solution that speeds up cleanout jobs and reduces the number of passes you have to make. Whether you're clearing out a chicken house, moving sawdust bedding, or handling compost, this bucket gives you the reach and capacity to get more done in less time.

Built by Loflin Manufacturing in the USA, the Turkey Litter Bucket features rugged 3/16" plate steel construction on the sides and bottom. That might sound light compared to some heavy-duty buckets, but for the application, it's exactly right. You're not digging into packed clay or scooping boulders—you're moving fluffy, loose material that needs containment and volume, not brute force. The 3/16" steel keeps the bucket light enough to maximize your payload while still standing up to daily abuse on the farm.

The bottom of this bucket isn't just flat steel. It's reinforced with 1/2" wear bars that run the length of the floor, distributing weight and protecting high-wear areas from constant scraping and dragging. Those wear bars extend the life of the bucket significantly, especially when you're working on concrete or rough barn floors. You won't see premature holes or buckling after a few months of hard use.

Up front, you'll find a 3/4" thick by 6" wide cutting edge that's welded—not wrapped—at the corners. That welded joint is stronger and lasts longer than a wrap-around design, which tends to peel or separate under stress. The cutting edge gives you a clean bite into piles and helps you scrape floors down to the slab without leaving behind a layer of compacted litter. And because it's a bolt-on design, you can replace it when it wears down instead of scrapping the whole bucket.

Loflin also offers an optional bolt-on reversible double edge, which effectively doubles your cutting edge lifespan. Flip it once, and you've got a fresh edge ready to go. That's a smart upgrade if you're running this bucket day in and day out during cleanout season.

Another feature that sets this bucket apart is the reinforced back. The back wall takes a beating every time you crowd the bucket or push into a pile, and Loflin designed this one to handle it. Extra bracing and strategically placed gussets keep the back from flexing or cracking, even when you're loading heavy or working in tight quarters.

Safety isn't an afterthought here. Every Turkey Litter Bucket comes standard with treaded steps welded onto the back. These give you solid footing when you're climbing in and out of the cab, which matters more than you'd think. Wet litter, dust, and mud make smooth surfaces slippery as ice. Those treads give you traction and confidence, reducing the risk of a slip that could end your day—or worse.

Loflin Manufacturing stocks this bucket in five common widths: 72", 78", 84", and 96". That range covers most skid steer models, from compact units up to full-size loaders. If you need something outside those dimensions, custom sizes are available. Just reach out to Forge Claw, and we'll work with Loflin to get you exactly what you need.

Capacity is where this bucket really shines. The extra height and depth let you pile material higher without spilling over the sides. You'll move more per pass, which means fewer trips back and forth across the barn. On a big cleanout job, that adds up to real time savings. What used to take all day might wrap up by lunch, freeing you up for other work.

This bucket isn't just for poultry operations. It's equally effective for moving sawdust, wood shavings, mulch, compost, and even snow in a pinch. Anywhere you need volume over density, the Turkey Litter Bucket excels. Landscapers use it for spreading bulk mulch. Horse farms rely on it for stall cleanouts. It's a versatile tool that earns its keep across a range of jobs.

Forge Claw stands behind every product we distribute, and the Turkey Litter Bucket is no exception. We've seen these buckets in action on farms and ranches across the country, and the feedback is consistently positive. Operators appreciate the thoughtful design, the durability, and the productivity boost.

If you've been making do with a standard dirt bucket or an undersized general-purpose bucket, it's time to upgrade. The Turkey Litter Bucket gives you the capacity, durability, and design features you need to tackle cleanout jobs faster and with less frustration. It's built by a manufacturer with decades of experience in agricultural attachments, distributed by a team that understands what working operators need, and backed by a solid warranty that protects your investment.

The most immediate benefit of the Turkey Litter Bucket is the time you'll save on cleanout jobs. With its large capacity design, you'll move significantly more material per pass compared to a standard dirt bucket. That means fewer trips across the barn, less wear on your machine, and less fuel burned. On a typical poultry house cleanout, that efficiency gain can cut your job time in half, letting you finish in hours instead of days.

Durability translates directly to cost savings over the life of the bucket. The 1/2" wear bars and 3/4" cutting edge are designed to take the brunt of the abuse, protecting the main body of the bucket from premature wear. When those components do eventually wear out, they're replaceable. You won't be shopping for a new bucket every few years because the bottom rusted through or the cutting edge wore down to nothing.

The reinforced back wall is another cost-saver that isn't always obvious until you've run a bucket without it. Cheap buckets tend to crack or buckle at the back where the cylinder mounts and the stress is highest. Loflin's reinforced design eliminates that failure point, so you're not dealing with downtime for repairs or scrambling to find a replacement mid-job.

Productivity goes beyond just speed. The treaded steps might seem like a small detail, but they make a real difference in operator comfort and safety. When you're climbing in and out of the cab dozens of times a day, having secure footing reduces fatigue and keeps you focused on the work instead of worrying about slipping. Safer operators are more productive operators, plain and simple.

The versatility of this bucket adds value too. It's not a single-use tool. Beyond turkey litter, you'll find uses for it in mulch spreading, compost handling, bedding distribution, and light snow removal. That multi-purpose capability means you're getting more return on your investment, and you're not tying up capital in specialized equipment that only gets used a few times a year.

Finally, there's the peace of mind that comes with buying American-made equipment from a reputable manufacturer. Loflin Manufacturing has been building heavy-duty attachments for decades, and their quality control shows. You're not gambling on an import with questionable welds and mystery steel. You're getting a bucket that's engineered, fabricated, and tested to handle real-world farm work, year after year.

The Turkey Litter Bucket is ideal for poultry farmers, livestock operations, equestrian facilities, and agricultural contractors who regularly handle lightweight bulk materials. It's equally well-suited for landscapers who spread mulch or compost in volume, as well as property owners managing large-scale cleanups or material distribution projects. If your work involves moving fluffy, low-density material, this bucket will outperform a standard dirt or gravel bucket every time.

This bucket is designed to fit any skid steer loader with a universal quick attach system. The stocked sizes cover most popular skid steer models, but if you're running a compact unit or a larger loader, custom widths are available. It's always a good idea to measure your machine's specs and match the bucket width to your loader's rated operating capacity for optimal performance and stability.

For best results, keep the cutting edge sharp and replace it when it wears down to about half its original thickness. A dull edge makes the bucket work harder and reduces your scraping efficiency. If you opt for the reversible double edge, you can extend your service interval significantly. Periodically inspect the wear bars and replace them if they're worn through to the base plate. Regular greasing of the quick attach pins will keep your bucket mounting smoothly and reduce wear on the attachment system.

Maintenance is straightforward. Hose out the bucket after working with wet litter or corrosive materials to prevent buildup and rust. Check welds and structural components periodically for cracks, especially around high-stress areas like the back wall and cutting edge mounts. Tighten any loose bolts on the cutting edge or wear bars before they work themselves free. Treat this bucket like the workhorse it is, and it'll serve you reliably for years.
