Utility Skid Steer Bucket | 60"-84" | 15-24 Cu Ft | Star Industries

When you need a skid steer bucket that can handle everything from landscaping projects to heavy material moving, the Star Industries Utility Skid Steer Bucket delivers the versatility and durability your operation demands. Available in widths from 60" to 84" with capacities ranging from 15.2 to 24.2 cubic feet, this bucket is engineered for contractors, landscapers, tree service professionals, and agricultural operators who refuse to compromise on quality.

What sets this utility bucket apart is its thoughtful design that addresses real-world challenges you face every day. The low profile construction lets you see the leading edge from your operator seat, giving you precise control when positioning material or grading surfaces. This visibility advantage translates directly into better accuracy and faster completion times on every job.

Star Industries builds these buckets with extra heavy-duty steel construction and fully welded seams that create a continuous bond inside and outside the shell. This manufacturing approach provides significantly greater strength and longer service life compared to standard buckets that rely on spot welds or lighter gauge materials. You're investing in equipment that stands up to years of demanding use.

The reinforced hat section runs across the entire top of the bucket, providing unyielding strength that prevents warping or cracking under heavy loads. Steel side blades strengthen and protect the bucket sides from impact damage during loading and dumping operations. These design elements work together to maintain structural integrity even when you're pushing the limits of your skid steer's capacity.

Landscapers particularly appreciate the bucket's bottom positioning, which sits close to the ground for level back dragging operations. Whether you're grading driveways, smoothing soil surfaces, or creating precise slopes, this feature gives you the control needed for professional results. The bucket maintains contact with the ground throughout the dragging motion, eliminating the ridges and uneven surfaces that require additional passes.

The beveled hard carbon steel punched blade on the leading edge comes in either ½" x 6" or ¾" x 6" configurations depending on bucket width. This cutting edge penetrates compacted soil and cuts through root systems efficiently, reducing the power required from your skid steer while extending blade life. The punched design also provides secure attachment points for optional bolt-on cutting edges.

Every bucket is specifically designed to match your skid steer's make and model requirements. While the industry has standardized on universal quick-attach systems, different manufacturers require specific bucket profiles for optimal operation. Star Industries engineers each bucket to work seamlessly with your particular machine, ensuring proper weight distribution and hydraulic performance.

The universal quick-attach system is constructed from 3/8" plate steel to handle the increased power output of modern skid steer loaders. This robust mounting system transfers loads efficiently while maintaining secure attachment during aggressive digging and lifting operations. You won't experience the flexing or loosening that can occur with lighter duty attachment systems.

Load transfer heavy scuff bars measuring ½" x 3" are strategically placed across the bucket bottom. Depending on bucket width, you'll have three to five bars that reinforce the bottom structure and protect against excessive wear from abrasive materials. These bars extend bucket life significantly when working with concrete, asphalt, or rocky soil conditions.

Forge Claw stocks both Standard (UT25) and High Capacity (UT31) grades to match your specific application requirements. The Standard grade excels in general utility work, landscaping, and light construction applications. The High Capacity grade handles demanding commercial construction, heavy material handling, and agricultural operations where maximum volume and durability are essential.

Integrated safety steps provide secure footing when you need to access the bucket for maintenance or attachment changes. These steps are formed into the bucket structure rather than bolted on, eliminating potential failure points while giving you confidence when working around the equipment. Safety features like this demonstrate Star Industries' commitment to operator protection.

Optional upgrades include a punched blade with bolt-on-blade system featuring a reversible ⅝" x 8" cutting edge that provides three times the wear surface of standard blades. This option significantly reduces replacement costs and downtime since you can reverse the blade when one edge wears down, then replace the entire blade when both edges are worn.

Manufacturing takes place in the USA with a commitment to quality that's backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty. This warranty coverage reflects the confidence Star Industries has in their construction methods and materials. When you purchase through Forge Claw, you're getting both manufacturer support and distributor expertise to keep your equipment running productively.
