Compact Tractor Loader Buckets

A 1 cubic yard loader bucket typically measures 60 inches wide with depths around 24-30 inches. Our GP Buckets range from 0.5 to 2.75 cubic yards capacity with widths from 48" to 96". The exact dimensions vary based on your material density requirements and equipment specifications. Contact us for recommendations on the ideal bucket size for your application.

The best compact loader bucket depends on your specific application. For general material handling, our GP Buckets offer versatility with capacities from 0.5-2.75 cubic yards. For specialized cleaning under conveyors in quarries or mining operations, our Conveyor Cleaning Buckets feature extended floor lengths (48"-96") designed specifically for spill cleanup. All models feature high-strength steel construction and replaceable cutting edges.

Our compact tractor loader buckets are constructed from high-strength A-572 steel with thicker material than standard heavy-duty buckets. They feature A-514 wear plates for critical stress points and AR400 wear pads in high-abrasion areas. Replaceable AR400 bolt-on cutting edges provide extended service life. This multi-grade steel approach ensures maximum durability while optimizing weight distribution.

Yes, our GP Buckets can be custom designed to any height, width, and depth requirements. All buckets feature universal skid steer coupler mounts compatible with major brands including Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, Kubota, and others. We also offer specialized configurations like our Conveyor Cleaning Buckets with floor lengths from 48" to 96" tailored for specific applications.

Regular maintenance includes inspecting and replacing bolt-on cutting edges when worn, checking coupler pins and bushings for wear, and examining welds for cracks. Clean debris from the bucket regularly to prevent corrosion. Our AR400 cutting edges are designed for easy replacement without welding. Proper maintenance of the universal coupler mount ensures safe operation and extends bucket life significantly.

Bucket capacity selection depends on your loader's lifting capacity, material density, and application. Our buckets range from 0.5 to 2.75 cubic yards. As a guideline, multiply your material's weight per cubic yard by the bucket capacity—the total should not exceed 50-60% of your loader's rated operating capacity for safe operation.
