GENERAL INFORMATION
BUCKETS
Bucket Types
1. LP - Low profile
The low-profile bucket has a shorter back and is
longer from bucket heel to cutting edge for opti-
mum cutting edge visibility. This is important for
finish grading and accurate cut and fill jobs.
2. D & F - Dirt and foundry
The dirt and foundry bucket is shorter from buck-
et heel to cutting edge to provide maximum
breakout force for tough digging conditions.
3. M & F - Manure and fertilizer (slurry)
The manure and slurry bucket is for handling
loose or fluid materials with more rollback to mini-
mize spillage.
4. LM - Light material
The light-material bucket is for light, high- volume
materials for more productivity handling light ma-
terial.
Select bucket styles and sizes to provide both ade-
quate breakout force and reasonable carrying ca-
pacity. Handle dense materials with a relatively small
bucket. Handle lighter materials with higher capacity
buckets. Refer to the following bucket capacity chart
and the material weight chart in the operator’s manu-
al when choosing the bucket for a job.
