Light Material Bucket For Tractor, Skid Steer & Wheel Loader | Bradco By Paladin

Overview

This JRB light material bucket is built for picking up and transferring lighter-weight material in volume — snow, mulch, wood chips, grain. It is available for three carrier types: skid steer, tractor and wheel loader, each on that carrier's own standard mount, across 13 configurations at 490 to 653 lbs. Wear areas are a minimum of 400 Brinell, and the cutting edge is .75" x 6" high carbon and beveled.

Key Features of the Bradco Light Material Bucket

• Built for three carriers — skid steer, tractor and wheel loader, rather than one machine class.
• Minimum 400 Brinell wear areas, a hardness specification rather than a general durability claim.
• .75" x 6" high carbon, beveled cutting edge.
• Widths and cutting edge hole patterns drilled to OEM standards, so replacement edges are not proprietary.
• 13 configurations across the three carrier types.
• A high volume bucket for light material handling — a large capacity bucket where the limit is what fits, not what lifts.
• Available as a skid steer light material bucket, a tractor light material bucket or a wheel loader light material bucket — the same shell logic across three carrier classes.
• In practice a snow and mulch bucket: those are the two materials it is most often bought for, and both are volume-limited rather than weight-limited.

Why Choose This Light Material Bucket

• Volume is the point, not strength. With light material the machine runs out of bucket long before it runs out of lift, which is exactly what this shell is shaped for.
• OEM-standard hole patterns matter at replacement time. A proprietary pattern ties you to one supplier for every future cutting edge.
• 400 Brinell is a number, not an adjective. It is a hardness rating you can compare against other buckets rather than a marketing claim.

Which Bradco Bucket Do You Need?

Bradco builds seven bucket types. They are not grades of one bucket — each is built for a different material or a different problem, so the question is what you are moving rather than how heavy-duty you need.

Bucket What it is for Distinguishing spec Construction General digging and loading 0.75–1 yd capacity, bolt-on side cutters standard Low Profile Visibility to the cutting edge Standard or long floor Rock Separating rock from soil 2" or 3" tine spacing Light Material High-volume light material Min 400 Brinell wear areas, three carrier types High-Dump Dumping over a high side 1,000–1,359 lb, powered dump 4-in-1 Six tools in one shell Clam, grapple, dozer, box scraper, bottom dump Mini Mini loaders Toro/Dingo, ASV, Bobcat MT mounts

For dense material like soil and aggregate, the construction bucket has a stronger shell and published yard capacity. For separating rock from soil, the rock bucket uses tines. For dumping over a high side, the high-dump bucket tips rather than rolling forward.

Which Machines Fit This Light Material Bucket?

This bucket is built for three carrier types — skid steer, tractor and wheel loader — so the first check is which version you need. It needs no hydraulics. Because it is sized for volume rather than weight, the practical limit is usually the bucket filling up rather than the loader reaching its rating.

Requirement Specification Carriers Skid steer / tractor / wheel loader Bucket weight 490–1,112 lbs Hydraulics None required Cutting edge .75" x 6" high carbon beveled

Check your loader's rated operating capacity against the bucket weight plus the load. If you are unsure, contact eskidsteer.com at (866) 757-8337.
