Skid Steer Material Bucket Attachment – High-Capacity Material Handling | Stinger Attachments

Video Overview

Overview

When you're running material all day — whether it's soil, gravel, mulch, or sand — you need a bucket that moves volume without slowing you down. The Skidsteer Material Bucket – Series 2 by Stinger Attachments is built for operators who want maximum capacity, excellent visibility, and the kind of durability that holds up job after job. This isn't a flimsy all-purpose bucket. It's a purpose-built material mover designed to handle high-volume work on construction sites, farms, landscaping projects, and everything in between.

What makes the Series 2 stand out is its deep bottom paired with a standard-height back. That combination gives you serious carrying capacity while keeping the back low enough that you can see exactly where you're dumping or grading. If you've ever struggled with a tall-back bucket blocking your line of sight during finish grading or leveling, you know how valuable that visibility is. The deep bottom also means you're scooping more material per pass, which translates directly into fewer trips and less fuel burned.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute the full line of Stinger Attachments material buckets, and the Series 2 is one of the most versatile options in the catalog. Available in five widths — 60, 66, 72, 78, and 84 inches — this bucket fits compact tractors and medium- to large-frame skid steers. Whether you're running a smaller machine on tight residential jobs or a full-size loader on commercial sites, there's a Series 2 that matches your setup. And with struck capacities ranging from nearly 12 cubic feet up to almost 17 cubic feet, you're moving serious volume no matter which size you choose.

Stinger builds this bucket with grade 50 structural steel and reinforces it in all the right places. The shell is 3/16-inch thick, the sides are a beefy quarter-inch, and the bottom features half-inch by four-inch wear bars that protect the high-wear zone where material slides in and out. This isn't sheet metal that's going to dent the first time you scoop into compacted fill. It's real steel that can handle the kind of abuse you throw at equipment on a working site.

You also get your choice of cutting edge styles. Go with a weld-on edge if you want simplicity and a clean profile, or choose the bolt-on option for easy replacement down the road. Either way, you're getting a sharp, durable edge that bites into piles and scrapes clean on hard surfaces. The bolt-on version is especially popular with operators who do a lot of grading work and want to swap edges without downtime or torch work.

The Series 2 comes standard with a universal skid steer mount plate, so it's ready to go right out of the crate on most machines. But Stinger also offers custom mount options if you're running something outside the norm, or they can leave the back plain if you prefer to weld on your own quick attach. That flexibility means you're not locked into one system, and you're not paying for features you won't use.

One detail that makes a real difference in the field is the safety step welded onto the side of the bucket. If you're working solo and need to climb up to check a load, adjust a strap, or clear debris, that step gives you a stable platform without having to scramble or improvise. It's a small feature that shows Stinger understands how this equipment actually gets used.

Forge Claw ships every Stinger material bucket free of charge anywhere in the country, and we back it with the kind of customer service that keeps operators coming back. We're not just moving boxes. We're helping you find the right attachment for your machine and your work, and we're here to answer questions before and after the sale. When you order from Forge Claw, you're getting a bucket that's built right, priced fairly, and delivered on time.

This bucket shines in high-volume material handling where speed and capacity matter. Landscapers use it to move mulch, topsoil, and compost. Contractors rely on it for hauling gravel, sand, and aggregate. Farm and ranch operators load grain, feed, and amendments. And municipal crews use it for everything from snow removal prep to seasonal cleanup work. It's the kind of attachment that earns its keep every single day.

The bottom radius support adds structural integrity right where the bucket takes the most stress — at the transition between the floor and the back. That reinforcement prevents flexing and fatigue cracking, which means the bucket stays square and solid even after years of heavy use. You won't see sagging or warping, and you won't be dealing with welds cracking at the seams.

If you've been running a general-purpose bucket and wondering why it takes so long to finish material jobs, the Series 2 is the answer. More capacity per scoop means fewer cycles. Better visibility means cleaner grading and less rework. Tougher construction means less downtime and lower long-term costs. It's a straightforward upgrade that pays off in productivity and reliability.

Stinger Attachments has been building heavy-duty attachments for real working conditions, and the Series 2 material bucket is a perfect example of their approach. No gimmicks, no unnecessary complexity — just solid steel, smart design, and features that make sense on the job site. And with Forge Claw handling distribution, you're getting fast shipping, flexible financing options, and support from people who understand the equipment and the work you're doing.

Benefits

The Series 2 material bucket cuts your cycle time and gets more work done in less time. With capacities ranging up to nearly 21 cubic feet on the heap, you're moving significantly more material per scoop than a standard bucket. That means fewer trips between the pile and the truck, less fuel consumed, and more loads finished before the end of the day. On jobs where you're paid by volume or working against a tight deadline, those extra cubic feet add up fast.

Durability translates directly into lower operating costs over the life of the attachment. The combination of grade 50 steel, reinforced wear bars, and radius support means this bucket stands up to the kind of punishment that destroys lighter equipment. You're not replacing bent buckets or re-welding cracked seams. You're running the same attachment year after year, which means better return on investment and less downtime for repairs or replacements.

Improved visibility during grading and finishing work saves time and reduces costly mistakes. The standard-height back keeps your line of sight clear, so you can see exactly where material is going and how the surface is shaping up. That means less over-filling, fewer passes to correct uneven spots, and cleaner results on the first try. For landscapers doing final grade work or contractors prepping pad sites, that visibility is worth its weight in gravel.

The option to choose between weld-on and bolt-on cutting edges gives you control over maintenance and operating costs. If you do a lot of scraping on pavement or concrete, the bolt-on edge lets you swap in a fresh edge in minutes without welding equipment or downtime. If you're mostly handling loose material and want the simplest, most durable setup, the weld-on edge is clean and permanent. Either way, you're getting a sharp, effective cutting surface that makes loading easier and cleaner.

Built-in safety features like the side step reduce risk and make solo operation more practical. You don't need a second person standing by just to check a load or clear a snag. The step gives you a stable platform to work from, which means fewer slips, fewer improvised ladders, and less chance of injury on the job site. That's especially valuable for owner-operators and small crews where every person counts.

Five available widths mean you can match the bucket to your machine and your work without compromising. Smaller machines get the capacity they can handle without being front-heavy. Larger loaders get the full-width bucket that maximizes productivity. And because all five sizes share the same tough construction and smart design, you're getting the same quality and performance no matter which width you choose.

Shipping calculated at checkout from Forge Claw and flexible financing options make it easy to upgrade your equipment without breaking the budget. You're not paying freight costs on top of the purchase price, and you're not waiting weeks for delivery. Order today, and you're moving more material before the week is out. That's the kind of service that keeps jobs on schedule and equipment working instead of sitting idle.

Additional Information

The Series 2 material bucket is ideal for contractors handling aggregate and fill, landscapers moving soil and mulch, farm operators loading grain and feed, and municipal crews doing seasonal cleanup and maintenance work. It's equally at home on residential sites where a compact tractor is the right tool and on commercial projects where a large-frame skid steer is running all day. The deep bottom design makes it especially well-suited for jobs where visibility matters — finish grading, site prep, and any work where you need to see exactly what you're doing.

This bucket is compatible with most skid steers and compact tractors equipped with universal quick attach systems. If you're running a machine with a different mount style, Stinger can customize the mounting plate or leave it plain for you to weld on your own system. Before ordering, verify your machine's lift capacity to ensure it can safely handle the loaded weight of the bucket. The 60-inch model is a great match for compact tractors and smaller skid steers, while the 78- and 84-inch sizes are built for medium to large loaders with the hydraulic power and stability to handle heavy loads.

For best results, keep the cutting edge sharp and replace or rotate wear bars when they start to thin. If you're running the bolt-on cutting edge, check the bolts periodically and keep spares on hand. The bucket's design minimizes material hangup, but a quick rinse or scrape after handling sticky materials like wet clay or asphalt keeps everything moving smoothly. Store the bucket on level ground or hang it from the quick attach to prevent warping and keep the cutting edge off dirt and moisture.

Lead times may vary depending on size and demand, so if you're working on a tight schedule, call Forge Claw to confirm availability before placing your order. We'll make sure you get the right bucket at the right time, and we'll answer any questions about sizing, mounting, or compatibility.
