About this product
📘 Overview
The Top Dog skid steer tooth bucket is a low profile digging bucket with teeth on 9" spacing, built for ground that a smooth-edged bucket cannot break into. Five widths run 60" to 84" with a 5/8" x 6" A50 steel bucket edge behind the teeth, 22" overall height and 39.5" overall depth measured less teeth. The teeth concentrate the machine’s breakout force into a few points instead of spreading it across a straight edge, which is what lets the bucket penetrate compacted or frozen material.
A skid steer bucket with teeth is the answer to a specific problem: ground that a smooth edge rides over instead of entering. Buyers searching skid steer bucket teeth are often looking for replacement parts rather than a whole bucket — worth knowing that the teeth on this tooth bucket are individually replaceable, and that Top Dog also sells a bolt-on tooth bar that converts a bucket you already own. As a skid steer digging bucket it does everything a plain dirt bucket does, with the teeth adding penetration rather than replacing the edge.
⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments Tough Tooth Bucket
- Teeth on 9" spacing — concentrating breakout force at intervals lets the bucket penetrate ground a straight edge would ride over.
- 5/8" x 6" A50 steel bucket edge — the edge behind the teeth is full thickness, so the bucket still works when the teeth are worn.
- Low profile design — a low bucket lets the operator see and place the teeth accurately when starting a cut.
- Five widths, 60" to 84" — from 470 lbs to 605 lbs empty across common machine capacities.
- 39.5" overall depth less teeth — depth is measured behind the teeth, so the working envelope is directly comparable to a smooth bucket.
- Heavy duty construction throughout — built for construction, farm, ranch and landscaping duty rather than occasional use.
- Replaceable teeth — teeth are the wear item and can be replaced without touching the bucket.
🔑 Why Choose the Tough Tooth Bucket?
- Gets into ground a plain bucket cannot — teeth concentrate force into points — the difference between digging compacted clay and skating across it.
- Wear lives in the teeth, not the bucket — teeth are replaceable; the 5/8" x 6" A50 edge behind them stays intact.
- Still works as a loading bucket — the full bucket edge and shell mean it loads and carries as well as it digs.
- Sized to the machine — five widths let you match the bucket to your loader instead of over-bucketing a small machine.

On loose material or finish grading a smooth bucket gives a cleaner result — teeth leave furrows in a graded surface.
🚜 Which Machines Fit the Tough Tooth Bucket?
Available for two machine classes — the Tough Tooth Bucket uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:
Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:
Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
❓ Tough Tooth Bucket Questions, Answered
When should I use a tooth bucket instead of a smooth bucket?
Use a tooth bucket when the ground resists a straight edge — compacted clay, frozen soil, rocky ground or hardpan. The teeth on the Top Dog tough tooth bucket concentrate the machine’s breakout force into points rather than spreading it along a flat edge. For loading loose material or finish grading, a smooth-edged bucket gives a cleaner result.
Are the bucket teeth replaceable?
Yes. The teeth are the wear item on the Top Dog tough tooth bucket and can be replaced without affecting the 5/8" x 6" A50 steel bucket edge behind them.
How far apart are the teeth?
The teeth on the Top Dog tough tooth bucket are spaced 9" apart on all five widths.
What size tooth bucket should I choose?
Match the width to your machine’s rated operating capacity. The Top Dog tough tooth bucket runs 0.5 cu yd at 60" (470 lbs empty) to 0.706 cu yd at 84" (605 lbs empty).
Does the overall depth include the teeth?
No. The 39.5" overall depth on the Top Dog tough tooth bucket is measured less teeth, so it is directly comparable to a smooth bucket of the same nominal size. The teeth extend beyond that figure.
Can I add teeth to a bucket I already own?
Top Dog offers a separate bolt-on tooth bar in 60", 68", 72" and 78" widths that fits an existing bucket. The tough tooth bucket is a purpose-built bucket with teeth; the tooth bar converts a bucket you already have.
Will the tooth bucket fit a tractor loader?
Yes, where the tractor front-end loader is fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the corresponding Top Dog adapter plate.
How do I know when bucket teeth need replacing?
Replace teeth when the points have worn back enough that they no longer penetrate ahead of the bucket edge — at that stage the teeth are adding drag without adding bite. Worn teeth also transfer load onto the 5/8" x 6" A50 edge behind them, which is not the intended wear surface.
Will a tooth bucket damage a finished surface?
Yes, teeth will gouge asphalt, concrete and finished grade. The Top Dog tough tooth bucket is a digging tool for broken ground. For working on or grading a finished surface, use a smooth-edged bucket such as the dirt or utility bucket.
