FAQ
Will this fit my machine?
This bucket is custom-fitted at order. Select your mount option (Pin-On or Wedge Coupler, specifying coupler type) and provide your make and model at checkout, or send a photo of your stick and pins for confirmation.
Are the teeth replaceable?
Yes — bolt-on teeth are wear items and can be replaced. Replacements are available on request.
Can I get it without teeth?
Yes — add a note at checkout if you prefer a smooth cutting edge.
How does the warranty work?
One year from delivery. If you have a manufacturing defect, send us photos and we’ll arrange repair, replacement, or refund.
Do you offer rush fabrication?
Sometimes — call 416-220-8550 to discuss your timeline.
What’s the difference between trenching, grading, and skeleton buckets?
Trenching buckets are narrow with high break-out force for clean wall finish in utility and footing work. Grading buckets are wide with a straight cutting edge for finish work, backfilling, and site cleanup. Skeleton buckets sift material on the fly — ideal for rock and root separation in landscaping.
