If you’re running a larger skid steer and need more capacity without stepping into a heavy rock bucket, the Stinger Series 3 Material Bucket is the sweet spot. It is built to move more material per pass while still maintaining visibility and control from the cab.
This bucket is a step up from standard duty buckets with increased depth and reinforced structure, making it a strong choice for contractors, ag operations, and property work. Whether you’re moving dirt, mulch, snow, or feed, this bucket is designed to keep you productive all day.
What is the Stinger Series 3 Material Bucket best used for?
It is designed for moving large volumes of light to medium materials like dirt, gravel, mulch, snow, and feed. It is a go-to option when you want more capacity without going to a heavy rock bucket.
What size skid steer should I run this on?
The Series 3 is best for medium to large frame skid steers, typically in the 60 to 100 horsepower range with enough operating capacity to handle a full bucket.
How is the Series 3 different from Series 2 and Series 4 buckets?
Series 2 is more of a general purpose bucket for smaller machines. Series 3 steps up capacity and strength for larger skid steers. Series 4 is heavier built and better suited for tougher materials and more demanding applications.
Is this a high capacity bucket?
Yes. The deeper profile is designed specifically to carry more material per load compared to standard buckets, which helps reduce cycle times.
Can this bucket be used for grading?
Yes, but it is designed more for material movement than fine grading. The deeper design prioritizes capacity over precision.
What cutting edge options are available?
You can choose between a weld-on edge for maximum durability or a bolt-on edge if you want something replaceable over time.
Can I use this for gravel and heavier materials?
Yes, it handles gravel well, but if you are constantly working in rock or very abrasive material, a heavier duty bucket may be a better fit long term.
What width should I choose?
Most operators match bucket width to machine width or slightly wider. 72 inch and 78 inch are common all-around choices, while 84 inch is ideal for larger machines and open areas.
Does it come with a universal mount?
Yes, it comes standard with a skid steer quick attach so it will hook up to most machines without modification.
Is this a good bucket for snow?
Yes. The added capacity makes it a strong option for snow removal, especially in open areas where you want to move as much as possible per pass.
