Hi. I'm Ted from Everything Attachments and we're here today with the Construction Attachments brand of 4-in-1 buckets. When you talk about a 4-
in-1 for a skid steer this is the heaviest, best built bucket on the market. This is the severe, extreme duty really meant for the new tract machines. As the horsepower gets bigger, the weight gets bigger, machines are getting stronger. This is developed completely to be able to take the severe abuse that a tract machine can give out.

If you happen to have a Takeuchi or a Gehl machine that is a Takeuchi then we do a special hitch height on the back to get you a grade at level bucket. Those two machines which is basically a Takeuchi do use a different height for their hitch plate. So just make sure that you remind us of that if that's what you're getting the machine for.

This uses a six inch by three quarter inch cutting edge with holes drilled in it. So you have the option of bolt-on teeth of two different styles. You have the option of a bolt-on tooth bar. You have the option of the bolt-on reversible edge which will be eight inches wide on the bottom of this to keep from wearing. Like if you're scraping mud off asphalt or doing a lot of snow removal you can do that.

We also have a welded-on tooth option. If you do the welded-on tooth option which is a great option to just do a lot of grading and digging you will eliminate yourself from being able to do these other bolt-on options because you will not have the holes in your bottom edge. You will have teeth welded there.

This bottom here is double plated. It has a cutting edge in the back of it. And has a bolted-on cutting edge in the back of the dozer part. We're going to crank up this machine, we're going to open up this clam, and I'm going to show you kind of how you would use it in reverse doing a back drag. Go ahead and open it up, Peanut, to its full height so you can see how much opening it's got.

So this bucket is designed to have a lot of opening and to be able to be used for multiple things. So it'll open plenty far enough to use the total dozer ability. You've got a lot of distance between here to be able to grab large objects. Which normally you would roll the bucket down over and then pinch them like a clam. And then the other way is, raise it up Peanut and then roll it down. Raise it up. Raise it up. Just set it down right there. All right. That's good.

In this position right here you're going to be using this back edge and like if you wanted to take the crown out of a road which would be bowed in the center it's going to start gathering the material as it back drags and then filter over the front of this edge. And it kind of works like a box blade. So this bucket has a lot of different potentials that you could do with it. The more you use it, the more you'll know how to use it.

The back of this bucket is pretty square. Even though the front of this is tapered and round the back side of this is square so you can still back drag well with this bucket. All of the lines and everything are hidden from the back side and we'll show you. If you notice this has a real nice casted hinge in the side of it. And that high nickel cast hinge there eliminates weight and makes it extra strong. They've got side pieces welded on here so you crimp loaves and do your grappling and so forth with your 4-in-1 bucket.

From that angle I hope you can see that this hitch plate has been widened way out from where the pad is. It's going to touch from your machine. And that's just to spread the load on this bucket. These tract machines get near 10,000 pounds or just getting so much push power that all this steel in here has to be so thick and so good quality that they're just spreading out the weight here so the push doesn't buckle this bucket or bend it in any way.

When you close the jaws on this bucket they're always good and tight. You won't find variations like you will on a cheaper bucket. They've hidden all the lines behind the hitch plate to get out of the way of the main hitch here. They will come with flat face couplers, hoses and couplers. If you need a different size for your machine just let us know and we'll get you the right ones.

So this bucket comes in a lot of different sizes. It comes in a 67, a 73, a 76, an 80, and an 84 because the tract machines are varying so much. So give us a call or an email and we'll make sure that you get the right width of bucket for what you're doing. And if you happen to have a Takeuchi machine make sure you let us know so we can get your hitch plate at the right height.

In theory everyone would like to have as much bucket width as their machine could handle and as much capacity as they can get in a rugged bucket that will hold up to constant use. That sounds like a real plan, but capacity is usually a luxury and not the actual priority for most 4 in 1 applications. The low capacity line is perfect for small skid loaders used to go into tight spaces where maintaining a healthy capacity is necessary, but reducing the overall machine turning radius and still making the front edge visible are the most important things for the user. These buckets have a standard 22 ½” bottom length to keep the machines turning radius as short as possible and the bucket back is at the 20 ½” height used to make the front edge visible to the operator. On these buckets the visibility isn’t so critical for grading as it may be on the some of the other buckets, but it is certainly well appreciated for working in tight areas without a spotter. Even with the short bottom and low back height these buckets feature a 36 ½” clam opening from the rear cutting edge on the clam to the dozerback cutting edge making them fully capable 4 in one buckets with all pushing, clamping, back dragging and digging abilities of the larger 4 in one models.

The extended bottom, low profile buckets are a great fit for more applications than just about any 4 in 1 bucket in the Construction Attachments line. This bucket also has a 20 ½” back height and an extended bottom for great edge visibility. Here the long 28” bottom and low back make this a perfect fit for someone who is primarily digging and grading. The long bottom aids not only by increasing edge visibility but also, in that the bottom is more easily lined up for finish grade applications that are done more and more often on small job sites with skid loaders and skid steers. Being able to effectively finish grade with the skid loader machine that you have can often eliminate the need for bringing in additional costly equipment just to do the finish work. As with all Construction Attachments 4 in ones these buckets can receive a bolt on reversible edge and with the edge a bolt on tooth bar that can be quickly installed and uninstalled for digging operations. The buckets may be purchased with weld on digging teeth in the welded in cutting edge or bolt on teeth that bolt directly into the welded in cutting edge. These buckets have a 39 ¼” clam opening, which combined with the incredible tilt range on today’s machines, allows the clam to stand at a great angle for back dragging loose fill material with limited spillage over the top of the open clam section. A by product of the long bucket bottom is the very impressive heaped capacities achieved with these buckets up to 23 cu-ft heaped on 84” severe extreme models.

High capacity models are just as heavy and rugged as the models designed to grade but have been specifically designed to achieve heaped capacities like a large general purpose bucket and maintain the enhanced loader features found only in a 4 in 1 bucket. High capacity buckets have that same great 28” bucket bottom that is perfect for grading, but on these buckets the visibility is given away to an extent by adding 4” to the back height which dramatically changes the struck capacity line ultimately increasing the heaped capacity even up to 25 cu ft heaped on 84” models. Even greater capacities can be achieved where necessary by adding a factory spill guard to the dozerback of any high capacity Construction Attachments 4 in one bucket. Because they are Construction Attachments 4 in 1 buckets they have the heavy clam bottoms with multiple integrated broken out plates in the clam that means even with their increased capacity they are not limited to lighter materials for loading. The high capacity 4 in 1 is as well suited to loading full scoops of dense crusher run gravel as it is to loading mulch and other loose materials.

In the skid steer and compact track loader models we recommend an Extreme Duty bucket for skid steers up to 100hp and compact track loaders up to 80hp. It is important not to look at horsepower alone when selecting the correct duty rating for your bucket purchase because of the increased weight and traction that goes along with having a compact track loader as opposed to a skid steer loader. The skid steer loader can have an extra 20hp over the compact track loader and still deliver a comparable amount of input force into the bucket hitch and dozerback moldboard. Severe Extreme duty 4 in ones are designed to handle compact track loaders that are not yet even on the market up to 130hp. Standard equipment for the Extreme duty line includes 5/16” sideplates and doubler plates, as well as, 5/16” side cutters for the clam section. Clam sections also have a 4” turned up section of ½”x4” 1065 tapered cutting edge material to enhance side cutting and to get the most out of the machine horsepower and traction when driving the bucket into a pile of material or digging in the ground. Dozerback moldboards are 3/16” and step broken to a radius moldboard to create a rugged back with excellent material shedding characteristics.

All Construction Attachments 4 in 1's for skid steer loaders and compact track loaders have a broken out 5/16” upper reinforcement and a 3/16” broken out lower reinforcement that runs the length of the dozerback. Extreme duty buckets built to accommodate bolt on components on the front edge are built with a weld in 5/8”x6” 1065 cutting edge on the front of the clam section. These buckets also have a standard bolt on edge at the dozerback bottom that is a reversible edge. The clam rear section has a matching 1065 edge that is welded for improved back dragging. Clamping is achieved on all skid steer 4 in ones and compacts alike, using a pair of custom welded cylinders with a whopping 2 ¾” bore. Clamping force is often listed on our competitor’s four in one buckets, but rarely completely accurate and almost never explained. The clamping force is a function of several features only some of which are actually controlled by the design and construction of the bucket.

The fact of the matter is that current skid steers and compact track loaders push up to and sometime over 3000psi on the auxiliary work ports for larger machines and sometimes as low as 2200psi on smaller machines. A 2 ¾” bore cylinder in extension at 3000psi generates almost 18,000 pounds of force and we have 2 of those cylinders on every Construction Attachments 4 in 1 in this line. The catch is that those enormous forces are only applicable at a given pressure that is different from one machine to another and that force is divided by several factors including the angle of the cylinder toward the actual lever that clamps the bucket and the distance from the cylinder attachment to the pivot point and the distance from the pivot point to the actual point along the bucket side where you are attempting to clamp an object.

These factors cut the cylinder force by more than 50% before achieving the actual force on the item to be clamped. Construction Attachments 4 in 1's are designed to effectively clamp anything that can safely be clamped and picked up when they are properly matched to a machine and we invite you to compare our buckets based on how the cutting edge returns and fits between the rear of the bucket clam and the dozerback cutting edge after clamping items on one side of the bucket.

Construction Attachments Severe Extreme Duty 4 in 1 buckets are upgraded at several points that are critical and most affected by larger machines with more traction and torque. The hitch has an added broken out U-channel added directly below the top reinforcement for additional dozer reinforcement and to allow the hitch risers more surface to attach. The hitch risers are thicker and spread wider on the bucket to help spread the load more evenly across the back of the bucket. The top rail has gussets all the way across to handle the greater breakout forces and shock loads generated with the higher torque machines and to insure that these machines are unable to separate themselves from the bucket hitch. The only bucket upgrade required to handle the increased force is to the front cutting edge where the 5/8”x6” edge is replaced with a ¾”x6” edge to handle the greater breakout forces.

Hitch height is a high priority for Construction Attachments 4 in 1 buckets. We are often asked why every piece of literature published about these attachments instructs the customer to specify the host machine when ordering. The reason is that we not only want to size the bucket correctly for the machine size and torque and for the application of the user, but also because every Construction Attachments 4 in 1 bucket or general purpose bucket needs to able to grade against the stops. A bucket will function if it doesn’t and there are many buckets that don’t, but you will achieve a more uniform grade and you machine lift cylinders will receive greatly reduced wear and tear because Construction Attachments skid steer and compact track loader buckets will grade against the stops. You should always be able to tilt the bucket back and lower it against the stops. Then when you roll forward to level the bucket should grade at ground level with the bucket level. Universal hitches almost are universal, but by providing the host machine information with your order we can be certain that your bucket will not only hitch up to your machine, but that it will grade against the stops the way it is intended.
