Titan 72″ Skeleton Rock Bucket With Bolt-On Teeth
The 72-inch Skeleton Rock Bucket from Titan Attachments offers a large work footprint, enabling efficient handling of dirt, mulch, rocks, and debris. Its skeleton frame design promotes airflow and quick material separation, while the bolt-on teeth simplify maintenance by allowing individual replacement rather than entire assemblies. The bucket is designed for universal skid steer connections (SSQA / Universal), ensuring compatibility with many brands and models, including common tractors and compact loaders. The reinforced side cutters add durability for demanding applications, and the open-tine bottom aids in sifting finer material from larger debris. This combination makes it suitable for landscaping, construction, and site restoration projects where separation speed matters.

This 60-inch bucket leverages a lightweight yet sturdy construction, using 1/8″ structural steel with 1/2″ sidewall thickness and a robust 2″ x 4″ 9-gauge tubular steel top support. The combination yields a rigid frame capable of withstanding heavy loads without excessive bulk. Like other Titan models, it features a universal SSQA connection for broad compatibility with many skid steers, loaders, and tractors, enabling cross-brand use. It is well-suited for landscaping and construction tasks where efficient material handling is essential, such as moving dirt, mulch, or gravel while retaining finer material for reuse.
Titan 60″ Skeleton Rock Bucket With Bolt-On Teeth
This 60-inch skeleton rock bucket emphasizes a fine-grain design with a skeleton frame that supports efficient sieving of mixed materials. The bucket includes replaceable teeth to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, and its universal SSQA connection ensures compatibility with most skid steer brands, including Ford, Kubota, BX, Kioti, and John Deere.

Buying Guide: Key Purchase Considerations
- Compatibility: Ensure the bucket uses a universal SSQA connection compatible with your skid steer or tractor model.
- Size and capacity: Choose a bucket width that matches your machine’s lift capacity and job scale. Larger buckets increase load per cycle but require greater hydraulic performance.
- Frame and material: Look for a thick, high-grade steel skeleton frame (0.5″ or thicker) and reinforced top supports to withstand heavy, repetitive use.
- Teeth design: Bolt-on, replaceable teeth save on maintenance costs and downtime; consider packs of multiple teeth for quick replacement.
- Bottom design: Fine-grade, open-tine bottoms improve material separation but may affect carrying capacity; balance with your typical material mix.
- Durability features: Reinforced side cutters and corrosion-resistant finishes can extend service life in harsh environments.
- Maintenance and serviceability: Look for easy access to replaceable parts and common wear items, such as teeth and pins.
- Brand support and availability: Check for readily available replacement parts and customer support from the manufacturer or distributor.
- Use-case alignment: For landscaping and light demolition, larger skeleton buckets with open bottoms add speed; for finer grading tasks, fine-grade models offer better material separation.
- Weight considerations: Heavier buckets can reduce machine efficiency; balance bucket mass with machine rating and operating conditions.
