Designed to take advantage of the improved performance and boom design of the large-frame 332G skid steer and 333G compact track loader (CTL), John Deere now offers 90-in. (228.6 cm) severe-duty construction buckets. Available with a serrated edge or as a tooth bucket, these new additions to the John Deere lineup of Worksite Pro attachments are redefining expectations of what compact equipment can accomplish.

“Customers love our large-frame machines because they are powerful and highly productive, yet compact and easy to transport or trailer,” said Gregg Zupancic, product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “When equipped with a severe-duty bucket, productivity is magnified, making these machines capable of doing almost the same amount of work as a larger piece of construction equipment.”

The 90-in. buckets come standard with a serrated edge that's reversible to a smooth side. The serrated side is efficient for cutting a graded surface, loosening hard-to-penetrate materials, such as packed gravel, or breaking up frozen ground. The smooth side cutting edge is more efficient for fine, finish-grade work and back-dragging materials. Bucket teeth also are available as an option. The welded-on teeth drastically increase digging ability and help cut into rocky soil, scoop loose dirt or dig out roots.

With the universal, self-cleaning Quik-Tatch easy attachment system found on all John Deere skid steers, CTLs and compact excavators, the machine can easily add and remove the Severe-Duty bucket in no time. The new attachment series also is backed by John Deere parts, service and warranty coverage.
