Buying Advice New 4066R with SSQA

rkenne · Jan 9, 2019

I have decided to buy a 4066R but prefer skid steer quick attach which I can order with a new loader. The dealer could not find a deere bucket to go on the loader without just ordering one that comes factory on a skid steer. I love the looks of the heavy duty bucket with loops but I believe it is only available with John Deere attachments. Anyone have any experience with this or advice?

Because you have chosen the construction grade SS coupler, Deere offers the worksite pro construction grade buckets. Your options are to paint the construction bucket green, and add hooks. Or modify the HD agricultural bucket to fit on the SS coupler. Alternatively you could custom order a bucket from somebody like werk-brau to have the coolest looking bucket on the block.

This is 100% correct.

The loader bucket you want is actually a worksite Pro bucket that they use on the 110tlb. They are a little different shape than a true skid steer bucket and they don’t have the step on the top.
The part number I have for my 4720 400cx loader (with skid steer mounts)is LVB25342. It is a 72 inch heavy duty bucket with a bolt on cutting edge. It is nearly indestructible. It weighs about 430 pounds.
Don’t forget to weld on some of Ken’s grab hooks (I have 3)

Thought I would mention you will need to subtract the weight of the bucket from the FEL lift capacity to get your lift limits. Just make sure you are ok with those numbers when getting a heavier bucket and SSQA. They both add weight.
