Looking for a power bucket for a 4500P

Photo1 · May 22, 2020

I guess with all the loaders I have, this little bucket seems redundant, but every time Pati wants a load of mulch or a bucket of black dirt, my equipment leaves deep ruts in the "lawn." So, I am considering the power bucket. I have duals, and am impressed by the light footprint. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I would check to see if there is anyone in the Midwest not using one and looking to sell. Michael

4500 pence is $54.83 you'd be very lucky to find one that cheap..

Very useful tool and it digs pretty good once you learn how to use it. It's like a wheel barrow under power. If it were me I would look for an older model bucket they dig better and have a better cutting edge........ jim

Thanks, Jim. When you say older model, what should I look for? Just date of manufacture, or model number..... I realize that as handy as they are, used might be unobtainable, but it doesn't hurt to look.

The one they made before the power bucket. Check Craigslist..... I'll check around here......I just got done replacing a belt on the new deck that tilts hydraulic and it was nothing like the directions tell you but things use to be simple.....LOL..... jim

Another possibility - does the Steiner power bucket fit and operate the same? I saw somewhere that they have two different widths. Might be handy with the duals. Michael

Yes Steiner will work even the quick couplers, also 48 is the widest and your outer wheel will get in the way, but for the most part no it will be fine. I looked on Craigslist around here and no buckets....... jim
