Skid Steer Bucket Repair - New Cutting Edge and Crack Repair

A cracked bucket doesn't just look bad - it gets worse every single time you use it. What starts as a small crack in the floor or along the cutting edge will spread under load, and before long you're looking at a bucket that can't hold material or cut clean. That's exactly what we were dealing with here.

This Bobcat bucket came in with multiple major cracks and a cutting edge that was done. The ends had also taken enough abuse that they needed to be straightened before anything else could happen. We knocked it all out - crack repairs, new cutting edge installed, and the ends brought back into shape.

The new cutting edge you can see welded along the bottom lip is the kind of detail that makes a real difference on the job. A sharp, solid edge means the bucket bites into material the way it's supposed to. No dragging, no spillage, no fighting the machine to do basic work. Our heavy machinery repair work is about getting equipment back to where it actually performs - not just patching it up and sending it out the door.

Skid steers take a beating. The buckets especially. A lot of guys will run a cracked or worn-out bucket way too long because they don't want the downtime. We get it. But a proper repair is almost always a fraction of what a replacement costs, and this machine walked out of our shop ready to work hard again.

If your bucket or any other attachment is cracked, worn, or bent out of shape, bring it in. We've seen it all, and most of it is fixable.
