Dymax Fertilizer Light Material Bucket

for Wheel Loaders

Fill up to 85-90% of the bucket with potash or dry fertilizer — material that won’t heap in a standard bucket.

The Dymax Fertilizer Bucket has a long floor and long lip that self-fill as you cut into the pile and rack back. You move more per pass — without stepping up to a bigger bucket. That matters when a bigger bucket won’t fit your machine or your dump clearance. Bottom T1 wear plates and replaceable bolt-on edges hold up under abrasive, high-volume loading.

KEY FEATURES

FAQ’S

Granular fertilizer flows instead of piling. It settles to struck level and slides off any heap you try to build. That leaves a standard bucket loading well below its rated volume.

The Dymax Fertilizer Bucket’s long floor and long lip let the material self-fill as you cut in and rack back, recovering that lost volume and filling to 85-90% of bucket capacity.
A standard light material bucket is built for volume on materials that heap, like mulch or snow. A fertilizer bucket is shaped for material that won’t heap. A longer floor and lip keep flowing product inside the bucket, and a radial-convex side cutter pushes material higher as it fills.

The Dymax Fertilizer Bucket runs from 4.60 cyd on a Class 50 loader (such as Cat 926 / Deere 524) up to 9.00 cyd on a Class 80 (aka, Cat 972 / Deere 824), with 5.00 and 7.12 cyd in between.

Capacity is rated SAE heap; expect 85-90% of that on fertilizer.

Tell Dymax your machine make and model and target load, and we’ll spec the size and width to match — call 1-800-530-5407.
Standard is a replaceable bolt-on cutting edge in Cat or Deere patterns, bottom T1 wear plates, and rear wear pads. Optional bolt-on pads are available. 

Yes. The bucket for Class 70 loaders (such as Cat 950-962 / Deere 644-724) includes a standard recessed hook design for added dump height.

Dymax can custom-build wider-and-shorter or narrower configurations to meet height and width restrictions. Send your clearance and width constraints to our team for a custom design solution.
