Wheel loader equipped with a Dymax feedyard light material bucket, ready to load

Feedyard Light Material Buckets for Wheel Loaders

REINFORCED FOR REPEATED DUMP-SHAKING.

Standard light-material buckets crack in feedyards — not from heavy material, but from the constant shaking of high-hour feed loading, day after day.

The Dymax Feedyard Bucket is reinforced exactly where those buckets fail:

  • heavier center hinge plates
  • tighter pivot connection
  • added gusseting that spreads the load instead of concentrating it.

“I have been ordering Dymax buckets for over 16 years.

“I never once had a warranty claim or product issue. I feel on the light material buckets there is more reinforcement on the bottom outside edges than other buckets.

“This is a great company to work with and they are a great choice for all your attachment needs.”

– Larry Cummings, Foley Equipment

FAQ

Cracking comes from cycles, not weight. Every dump hammers the hinge and pivot connection, and over thousands of repetitions, a welded-tube pivot design fatigues and splits — often around the 5,000–8,000-hour mark. The Dymax Feedyard Bucket reinforces those exact points, which is why operators who switch stop paying for repeat repairs.
The Dymax Feedyard Bucket runs from 4.00 to 10.50 cubic yards across Class 60 to Class 80 wheel loaders — machines like Cat 930–972, Deere 624–824, or Komatsu W320–WA480.

The right capacity depends on your machine’s breakout force and the material you’re loading. Send Dymax your loader model and feed type for an exact match.

Feed rations, silage, distillers grain, and similar bulk feed commodities. The wedge floor helps the bucket self-clean and load evenly, so you get full passes without material hanging up. For heavier or abrasive commodities, contact Dymax to confirm the right configuration.
The cutting edges are bolt-on and replaceable. The bottom wear plates are T1 steel, and the rear wear pads bolt on. As they wear, the edges and pads can be replaced instead of rebuilding the bucket. Contact Dymax for replacement wear parts for your model.

Cracked buckets cost some operators $15,000 in repairs before they switch. The reinforcement stops that cycle. You spend a little more up front, and replace bolt-on wear parts instead of rebuilding the whole bucket. Contact Dymax for a quote sized to your operation.
