DYMAX LIGHT MATERIAL PLUS BUCKET

FEWER REBUILDS. MORE SEASONS.

Light material doesn’t mean light duty. Dairy, feedyard, and high-hour loading put thousands of cycles on a bucket every season — enough to crack and wear out a standard light material bucket. The Light Material Plus is built to take it: a 20% stronger moldboard, thicker steel, and convex radial side cutters that hold their shape, load after load.

“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.”

WHY THE PLUS BUCKET LASTS LONGER

  • 20% Stronger Moldboard — Thicker steel where high-cycle loading puts the most stress.
  • Convex Radial Side Cutters — Hold their shape and retain material better than straight cutters, for longer edge life.
  • Reinforced Hinge Plates and Gussets on Larger Models — The hinge area is where big, high-cycle buckets crack first; extra plate and gusseting spread the load.
  • Built for High-Cycle Duty — Engineered for the dairy, feedyard, and high-hour work.

KEY FEATURES

  • Handles materials up to 2,000 lbs per cubic yard
  • Flat floor with T1 bottom wear plates and rear wear pads
  • Reinforced construction on larger models — including a wedge floor and heavier hinge plates
  • Replaceable bolt-on cutting edges

OPTIONS

  • Pin-on lugging
  • Quick coupler hooks
  • Custom design solutions

FAQ

High-cycle loading is the usual cause — thousands of scoops per season concentrate stress on the moldboard and side cutters. Buckets built with lighter steel or straight cutters give out fastest. The Light Material Plus reinforces exactly those areas to extend service life.
The Plus is built for higher-cycle work. It uses a 20% stronger moldboard, thicker steel, and convex radial side cutters, so it holds up in dairy, feedyard, and high-hour operations that wear a standard light material bucket out early. The standard bucket is the better value for lighter-duty or occasional use.

Corn, silage, hay, cottonseed, and similar light materials up to 2,000 lbs per cubic yard. For denser or more abrasive materials, ask Dymax about a custom design.

The Light Material Plus fits wheel loaders such as Cat 930-980 and Deere 524-744, in capacities from 3.25 to 9.0 cubic yards.

Oversizing a light material bucket costs you breakout and stability, so match it to your machine. Send your loader make and model to Dymax Sales for the right fit.
