“Is a snow bucket skid steer attachment my best choice?”
Snow bucket attachments (sometimes known as “light material buckets”) for skid steer loaders allow an operator to either continuously scoop snow toward a pile or lift up a load of snow and transport it in any direction.

What is the difference between a snow bucket attachment and a snow pusher attachment?
Snow pusher attachments only push snow forward whereas snow bucket attachments scoop and collect snow in the bucket attachment as they drive. There are tradeoffs for each. Snow buckets can collect snow from a surface and transport it in any direction to a larger pile. A snow pusher, however, can only push snow in one direction—though they can often push much more snow than a snow bucket attachment can carry in a single pass.

Though snow buckets may carry less in a single load than a snow pusher, they may also cost less—nearly half the price. Part of this is due to their reduced size in comparison to a snow pusher and simple design—about as basic as skid steer attachments get.

Unlike typical skid steer bucket attachments, snow bucket attachments tend to be lighter—only needing to transport snow and not heavier construction or agricultural materials. Many also have slit windows cut out of the top sides to reduce weight and increase operator visibility—allowing you to easily see when your bucket is full before it overflows.

Some of the downsides to snow bucket attachments may range from a few safety considerations to mess. Snow buckets tend to lack a safety feature known as a “trip edge” that allows the attachment to conform objects they come in contact with in spring-loaded buckling action. The lack of this feature means you gotta take things a little slower for the sake of safety. Also, snow buckets suffer from overfilling and excessive windrowing—or the overflowed trails that form on the edges.

All of this being said, snow bucket attachments are incredible tools for clearing snow from smaller areas or moving banks of snow for stacking away from paved areas.
What are some Snow Bucket Size Considerations?
When purchasing a snow bucket, make sure that the bucket is wider than your skid steer and is rated within the machine’s operating load capacity. Failure to consider these specifications can result in overworked and top-heavy machines—which are both inefficient as well as dangerous.
