Yes! BucketMate universally fits all 4-in-1 buckets (big or small, old or new) in the compact tractor range.

When will I receive my BucketMate? And how much does shipping cost?
Shipping information to be determined. Reach out to Patrick O'Brien for enquiries.
Is it meant to replace dedicated attachments?
No. It is designed to make 4-in-1 buckets capable to do what dedicated attachments can do when completing tasks at a smaller scale. When you are moving 10 pallets a day BucketMate works, when you need to move 100 pallets a day use the dedicated attachment.
