Choosing the Right Digging Bucket: Get In. Get It Done.

Your digging bucket isn’t a sidekick—it’s the frontline of your productivity. The right one cuts smoother, loads faster, and holds up when conditions get tough. The wrong one? It drags your job down and wears your machine out.

At Taurox, we believe in doing more jobs, faster. So if you’re still guessing which digging bucket is right for your work, this guide is built to help you hit the ground running.

What’s Beneath You Matters: Match the Bucket to the Ground

Every jobsite is different. That’s why the first step to choosing a digging bucket is knowing your ground game.

Soil Types & Bucket Fit

• Loose or sandy soil → Go lighter, with wider tooth spacing for quick fills and easy discharge.
  
  

• Dense clay or hardpack → Choose a narrower digging bucket with tight, wear-resistant teeth to cut clean and reduce drag.
  
  

• Rocky or abrasive terrain → Reach for reinforced plates, heavy-duty welds, and side cutters that can take a beating without breaking down.
  
  

If your ground conditions change throughout the season, keep multiple buckets on hand. Fast attachment changeouts mean you’re always running the right tool.

Bigger Isn’t Always Better

Yes, we all want to move more material—but oversizing your digging bucket can cost more than it gives.

Choose a Size That Fits Your Machine

• Oversized buckets strain your hydraulic system
  
  

• You’ll burn more fuel, risk tipping, and push your arm and boom too far
  
  

• Too much load = premature wear, or worse—equipment failure
  
  

Always match your bucket to your machine’s specs. Taurox buckets are designed to balance volume and power for the best performance with every scoop.

Tooth Design: The Business End of the Bucket

If the bucket is your blade, the teeth are the edge. Choose them wisely.

• Standard teeth → Great for general-purpose digging
  
  

• Tiger teeth → Sharper and more aggressive for compacted or sticky soil
  
  

• Twin tiger or rock teeth → Built to shred through boulders, frost, and asphalt
  
  

Spacing also matters. Too far apart, and you’ll leave material behind. Too tight, and you’ll sacrifice penetration.

Built to Last—Not Just Built to Work

Durability isn’t just about specs—it’s about trust. That’s why we overbuild every Taurox digging bucket.

Look for These Features

• HardCore™ steel construction (yes, it’s as tough as it sounds)
  
  

• Reinforced gussets and wear strips where the real force hits
  
  

• Weld-on or bolt-on cutting edges to extend working life
  
  

• Side plates built for punishment—not just appearance
  
  

All field-tested. All backed by our 3-year industry-leading warranty.

Compatibility = Speed

Nothing slows a job down like a bucket that doesn’t fit. Taurox digging buckets are designed for fast coupler swaps, pin-on compatibility, and minimal fuss.

Switch attachments in minutes—not hours—and get back to work.

When to Replace Your Digging Bucket

Even the toughest tools wear down. Don’t wait until you’re losing productivity to make the switch.

Signs It’s Time:

• Cracked or warped bucket body
  
  

• Worn or missing teeth
  
  

• Uneven cutting edge or reduced penetration
  
  

• Structural fatigue that compromises safety
  
  

A fresh digging bucket keeps your crew moving and your jobsite safer.
