CID Attachments 4-in-1 Bucket For Mini Skid Steers

The CID Attachments 4-in-1 Bucket For Mini Skid Steers is a multifunctional front attachment that enables compact utility machine operators to doze, grade, scoop, clamp, and load without switching implements. Designed for the Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT, and similar mini skid steer platforms, the 4-in-1 Bucket uses a clamshell-style upper jaw that opens and closes via the machine’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit, unlocking four distinct operating modes from a single attachment. Available in seven widths from 36″ to 72″ (models MINI4N1-36 through MINI4N1-72), this bucket is a practical solution for landscapers, contractors, nurseries, and property owners who want maximum versatility from a single compact machine.

Four Operating Modes

The defining feature of the 4-in-1 design is the hydraulically operated upper jaw that converts the bucket between its different modes without any manual reconfiguration:

Dozing and back-dragging: with the jaw closed and the bucket face forward, the attachment functions as a blade for pushing and back-dragging soil, gravel, and debris across a grade surface.

Loading and scooping: in conventional bucket mode, the 4-in-1 collects and moves soil, mulch, rock, and similar bulk materials with the same capacity as a standard bucket of equal width.

Clamping: the jaw closes on irregularly shaped material including logs, rocks, pallets, and bundled debris, allowing the machine to pick up and carry items that would spill from a conventional open-top bucket.

Clean-up and scraping: the open jaw position allows the cutting edge to scrape cleanly at grade, collecting fine material that a closed bucket would push ahead of it.

Construction Quality

The 4-in-1 Bucket is fabricated from structural steel with reinforced side plates and a heavy-duty cutting edge across the bucket base. The upper jaw pivot and hydraulic cylinder connections are reinforced at the mounting points to handle the clamping loads generated when the machine’s hydraulics close the jaw on dense or heavy material. The cutting edge is replaceable and can be sourced as a bolt-on wear part.

Width Selection

The seven available widths (36″, 44″, 48″, 54″, 60″, 66″, and 72″) allow operators to select the model that fits their machine’s rated operating capacity and the width of their typical work areas. The 36″ model is suited to the narrowest passages and lightest machines, while the 66″ and 72″ models deliver productivity levels approaching what a small skid steer with a standard bucket could achieve. In all cases, the operator should verify that the selected width and bucket capacity remain within the host machine’s rated operating specifications.

Typical Applications

Landscape contractors use the 4-in-1 bucket to move mulch and topsoil in tight residential spaces where a full-size machine cannot safely maneuver. Property owners use it to clean up storm debris, manage brush piles, and grade gravel driveways. Nurseries use the clamping function to handle large root balls and balled-and-burlapped trees. The machine’s compact footprint and this bucket’s versatility combine to make a mini skid steer with a 4-in-1 bucket one of the most productive single-machine solutions available for light to medium-duty property maintenance and light construction work.

Hydraulic Requirements

The upper jaw operates from the auxiliary hydraulic circuit present on most Toro Dingo, Bobcat MT, and compatible mini skid steer machines. No special high-flow hydraulic kit is required. The jaw moves smoothly through its full range of motion at standard auxiliary flow rates, and the cylinder provides sufficient clamping force for most material handling tasks within the machine’s capacity range.
