JOHN DEERE SEVERE-DUTY CONSTRUCTION BUCKETS Designed to take advantage of the improved performance and boom design of the large-frame 332G skid-steer and 333G compact track loader (CTL), John Deere now offers 90-inch severe- duty construction buckets. Available with a serrated edge or as a tooth bucket, these new additions to the John Deere lineup of Worksite Pro attachments are redefining expectations of what compact equipment can accomplish. The 90-inch buckets come standard with a serrated edge that's reversible to a smooth side. The serrated side is efficient for cutting a graded surface, loosening hard-to-penetrate materials such as packed gravel, or breaking up frozen ground. The smooth side cutting edge is more efficient for fine, finish-grade work and back- dragging materials. Bucket teeth are also available as an option. The welded-on teeth drastically increase digging ability and help cut into rocky soil, scoop loose dirt or dig out roots.
