Product Description

TAG V-Bottom Rock Bucket | Heavy Duty Quick Coupler Rock | 12"–24" Width | Machine Size 65–80 Ton | For Excavators & Backhoes

DESCRIPTION

The TAG V-Bottom Rock Bucket Series with quick coupler interface is purpose-built for excavators and backhoes in the 140,000–160,000 lb (65–80 ton) class working in rocky, frostbound, or compacted soil conditions. Its engineered V-profile cutting edge concentrates digging force and reduces resistance in aggressive terrain, while specialty rock teeth ensure deeper ground penetration and breakage capability.

Available in multiple widths and capacities, each bucket incorporates high-strength steel construction, optimized geometry for trench control, and a quick coupler-ready backplate—allowing fast exchange on heavy-duty machines. Designed to handle severe duty cycles in mining, demolition, or extreme utility work, this lineup delivers unmatched penetration and fill efficiency in unforgiving soil conditions.
