Product Description

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

DESCRIPTION

The TAG V-Bottom Rock Bucket Series is engineered for the most demanding earthmoving conditions—including hard-packed ground, frozen soils, and rocky surfaces. Designed for machines in the 140,000–160,000 lb operating class (65–80 ton range), these buckets integrate a sharp V-shaped cutting edge with specialty rock teeth that maximize digging force and ground penetration in unforgiving terrain.

The V-profile not only boosts cutting performance but helps channel material efficiently into the bucket for improved load control. Built with reinforced shell structure, these buckets provide strength without excessive bulk, making them ideal for precision excavation in extreme soil conditions. Available for both excavator stick interfaces and backhoe setups, TAG’s V-Bottom buckets offer powerful, direct-to-target digging performance.
