OVERVIEW

When you need a fast, efficient, and dependable way to move fertilizer, grain, feed, compost, sawdust, or other light materials, the Haugen Small Compact Loader Fertilizer Bucket is the perfect attachment for your compact loader. Engineered for agricultural operations, landscaping crews, livestock farms, and material-handling facilities, this purpose-built fertilizer bucket delivers high capacity, low weight, and exceptional durability—allowing small loaders to move more material per pass with less fuel, less effort, and less time on the job.

Built by Haugen Attachments, a leading USA manufacturer known for long-lasting equipment, this fertilizer bucket offers the ideal balance of volume, strength, and efficiency. Its tall back design prevents material rollback, while the deep, rounded floor ensures smooth scooping and complete dumping. Whether you’re spreading fertilizer across fields, moving bulk feed in a livestock barn, loading sawdust into bedding areas, or handling lightweight aggregates, this compact loader bucket ensures accuracy, control, and consistent performance.

Unlike general-purpose buckets that lack the height or depth required for lighter materials, this specialized fertilizer bucket features an ultra-light yet strong construction that allows compact loaders to maximize their lifting capacity. The extra-high sides keep lighter materials inside the bucket even at full tilt, reducing spillage and cleanup time. This makes it ideal for operators who need to move high-volume, low-density materials quickly.

For farmers and agricultural professionals, the Haugen fertilizer bucket plays a vital role in day-to-day operations. Fertilizer applications require consistent spreading and accurate placement, both of which are improved when using a bucket built specifically for light materials. Grain and feed movement also becomes faster, cleaner, and more efficient. The bucket’s geometry minimizes sticking and clumping, ensuring that even damp or powdery materials flow smoothly during dumping.

Landscapers and nursery operations benefit from this bucket's ability to move mulch, compost, potting soil, and other light organic materials at high volumes. With compact loaders becoming increasingly popular on landscaping fleets, having a bucket designed for light materials helps increase productivity and reduce time spent on each load.

The bucket’s reinforced cutting edge ensures that the attachment withstands regular contact with abrasive surfaces like concrete, gravel, and compacted soil. Though designed for lighter materials, the cutting edge provides durability and longevity, preventing premature wear and ensuring that operators can scoop efficiently in a variety of environments. The high-strength steel shell provides long-term resistance against impacts, corrosion, and bending.

Compact loader operators also appreciate the bucket’s balanced weight distribution. Heavier buckets often reduce the effective lift capacity of smaller loaders, but this fertilizer bucket's optimized ratio of strength to weight ensures maximum usable payload. Operators can load more material per pass without exceeding the loader’s capacity, improving overall efficiency. When you’re handling dozens or hundreds of loads per day, this difference significantly boosts productivity.

Mounting the bucket is quick and secure thanks to its standard quick-attach compatibility. The attachment locks firmly into place so operators can begin working immediately. Haugen’s precise welds and tight tolerances ensure a proper fit every time, reducing rattle, play, and long-term structural fatigue.

For buyers comparing fertilizer bucket options, the Haugen Small Compact Loader Fertilizer Bucket stands out for its USA-built quality, long-lasting construction, and thoughtful agricultural-focused design. Instead of adapting a generic light-duty bucket, Haugen has engineered this model specifically for light-material flow, making it a preferred choice for farms, nurseries, ranches, grain operations, and landscaping companies.

Whether you’re loading bulk fertilizer, distributing grain, moving mulch, or transporting sawdust, this bucket ensures you get the job done efficiently and reliably. With proper maintenance, this attachment delivers years of dependable performance, often outlasting lower-quality imported buckets many times over.
