Tractor-mounted Loader Buckets

Rear tractor buckets are one of the most useful and versatile accessories for those working in the agricultural or forestry sector. These tools are designed to facilitate the loading, transport and discharge of various types of materials such as soil, gravel, wood and debris. There are several types of tipping earth-moving buckets available on the market, varying in capacity, tipping method and robustness. The main types include:

• Manual tipping buckets: suitable for those looking for an economical and easy-to-use option. They require manual intervention by the operator for the discharge of the material.
• Hydraulic tipping buckets: ideal for those who need greater efficiency and convenience. Tipping is performed by a hydraulic system, reducing the effort required by the operator.

The rear pallets for sale in this catalogue are equipped with a three-point hitch and are suitable for loading and moving a wide variety of materials such as tools, fuel tanks, spraying equipment, generators and any heavy material, in all conditions.

Rear tractor buckets are ideal for transporting, lifting and loading any type of soft or granular material, even if it is very heavy. They are available in different lengths and configurations: from 100 cm to 140 cm, with manual or hydraulic tipping. This variety of rear loaders can meet the transport, moving and lifting needs of most users in the agricultural and non-agricultural fields.

The use of rear pallets is particularly advantageous in contexts where large quantities of materials need to be moved efficiently, saving time and reducing manual labour.

Tilting earth-moving blades are used in a wide range of activities, including:

• Land levelling: they allow the material to be distributed evenly over the ground, facilitating levelling operations in preparation for sowing or construction.
• Debris removal: they are used to collect and transport debris produced during pruning, cleaning of green areas or forest maintenance.
• Loading materials: they facilitate the loading of construction materials, such as sand and gravel, significantly reducing the effort required for manual loading.

Rear tractor buckets are suitable for both professional and hobbyist and semi-professional use. In industrial contexts, these buckets are often used for large-scale operations that require sturdy, high-performance equipment. In agriculture and forestry, they are used for everyday activities that require the use of medium or high-powered tractors. Small farmers and landowners can also benefit from the use of rear buckets, especially manual tipping buckets, to carry out maintenance and improvement work on their properties.

Rear tractor buckets are built to be sturdy and durable, so they can handle the demands of even the most difficult conditions. The basic structure of this equipment consists of several key components, each of which plays a vital role in its overall operation. Let's take a closer look at the main elements that make up a rear tractor bucket.

• Body: The body is the main element of the loader, designed to hold the material to be loaded or discharged. It is made of heavy-duty steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh working conditions. The dimensions of the body can vary in length and depth depending on the model and are designed to optimise loading efficiency.
• Tipping system: Rear shovels can be equipped with a manual or hydraulic tipping system. In the case of manual tipping, the operator must manually operate a lever to tilt the body and unload the material. In models with hydraulic tipping, the body is tilted by a system of hydraulic pistons, which allows the contents to be unloaded more easily and accurately.
• Ground blade: Some models of tipping earth-moving buckets are equipped with a ground blade, an accessory that facilitates the loading of material in reverse. The blade allows the material to be scraped and collected from the ground, making the loading process more efficient.
• Tractor attachment: Rear shovels are equipped with an attachment system that connects them to the tractor. This attachment can be standard, compatible with most tractors, or specific to certain models. The attachment ensures that the shovel remains stable and secure during loading, transport and discharge operations.
• Support structure: The support structure of the shovel is designed to ensure maximum stability and strength. This structure includes elements such as side reinforcements and the main frame, which distribute the weight of the load evenly and reduce mechanical stress on the shovel components.
• Dimensions and capacity: Rear shovels are available in different sizes that vary according to the length and depth of the shovel, as well as the load capacity. The load capacity, expressed in kilograms, is a determining factor in choosing the most suitable shovel for your needs. The size of the bucket directly affects operational efficiency, as a longer and deeper bucket can hold a greater volume of material.

Tilting tractor buckets work in a simple but efficient way, making loading, transporting and discharging materials easier and faster. The operation of this equipment is based on a set of mechanical and, in some cases, hydraulic components that allow the operator to handle heavy materials with minimal effort.

• Connection to the tractor: The operation of rear shovels begins with their connection to the tractor. This is done through a coupling system that attaches to the rear of the tractor. Once connected, the shovel becomes an extension of the tractor itself, ready to be used in loading and discharge operations.
• Loading material: Material can be loaded into the bucket in two main ways, depending on whether or not there is a ground blade. In models equipped with a blade, loading takes place while the tractor is moving in reverse, scraping and collecting material from the ground directly into the shovel. In models without a blade, loading can be done manually or using other tools such as excavators or buckets to fill the shovel.
• Transporting material: Once loaded, the material is transported in the bucket as the tractor moves to its destination. During transport, it is important to maintain a moderate speed and steady driving to prevent the material from accidentally spilling.
• Unloading the material: The material can be unloaded in two main ways: manual tipping or hydraulic tipping. In the case of manual tipping, the operator must activate a lever or similar mechanism to tilt the shovel and release the contents. In models with hydraulic tipping, the body is tilted by a system of hydraulic pistons that allow the material to be discharged quickly and effortlessly. The hydraulic system can be controlled directly from the tractor cab, offering greater comfort and precision in discharge operations.

Rear tractor buckets offer a number of significant advantages over other material handling and loading systems, making them a preferred choice for many agricultural, forestry and land maintenance applications. These advantages stem from their robustness, versatility and ease of use, which make them indispensable tools for anyone working in these sectors.

The option of equipping the shovels with a hydraulic tipping system further increases efficiency, allowing the operator to discharge material without physical effort and with precision.
• Time and labour savings: The use of rear pallets significantly reduces the time and labour required for material handling operations. Instead of having to load materials manually or use less efficient tools, tipping earth-moving pallets allow the same operations to be completed with less effort and in less time.
• Versatility of use: Rear tractor buckets are extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. They can be used for levelling ground, removing debris, loading construction materials and many other operations.
• Robustness and durability: Rear shovels are built to last, even in difficult operating conditions. Their sturdy steel construction and robust design allow them to handle heavy loads and operate on rough terrain without suffering damage.
• Ease of maintenance: Another advantage of tipping earth-moving buckets is their ease of maintenance. The simple but effective structure of this equipment requires minimal maintenance, which can be easily carried out by the operator. In hydraulic models, the system only requires periodic checks of the oil level and the condition of the hoses, ensuring efficient operation at all times.

Tractor-mounted rear buckets differ in several characteristics that determine their use and operational efficiency. These types meet specific needs, offering options suitable for both light work and heavier operations. The main types of rear buckets include:

Manual tipping buckets for tractor-mounted equipment are the simplest and most affordable solution for those who need to load and unload materials without incurring high costs. With this type of bucket, once the operator has reached the discharge point, they must manually activate a lever or mechanism that allows the bucket to tip, thus releasing the load. Although this system requires physical effort, it is still a practical solution for small and medium-sized agricultural work.

These buckets are particularly suitable for:

• Occasional operations: When the shovel is not used frequently, the manual system offers a good compromise between cost and functionality.
• Hobby or semi-professional use: Suitable for those who do not need a hydraulic shovel and prefer simple and reliable equipment.
• Transporting light materials: Perfect for handling materials such as soil, sand or gravel in moderate quantities.

Hydraulic tipping buckets are the preferred choice for those who need greater efficiency and convenience in loading and discharge operations. Thanks to the hydraulic system, the bucket can be easily tipped directly from the tractor cab, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the time required for operations. This type is particularly suitable for contexts where speed and precision are essential.

These buckets are ideal for:

• Intensive operations: Suitable for those who need to move large quantities of material quickly, such as on farms or construction sites.

Tilting earthmoving buckets can be equipped with a ground blade, an accessory that facilitates the loading of material directly from the ground. The blade, positioned at the front of the bucket, is useful for operations that require the collection of loose materials such as earth or gravel. Shovels with a ground blade are particularly suitable for ground levelling operations, where the need to collect and move material efficiently is essential.

Shovels without a ground blade, on the other hand, are generally used to load already collected materials or for transport operations. These models are simpler and less expensive, ideal for those who do not need to collect material from the ground.

The tipping system is one of the most important features of rear tractor buckets. There are two main tipping modes: manual and hydraulic.

• Manual tipping requires the operator to activate a mechanism to tilt the shovel and unload the material. This system is more economical and simpler, but requires physical effort and can be less efficient for heavy loads or frequent operations.
• Hydraulic tipping, on the other hand, uses a system of hydraulic pistons to tilt the shovel, allowing the operator to discharge material effortlessly and with greater precision. This system is controlled directly from the tractor cab, making it more convenient and quicker to use, especially in professional or industrial contexts.

The load capacity of a tipping earth-moving shovel indicates the maximum weight it can carry and is expressed in kilograms. The rear shovels available on the market vary in load capacity from 300 to 700 kg. The choice of load capacity depends on the type of material to be handled and the intensity of the work. A higher load capacity allows more material to be moved in a single load, increasing operational efficiency. However, it is also important to consider the compatibility of the load capacity with the power of the tractor to ensure safe and optimal use of the equipment.

The length of the shovel, measured in centimetres, is a crucial parameter that determines the load capacity and operational efficiency of the shovel. Lengths range from 100 to 200 cm, offering options for different types of operations. A longer shovel allows for greater material volume to be transported, but may require a tractor-mounted of adequate power to be used effectively. The choice of length depends on the type of work to be done and the size of the tractor.

The depth of the shovel, also expressed in centimetres, generally varies from 55 to 80 cm. This measurement directly affects the shovel's capacity to hold material during transport. Greater depth allows for the transport of a larger volume of material, making the shovel more efficient in loading and discharge operations. However, as with length, greater depth requires adequate tractor power to ensure stability and operational efficiency.

Choosing the right tipping tractor loader for your needs requires careful consideration of various technical and operational factors. Tilting buckets vary greatly in terms of capacity, size and features, so it is important to consider how each option meets the specific needs of the job at hand.
