Features of AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in)
Quick Coupler / Hook-Up Mount
Built to fit most 20-metric-ton excavator machines, this heavy-duty excavator bucket uses 80 mm pins, 17 1/2” pin centers, and a 12 7/8” pin boss spread for AFE dimensions. The mount is designed for a secure fit, reliable attachment, and less time spent fighting your equipment.
Made from Hardox® 450
The AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in) is built from Hardox® 450, an abrasion-resistant steel manufactured by SSAB in Sweden. Its strength and structural properties make it a solid choice for heavy-duty excavator work, severe jobsite conditions, and handling demanding material.
Reinforced Side Bottom Plates
Reinforced side bottom plates add durability where your bucket takes the most abuse: the bottom corners of the trench. This helps the duty bucket withstand hard digging, repeated loading, and rough ground conditions.
Bolt-On Cutting Edge
The bolt-on cutting edge is designed for field serviceability. When one side wears down, remove it, reverse it, and keep working with the other side. That means longer usable life from your bucket and less downtime between loads. See below for more technical specifications.
Benefits of AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in)
High Performance
The AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in) features a dual-radius shell profile that improves material flow into the bucket. Paired with strong sidebars, the bucket shape helps operators load more material in less time and keep every load moving with control.
Versatility
Couplers on 20-metric-ton excavators and loaders allow AFE bucket attachments to be shared and swapped in seconds, all from the safety of the cab. That means less downtime, faster attachment changes, and better productivity across demanding jobs.
Heavy-Duty Purpose
This heavy-duty excavator bucket is built for a wide range of impact and abrasion conditions, including mixed dirt, clay, rock, and other severe materials. Designed for tough excavation, grading, and loading work, it delivers the strength and performance operators need when a general-duty bucket is not enough.

Premium Heavy Duty Bucket FAQs
What Jobs Is the Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in) Best Suited For?
The AFE Premium Heavy Duty Bucket 1650 mm (66 in) is built for demanding excavation, land clearing, grading, and material handling. Its heavy-duty construction makes it ideal for moving large loads of soil, rock, roots, and other tough materials. Whether you’re preparing a site, digging trenches, or loading debris, this excavator heavy-duty bucket is designed to deliver dependable performance on challenging jobs.
How Do I Know if This Bucket Fits My Excavator?
Choosing the right heavy-duty bucket starts with your machine’s operating weight, pin dimensions, coupler style, and the work you perform most often. Our team can help you verify compatibility and recommend the right bucket or attachment for your excavator, so you get the performance and durability you need without guesswork.
What Guarding Options Are Recommended with the AFE Bucket or Rake?
We recommend Heavy Equipment Armor for front and top guarding to help protect the excavator and operator from flying and falling debris during heavy-duty land clearing, brush work, and debris removal.
Which Mulching Attachment Would You Recommend for the AFE Bucket?
We recommend pairing your AFE bucket or rake with an Advanced Forest Equipment RDM Series mulcher. Built for excavators, the RDM Series is more than just spinning disc attachments. Its hydraulic power-transfer and reduction-shroud system efficiently forces branches, shrubbery, roots, and tree stumps into the cutting teeth for productive mulching in demanding field conditions.
Will My AFE Heavy Duty Excavator Bucket Fit My Caterpillar Excavator?
Yes. The AFE Premium Heavy Duty Buckets are built to fit most 20-metric-ton excavators and loaders, including compatible Caterpillar machines, like other CAT buckets. Compared to general-duty CAT bucket attachments, this heavy-duty excavator bucket is built for larger loads, tougher material, and heavier jobsite work.
