V50 Multi-Purpose Bucket Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT WIDTH MULTI-PURPOSE BUCKET SHOULD I PURCHASE?
Typically, the bucket width should be larger than the width of the skid steer.
The material to be handled by the Multi-Purpose Bucket needs to be taken into account. For example, logs can be handled easier with a wider bucket whereas dense items like rocks may overload the skid steer when using a large width bucket. Always reference recommended loader capacity before ordering.
If you are unsure about what width to purchase, contact your local dealer or call Virnig at 800-648-2408.
WHY DOES VIRNIG MANUFACTURING USE NITROSTEEL® CYLINDER RODS?
NitroSteel® rods are a superior performing alternative to chrome plating. The finish offers improved corrosion resistance and better grease retention.
Chrome plated cylinder rods can flake or pit, causing seals to be damaged or destroyed; resulting in downtime and extensive, costly repairs.
NitroSteel® rods perform better, increase the service life of a cylinder, and are the most cost-effective choice.
WHICH SURFACE MATERIAL IS THE VIRNIG MULTI-PURPOSE BUCKET BEST SUITED FOR?
Virnig Multi-Purpose Buckets can be used on nearly every surface, however some sticky materials such as clay require additional maintenance for longevity. Cleaning around hinge points and behind the cylinders will ensure long-term performance.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE HOLDING VALVE OPTION?
The holding valve reduces the amount of hydraulic pressure lost while working and creates more clamping force. This allows the Multi-Purpose Bucket to better hold an item within the jaws and not experience hydraulic movement when grading.
WHAT EDGE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VIRNIG BUCKET?
This Virnig Bucket can be paired with a Bolt-On Edge, Serrated Edge, Toothbar Over Weld-On Edge, Toothbar Over Weld-On and Bolt-On Edge, or Weld-On Teeth.
HOW TO KNOW IF THE ATTACHMENT WILL FIT MY SKID STEER HYDRAULIC PLUMBING?
Virnig Manufacturing has done real world testing and research to determine the proper length and position of hydraulic hoses for a truly universal fit on any skid loader brand. We match our research with high quality hoses, properly sized couplers, and JIC (Joint Industry Council) flange fittings to prevent leaks.
