V50 Utility Bucket Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT BUCKET WIDTH SHOULD I PURCHASE?
Typically, the bucket width should be wider than the tires or tracks of the loader. The attachment should also have a recommended loader capacity rating that matches or is lower than the loader lift capacity.
To prevent potential overloading issues, compare the loader’s lifting capacity and tipping weight to the weight of the attachment plus the estimated weight of a load. Different materials will change the estimated weight of a load. Use caution with dense items like rocks.
Contact your local dealer or call Virnig at 800-648-2408 for more information regarding proper width.
WHAT IS THE BUCKET BACK ANGLE AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT BUCKET PERFORMANCE?
This Virnig Bucket has a 66 degree back angle. The bucket back angle affects the rollback and dump angles of a skid steer. If the angle on the back is too large the bucket may not roll back enough, and if there’s not enough back angle, the bucket may not dump properly. The higher or more vertical the back angle, the more volume the bucket is able to hold.
WHAT EDGE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE UTILITY BUCKET?
Standard Bolt-On Edges and Serrated Bolt-On Edges are available installed from the factory.

WHAT TYPE OF ATTACHMENT INTERFACE/HOOKUP DOES VIRNIG USE?
All Virnig skid steer attachments are manufactured with a universal mount to fit most skid steer loaders. The mounting frame is built to ISO 24410 and SAE J2513 standards.
All Virnig mini skid steer attachments are manufactured with a Toro®/mini universal mount, Bobcat® mount, or ASV® mount.
WHY DOES VIRNIG USE NITROSTEEL® CYLINDER RODS?
Virnig uses NitroSteel® rods because they 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 and destroy the seals or other internal components; resulting in downtime and expensive repairs.
A NitroSteel® rod will perform better and increase the service life of a cylinder, making it the cost-effective choice.

WHAT IS THE SETUP TIME FOR A VIRNIG ATTACHMENT?
Most Virnig attachments are ready to work right off the pallet.
There may be specific scenarios in which additional setup time will be required. To minimize setup time, Virnig Manufacturing requires the machine brand and model to be listed in every order for attachments with hydraulic components. This ensures proper hose length, routing, and coupler sizing. In addition, all hydraulic Virnig Attachments are tested for leaks and proper operation before leaving the factory.
HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET REPLACEMENT PARTS?
Most parts for Virnig skid steer attachments are available in-stock and can be shipped as early as the same day the order is received. Fabricated and back ordered parts are available with a reasonable lead time. Virnig uses several shipping options to provide timely and cost effective delivery to customers.

All Virnig parts and attachments are warranted for one year from the end user’s date of purchase, or the dealer’s date of first rental/demonstration. If the warranty period has expired, a sales receipt or first rental slip will be required for warranty consideration.
