John Deere Excavator Attachments
Superior Buckets builds John Deere excavator attachments for crews that need the right fit, strong welds, and parts that are ready for work. Also, we offer digging buckets, trenching buckets, smooth edge buckets, skeleton buckets, cleanup buckets, rakes, picks, and custom builds.
Because fitment matters, each attachment is built around the machine size and the job it needs to do. Also, we use OEM-style bucket shape, so the bucket keeps the right curl, angle, and feel. In key wear areas, we use Hardox® wear plate, so the bucket can hold up better in tough ground.

John Deere Buckets, Rakes, Picks, and Custom Builds
Whether you need a stock bucket or a custom build, Superior Buckets can help with John Deere excavator attachments that fit right and work hard. Also, if your job needs a special size or setup, we can build around that need.
Digging Buckets
Digging buckets are built for daily trench work, grading, dirt moving, and loading. Because the bucket shape matters, we keep the fit and curl practical for real machine use. Also, tooth and edge options can help match the bucket to the ground.
- Good for dirt, clay, sand, and general digging
- Tooth and edge options available
- Built for clean fitment and strong wear life
Trenching Buckets
Trenching buckets are a good choice for pipe, drain, and utility work. When the job needs a narrow cut, these buckets help keep the trench clean and tight. Because space can be limited, custom widths are also useful.
- Narrow widths for tighter digging
- Useful for drainage and utility lines
- Custom widths available when needed
Smooth Edge Buckets
Smooth edge buckets work well for grading, backfill, cleanup, and finish work. Since they do not use teeth, they leave a cleaner bottom and move loose dirt well. Also, they help when the job needs a smooth pass.
- Good for finish grading and cleanup
- Clean bottom without tooth marks
- Optional wear upgrades available
Skeleton Buckets
Skeleton buckets are made for sorting dirt, rock, roots, and brush. Because each job sorts material a little differently, tine spacing can be set up for your work. That way, you can screen what you need and carry off the waste.
- Sorts rock, roots, brush, and debris
- Custom tine spacing available
- Good for screening loose material
Cleanup Buckets
Cleanup buckets help move loose dirt, dress up sites, and handle finish work faster. Also, they give you more width when the job calls for a cleaner pass. Because of that, they are a solid choice for final cleanup and backfill work.
- Wide bucket layout for cleanup work
- Good for backfill and loose material
- Useful for shaping and dressing jobsites
Rakes and Picks
Rakes and picks are built for clearing, prying, ripping, and sorting. When the job has roots, brush, stone, or stumps, they give the machine a better tool for rough work. Also, they help save the bucket from work it should not handle alone.
- Good for roots, stumps, brush, and stone
- Rake tine spacing can be customized
- Built for clearing and tear-out work
Need a Custom John Deere Attachment?
Superior Buckets also builds custom attachments for John Deere compact excavators. If a stock bucket is not the right fit, we can help with bucket width, edge style, teeth, tooth count, tine spacing, added wear parts, and other build details. Then your attachment can match the job instead of forcing the job to match the bucket.
However, we do not add extra weight just to make the attachment look stronger. Instead, we focus on proper fitment, strong welds, clean layout, and useful support where it matters. That way, the attachment is built for the job without hurting how the machine works.
Stock attachments are available, but custom builds give you more control when the job calls for a certain width, edge, tooth setup, or special steel layout.
Custom Build Options
- Custom bucket widths
- Smooth edge or tooth edge
- Tooth count options
- Skeleton bucket tine spacing
- Rake tine spacing
- Extra wear parts
- Custom steel builds
