Manitou Sugar Beet Bucket

Description

The Manitou Sugar Beet Bucket is a specialty attachment for harvest season. It scoops sugar beets and other root crops cleanly out of the field. An openwork structure made from 0.8-inch steel bars lets loose soil fall through while the beets stay in the bucket. Bars spaced 2.4 inches apart separate sugar beets from dirt without extra sorting. Plain sides keep the load contained during transport and dumping. This design handles harvested crops without dragging along the soil that standard buckets pick up. The result is a cleaner load headed to the truck or storage pile, with less dirt to sort out later.

An openwork spill guard sits across the top of the bucket. It gives operators a clear view of the load while it fills. That visibility helps prevent overfilling and keeps material from spilling during transport across the field. The Manitou Sugar Beet Bucket carries a heaped capacity of 660 gallons per pass. That moves a substantial volume of beets with each scoop. At 8 feet wide, the bucket covers a wide swath of windrow in a single pass. Overall weight comes in around 1,150 pounds, keeping the attachment manageable on mid-size telehandlers without straining hydraulics.

Built for strength, this bucket holds up to repeated seasonal use without the structure fatiguing under heavy loads. It mounts directly to a standard connection system, so operators skip pre-fitting and special hardware. It fits telehandlers already working the same fields, with no extra setup needed. That plug-and-play compatibility gets operators into the field faster during a tight harvest window. The Manitou Sugar Beet Bucket handles root crops like sugar beets and similar tubers. This bucket isn’t for earthwork or stone handling. Sticking to its intended use keeps the bars and structure in good condition for seasons to come. That protects the investment for growers who rely on it every harvest.
