About Us

Stout Buckets is a family owned and operated small business based in Knapp, Wisconsin that has been manufacturing world class skid steer attachments for almost twenty years.   The Stout Buckets story starts many decades ago when Orville Smith started a farm implement that sold used tractor parts.  Two of Orville’s sons took over the implement business and operated it for almost thirty years until they founded Smith Equipment and began manufacturing skid steer attachments.  The company is now owned and operated by Orville’s granddaughter and her husband and employs world class fabricators and welders that handcraft every Stout attachment you purchase.

Stout Buckets mission is clear, our goal is to provide the best attachments at the best price.

For almost twenty years now farmers, contractors, landscapers and hobbyists, have relied on Stout Buckets to help them get the job done at prices that leave more money in your pocket.   But don’t confuse our lower prices with lower quality, our buckets are built as tough as they come.  Which is why we have dealers all over the USA that sell our attachments to their customers because “they work, they look great and they never come back”.

In addition to the Stout brand of attachments, Stout Buckets offers Lowe® brand post-hole augers and trenchers, MTW Power Rakes, Montana Post Drivers, and Berlon attachments.
