A bucket for a front end loader is formed with a minimum number of parts so that it can easily be assembled held in fixtures and welded with robot welders. The bucket includes a unitary panel that forms a bottom wall and a rear wall, with a curved junction wall between the bottom and rear walls. An integral top rail is formed at the upper edge of the rear wall for structural integrity. The formed top rail is made with a sloped top rail wall to increase the visibility of a load in the bucket to an operator in a cab of a skid steer loader. The bucket walls and parts which weld thereon have locating tabs and mating edges for locating the parts automatically, so that they can be welded into position. The bucket is made with brackets for mounting it onto a quick attachment plate of a skid steer loader.
