my home-made rock bucket

muddstopper, As I posted at #9, it depends on what you want to do with it. In one case I wanted the smaller stones too, as well as some soil - I was filling in a hole about 2000 sq yds and a yard and a half deep and now have olives growing over it. In another case I wanted rocks as clean as possible, and bigger, to form the base of some new farm tracks.

I haven't worked on it much been too busy at work, any time off im sleeping lol. I set the Tines at 3 inch spacing.. 60" wide I think. My property looks like the surface of the moon and is riddled with loose rocks 3" to several ft in diameter. Makes it a ***** to brush hog. I won't know how well it works til I get out and use it. and will be a long process "dialling" it In because my property is 20 miles down the rd. Hopefully I won't have problems with roots and soil clogging like most have said because I'm working with soil and rock close to the surface

AWESOME build. And thank you for mentioning where you got your tools

Just a note- on standard wall thickness tube, you will be better off using the front pressure die locations. You are using the back in the photo from your first post. IF you do that on thin walled tube (.095) it will kink.

Great looking project. So much welding, but it will be worth it. I recognize that QT plate, looks like a Titan. I bought the same one to make a set of pallet forks. Excellent value there.
