New Rock Bucket

Bought this locally, is 63 inches wide, weighs 564 lbs. Have some big rocks to move and hope this will do the job.

The brochure I have from 2008 lists the lift capacity as 2800 lbs. at the pins.

Nice rock bucket :thumbsup:
My neighbor just got a new Kioti DK45 last fall. It has some strong hydraulics in the FEL. Makes my Kubota look sick in comparison.

Congratulations.

Thanks all. The biggest thing I can see with using a skidster attachment with a compact tractor is the ability to see the attachment. I have pallet forks and have a heck of a time seeing the forks when they are on the ground, same with the rock bucket. With the skidster you are much closer to the implement, not so with the tractor. I used the rock bucket for just a short time before we got an inch of rain and I could not see the tines on the end of the bucket.
