rock bucket

[rodsauder]

Just wanted to show you the rock bucket I started to build. I was looking to buy one and wanted it only 48" to fit between trees, buildings etc. Picked up the steel yesterday afternoon and started work. Basically it is 1'' x 2'' flat bar with 3/4'' round . The property I bought grows rocks. I have only lived there less than a year, but I seem to have a bumper crop.

Here in nw WI...... I also have a bumper crop of rocks....
I'm thinking of a similar strap on accessory for my FEL bucket. Just to pick up rocks and dirt. Also double as a help in moving brush.....
Also running thoughts through my head about a quick and easy, one step shaker screen with about 1/2" screen.

Good luck with your build...

Rodsauder, what spacing are you using on your bars. I am thinking of building one myself and looking for ideas.

I have gone with a 6'' space between tines, I cut the 1'' x 2'' @ 30'' to maximize yeild on a 20' length (no waste). I will post another pic when I get the back and sides tacked into place.
