Rock bucket

[scootr]

I'm back to searching for the perfect rock bucket for my use. My use > I use a slanted landscape rake to windrow rocks until I have a pretty good row of 2-4 inch rock ( mostly).
Then I want to use a rock bucket to scoop up the rock, shake them separate from the dirt and ditch em someplace. Usually in a rut where the water's been running off.
A long story shortened. I bought a Titan Toothed rock bucket that was not right for my use. Then I modded it and modded it some more and finally it was still just not right - so I sold it to somebody who had a different use in mind.
I believe I need a smooth edge skeleton bucket about 72" wide.
Does anybody have a favorite manufacture that makes a bucket that fits my needs?

Sounds like the old carpentry joke: When I first cut it, it was too short. Then I cut it again and it was still too short.

Does anybody have a favorite manufacture that makes a bucket that fits my needs?

This one with the round tines from Bradco is my recommendation:

That looks like it is working good in that soil.

 

[spitter]

Depends on your budget. If it was me and I had 10k laying around doing nothing I'd buy a Rockhound and call it a day. I need one too and I'm trying to justify buying the Bradco which is 3 times the price of the Titian and 2 times the weight. Also, I only have a TC 45d to mount it on no SS.

Flip Screen looks pretty cool, but they are 20K. If only the rocks, you were picking up were made of gold it would be a no brainer.

You have the implement to windrow the rocks. Clear the land and windrow to a designated location. You can now continue to develop the property. You can remove the windrows later when you have the required implement.

This is what I ended up doing on two plots - one acre each. I ended up removing the windrows by manually loading into my tractor bucket. Life is not always a peach.

 

[JohnnyMX]

I also use the rake to windrow. I had some success with a drop in for my grapple to screen rocks that are larger. I ended up building a grizzly and then ended up working pretty well. Used old lumber, a couple bed frames and some old fencing and now get just dirt in one pile and rock in the other. Have to run it through 2-3 times to get it that clean due to my clay and weeds.

Also, Ends to cap your rake may help actually keep the windrows functioning. Mine work, but start leaving pile after there are so many rocks built up which makes me need to do it all over again.

Good picture. That is my recommendation too. I am now on my third rock bucket, and the bradco round time is far and away the best. Rock buckets look very similar. If you don't have a lot of rock work to use, the flat bar beats a regular bucket. But the round time is noticibly better. It is also slightly longer tines, holds rocks better, and the spacing is better.
Houle makes one very similar.
I'll include a flat time just to compare.
Normally I see flat time types for about $1000. The round time type can cost twice that.

I never have used a flip screen. Love to try one sometime.

I pulled the trigger on a Spartan rock bucket with smooth front edge. My application is grooming flat hard ground or picking up piles of small stones after raking a paddock area. No digging out rocks. So the smooth edge will suit my use and offer the ability to back drag and smooth the area after the debris are picked up.
Now the waiting...

 

[rScotty]

The best bucket for doing paddocks, stalls, and corrals has yet to be invented.
There is a lot of opportunity there.
With third function now available on so many FELs, I've wondered about something like a combo rock bucket and rotating brush. It would be a stiff brush that comes down just in front of the edge and maybe makes a single rotation....enough to push the trash onto the tines.

When I run into a rock that I can't push into the bucket I get
out my straps with the ratchet I'm too old to grunt and strain
on a rock!

The new bucket arrived. It's just 66" so I can use it on both the tractor (72") and the bobcat (60")
It is well made. Last you a lifetime. 2" spacing instead of the more common 3". Tines welded to the big smooth cutting edge out front. No chance of bending tines. This Spartan stuff is built right.
I can't wait to work it.

 

[Vigo327]

Make sure and update with your impressions after use!

 

[nch77]

I have a Spartan brush cutter, its a well built machine. The only better brand I've used is Construction Attachments Inc.

If you don't mind, I would like some feedback on your Spartan rock bucket. Do you like it as well as you thought you would? Has it held up well? I am considering the same one.

I run a 66 inch bradco, identical to xfaxman's in his picture.

Use the snot out of mine for rocks, sticks, limbs and trees. I use it like a salad fork to pick up and move trees.

Some of the rounds tines bend a little on the end, unlike the type with a toothed cut'n edge design. I favor the rounds tine design for raking, back raking and building piles of materials.

I don't have one, that was my recommendation.

The Spartan rock bucket is well built. I have gotten a lot of use out of it and it has not shown any damage. There are limits and cons with all of the rock buckets. I have owned 2. Spacing is important. Too small and dirt tends to stay in the bucket with the rocks, especially true if there is moisture in the dirt. Too wide and big rocks fall through. I do prefer the rock bucket for some jobs but I've come to the conclusion that there is no perfect solution to rock picking. All that aside the Spartan bucket is well made and the spacing is good for most uses. I've used it on my tractor and the SS. Built to last a lifetime.
