Has anyone ever used a rock bucket on a FEL, and how well did it work?
My property is about 20-30% rocks by volume. There is an occasional washing maching sized one, but for the most part they are bowling ball size down to baseball size. I would leave the really big ones alone, but there are plenty of small-medium ones.
If I could sift the rocks out, not only would it improve the soil, but I could use the rocks as a base for extending my driveway.
I have a JD 110 TLB which could easily pick up a third to a half a cubic yard of dirt at a time, and if the bucket worked as advertised it would seem to be a good idea.
Also, some of them can have a grapple attached to handle brush.
But, before I spend $1500-$2000 on a bucket, and even more on a grapple, I want to know if anyone has tried them and did they work?
