He said it works great on a skid steer because you can see better, not sure on a tractor.
This is true for sure. I also borrowed one to see if it worked. It worked marginally on a skid steer with a jazillion times better visibility and a half jazillion times faster hydraulics over a tractor to separate the scooped rock from the un avoidable dirt and organic matter (grass, alfalfa, etc.)
Your soils and the dampness will make a difference. Dry is good, sandy glacial till is good. I was dealing with just cleared land so roots, sticks and any weeds, grass all got in the way of "screening" the rocks out of the inevitable soil that you scoop up and fairly violent (fast) shaking of the bucket was required, at least for my conditions. In a nice - only so many rock situation on a short alfalfa field I'd bet it might just work better than tossing them in the tractor bucket. Borrow that rascal and find out:thumbsup:
