Awesome project idea for any FEL guy

Have a look guys. Probably the most economical way to screen out rocks and own a grapple at the same time.

What a novel idea... a grapple with a grate

Now why didn't I think of that!

Looks like it has some kind of Hyd mixer arm in the screen part to move the material.

The skeleton bucket comes standard with most loaders and excavators in Holland, and will do what this one does.

For advanced separation, there are vibratory skeletons Rotar International B.V. or drum screeners. Rotar International B.V.

I do not think I would use one often but it would come in handy on occasions, this spring I was digging a water line, and trenched across a old cistern that had been filled with rock, it took more time separating rock from the dirt to back fill with,

Is that a camera on your bucket? If so where did you mount the monitor and how does it work? I have often thought about this on my tractor as I can not see the bucket when digging...

Great idea on the screener .... simple, effective and straight forward

I'm not a fan of a vibrating bucket unless it includes some sort of isolation from the rest of the tractor.

Yep, works nice on fine, dry soil. Probably wouldn't work so good on normal soil.

Be careful mounting a camera if the camera has a hard drive. I mounted my Canon HG20 on the ROPS last summer and since then I've had some trouble with the hard drive. If I had thought of it I would have installed an SD card (an option on the HG20) to work with the tractor. Pretty hefty vibration at the top of the ROPS and that, I'm assuming, caused the problem.
