Picket up a rock bucket yesterday

Had to drive 7 hours round trip to get it but the price was good.

Now I just need to get my tractor back to try it out.

What width is it?

How much was it?

How much was it? Gave $850 for it.

Basically 1/2 price and nothing is wrong with it. 2 bars are sightly bent but nothing to worry about.

I just hope that at 670 lbs it is not too much for the 3240.

Seems like a fair price to me.:thumbsup:

Using a rock bucket seems to require a lot of shaking to get the fines out, I suspect this will be more of an issue with the loader than anything else. I recommend you don't scoop up too many rocks at one time as this makes the fines more difficult to sift out. I have a similar sized rock bucket and it does a good job with the big rocks.

I've got one also. I've used mine for brush removeal, leveling, as forks and yes rock removal. Picked mine up at an estate auction for $600. Great piece of equipment.
