Check out mytractortools.com. Jery designed a specialty bucket for popping out rocks. It is called the buddy loader.
It can be at times, that is another reason for getting the slightly smaller bucket.Wouldn't it be rough on the machine having to shake the bucket?
Bradco makes a 55" rock bucket for compact tractors that only weighs 278 pounds and comes equipped with a quick attach hitch.
Thank you very much that is what I needed to know. Do you think it would work to pick up windrows of rocks made by my Harley rake and construction debrisI have a 60 in. rock bucket that worked well with my Bobcat SS.
My L3240 w/ 724 loader didn't have enough lift to use it effectively.
Being a SS bucket it's heavy and rather deep, which puts the load farther out. It has worked well on my friends 75 hp. New Holland. We were using it to load rocks that had been piled up at the edge of a field. Digging in a pile of rocks isn't easy, and the bucket being 5 ft instead of 6 ft was an advantage.
If you get one for your L3240, I would recommend one designed for a CUT that is not deeper than your normal bucket. Narrow would be better. I think you will run out of power even with a 60 incher.
Best, Bill
