Rock rack/bucket size for ck30

mauistardog · Oct 25, 2006

I got a ck30 with a 60" loader bucket on it now. Got a toothbar for Markham on the way for that. they sell rock buckets for the ck30, anyone buy one yet and if so what size. I got a quote for 850 plus 300 shipping, or there about for the 60". I talked to my dealer who does not carry them. He recommends I go down in size because of the stress the rock bucket would have on the loader. so I was thinking going down to a 48" one.

any thoughts or ideas? anyone got one?

thanks
joe

What did you get charged for the toothbar plus shipping , by the way where are you located and was this the best price you found. When you ordered the toothbar what measurement did you give them. Thanks ck30 hst fel and bh as you can tell am in the market

I would go with the smallest that will do the job.
The smaller and lighter it is the more material you can lift.

Hi, Dirtcutter, 231 for the bar and 148 to ship. I am in Hawaii... i found cheaper bars, but they wanted more to ship it to me. so I went with markham. total was cheaper and everyone seemed happy with them. I got 60" on the money where they wanted the measurement. they will make it a little small. about half an inch they said.

BTI, thanks for the response. I think 48" rockbucket will work

aloha

Try these guys,… Virnig Manufacturing …, look in their compact tractor menu, they have a 48" rock bucket that you can add a grapple to if you wish.

thanks redrocker, I will email them today. Markham does not make 48" much less anything rockbucket for the kioti. only loaders with the quickconnect...which i don't have.

ps..got my toothbar today..can't wait to put it on.
