I hope it works, and I also hope it's built heavy enough.

Looks great, just go easy. The mounting looks stout enough, but is there enough to keep it from bending laterally?

If a rock is really large, I should use the regular bucket to root it out at least. The loader is the Cat IT28 in the moving hay thread.

Interesting. The women and children hereabouts clean the fields. Why the serrated edge on the two outside pieces?

I don't know Oak. I asked the local machinist blacksmith about build a rock bucket, and he told me I could buy one cheaper. I bought this, and had the shop redo the mounting. What I'd like, and what I can afford are to often two different things.

Roots?

It looks as though it may work. Cornstalks like to come along.

For several years I bounced the plow over a rock that was about a foot below the surface. Finally I decided to get it out. After digging around it for a while, I called the neighbor kids to take a turn on the shovels. It turned out to be roughly four feet long, three feet high and about two feet thick. We strapped it up good and had to use a payloader to lift it out. I think it's still sitting on the corner of the lawn.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I built one almost 20 years ago, I modified a case tractor bucket. It worked well on a 580 Case backhoe. Farmer cleared lots of rocks with it.

I guess I'm lucky. NO rocks here at all. Don't even look for a small one to kill a snake. There aren't any.

Well Oak, if you have enough of the right size, a lot money. Of course, it's the idea of NOT, breaking machinery.
Methinks you know that.
