Loader-Bucket Rake Attachment

The Loader-Bucket Rake Attachment installs on any machine’s (e.g., tractor, skid steer) existing loader bucket to create a tool for raking then removing rocks or debris without picking up the dirt. Reportedly fitting almost any bucket from 30 to 95 inches, this all-steel attachment features 3-inch-spaced tines (to collect even small rocks but not dirt); a bracing bar (to spread both load and torque evenly across the bucket); a raised retaining ridge (to keep the load from falling out until the bucket is emptied); and a front cutting edge (to function as a sod cutter or material grader/smoother).

Cost: $565 to $1,865 depending on machine's horsepower and bucket size
