Artillian Tractor, a division of Curtis Industries, released its new Direct Attach Rock Bucket, with fitment for John Deere Quick Attach and Skid Steer Quick Attach (per SAE J2513) loaders.
The Artillian Direct Attach Rock Bucket clears rocks and debris while leaving soil behind. With 2-inch tine spacing, most soil and small objects pass through. Tines and side plates have serrated edges for ripping through roots and compacted soil. Built from AR400 steel plate and structural steel tubing, this solution can be used in dry, loose soil conditions.
“Most rock buckets on the market are large and over 400 pounds We felt that there was a gap in the market for subcompact tractors. Therefore, we sought to design a strong and lightweight rock bucket that was more suitable for smaller tractors," said Steve Smith, manager of design engineering at Artillian. "The end result was a rock bucket that is strong enough for a compact tractor up to 40 hp, but light enough to be used on a subcompact tractor 25 hp and below.”
Engineered with a high strength-to-weight ratio, the 54-inch Artillian Rock Bucket is designed for compact and subcompact tractors. At 190 to 200 pounds, it comes in at just over the weight of a sub-compact OEM material bucket. This bucket features no added weight to reduce lift capacity.
