Compact Tractor Rock Bucket Attachment – Sifting Rocks and Debris with Ease

When you're running a compact tractor or mini skid steer, you need attachments that punch above their weight class. The Compact Rock Bucket (CRK) from Stinger Attachments delivers exactly that — a purpose-built sifting bucket designed specifically for smaller machines without sacrificing the strength or performance you'd expect from full-sized equipment. Whether you're clearing a rocky pasture, cleaning up construction debris, or prepping soil for landscaping projects, this compact rock bucket lets you separate unwanted rocks and materials while keeping the good stuff where it belongs.

Built with the same proven backbone design as Stinger's full-sized RK rock bucket, the CRK brings professional-grade durability to compact equipment operators. You get AR200 steel construction that's been engineered to reduce weight while maintaining the kind of strength that stands up to demanding jobsite conditions. That means you're not overloading your compact machine, but you're still getting a bucket that won't bend, crack, or fail when the work gets tough.

What makes this bucket stand out is how it's been optimized for the realities of operating smaller equipment. Compact tractors and mini skid steers have different weight capacities and hydraulic demands than their full-sized counterparts. The CRK recognizes that. It's lighter where it needs to be, but reinforced in all the right places to handle rocky soil, root-filled ground, and the kind of unforgiving terrain that would destroy a standard bucket.

The sifting design is where this attachment really earns its keep. Those strategically spaced bars let soil, sand, and fine materials fall through while retaining rocks, roots, debris, and larger materials. You're essentially doing two jobs at once — excavating and sorting — which cuts down on handling time and keeps your project moving forward. Instead of scooping, dumping, sorting by hand, and rescooping, you do it all in one pass.

Forge Claw is proud to offer the Stinger Compact Rock Bucket nationwide with free shipping to every state. We've worked with landscapers, ranch owners, hobby farmers, and property managers who've made this bucket a permanent part of their compact equipment lineup. It's the kind of attachment that quickly becomes indispensable once you realize how much time and effort it saves on rock removal, land clearing, and general site cleanup.

One of the best features? Optional bolt-on sides. If you're working with loose or flowing materials, those sides keep everything contained and prevent spillage as you maneuver across uneven ground. They're easy to install when you need them and just as easy to remove when you don't. That versatility means one bucket can handle a wider range of tasks without requiring multiple attachments or constant adjustments.

Stinger Attachments manufactures the CRK using American-made steel, and every unit is backed by a 2-year warranty. That's not just a formality — it's a reflection of the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bucket. When you invest in equipment, you want to know it'll hold up season after season, project after project. The CRK is built to do exactly that.

Available in seven widths ranging from 33 inches to 72 inches, there's a size that fits your machine and matches the scale of your work. Smaller widths are ideal for tight spaces, residential properties, or precision work around existing landscaping. Larger widths let you cover more ground quickly on open land, making them perfect for larger parcels, farm work, or commercial site prep.

For contractors and landowners who've been frustrated with flimsy buckets that can't handle rocks, roots, or heavy debris, the CRK is a solid upgrade. It transforms your compact machine into a true workhorse capable of tackling jobs that would otherwise require larger equipment or manual labor. You'll move faster, work smarter, and get better results with less strain on both you and your machine.

Time savings add up fast when you're working with the right attachment. Instead of making multiple passes to scoop, haul, dump, and then manually sort through piles of dirt and rocks, the CRK does the sorting for you on the fly. You spend less time handling the same material over and over, which means you finish jobs faster and move on to the next task. For contractors billing by the job, that efficiency directly translates to higher profitability and the ability to take on more work.

Durability isn't just about lasting a long time — it's about performing consistently without breakdowns or repairs that cost you money and downtime. The AR200 steel construction and reinforced backbone design mean this bucket can handle rocky soil, root-laden ground, and heavy debris without bending, cracking, or wearing out prematurely. You're not replacing bent tines or welding cracked seams every season. You're working with a bucket that holds up year after year.

Labor savings are significant when you consider how much manual work this bucket eliminates. Sorting rocks by hand is back-breaking, slow, and inefficient. With the CRK, that labor-intensive step disappears. One operator on a compact machine does the work of several people with hand tools, and does it faster with better results. For small operations or solo landowners, that means getting more done without hiring additional help.

Versatility makes this bucket a smart investment because it handles multiple tasks that would otherwise require separate attachments. Land clearing, site prep, pasture maintenance, driveway work, garden bed preparation, and debris removal all become easier with one tool. Instead of swapping attachments constantly or making do with equipment that's not quite right for the job, you have a go-to bucket that adapts to different situations.

Cost savings come from several angles. You're reducing labor costs, minimizing equipment wear from overloading, avoiding the expense of multiple attachments, and cutting down on project timelines. The CRK pays for itself through efficiency gains and the ability to take on jobs that would otherwise require renting larger equipment or outsourcing the work entirely. It's an investment that delivers returns every time you use it.

The Compact Rock Bucket (CRK) is ideal for property owners, hobby farmers, landscapers, and contractors working with compact tractors or mini skid steers. If you're managing a few acres or working on residential and light commercial projects, this bucket is sized and built for your equipment. It's particularly useful in rocky regions, areas with heavy root systems, or anywhere soil needs to be separated from unwanted materials before grading or planting.

Compatibility is straightforward — the CRK works with standard compact tractor loaders and mini skid steer quick-attach systems. Before ordering, confirm your machine's lift capacity and ensure the bucket width you choose matches both your equipment's capabilities and the scale of your typical projects. Forge Claw's team is available to help you select the right size if you're unsure.

Operating the CRK effectively means working at a consistent pace and letting the bucket do the work. Avoid overloading beyond your machine's capacity, and use a scooping motion that allows material to flow through the bars naturally. The optional bolt-on sides are worth adding if you're working with loose soil or need to transport materials over rough or sloped ground. They prevent spillage and make every scoop more productive.

Maintenance requirements are minimal but important for long-term performance. Inspect welds and structural points periodically, especially after heavy use. Clear debris from between the bars to prevent buildup, and check bolt-on sides (if installed) to ensure they remain secure. Store the bucket off the ground when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear and rust. With basic care, the CRK will deliver reliable performance for years.
