The Old Style Rock Bucket from Loflin Manufacturing is built to handle the toughest sorting jobs on construction sites, farms, and land development projects. Distributed nationwide by Forge Claw, this skid steer attachment is designed to sift through rocky terrain and separate usable material from debris — saving you time, labor, and hauling costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this rock bucket apart is its straightforward, proven design. Constructed from heavy-duty 3⁄8\" thick steel with 3-inch tine spacing, it allows dirt and loose material to fall through while retaining rocks, roots, stumps, and debris. The result is cleaner fill material, fewer dump runs, and better site preparation in less time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoflin Manufacturing has engineered this bucket with durability in mind. The 6-inch cutting edge is made from 3⁄4\" steel plate and features large teeth that dig into hard-packed soil and break up compacted material. Unlike buckets with wrapped cutting edges that wear unevenly, this design uses welded joints for consistent performance over the life of the attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperators who've used lightweight sorting buckets know the frustration of bent tines and cracked welds. This Old Style Rock Bucket is built to last. The 3⁄8\" plate steel construction can handle full loads of rock and debris without flexing or warping, even under constant use on commercial job sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're a contractor prepping a foundation, a landowner reclaiming overgrown acreage, or a ranch manager clearing pasture land, this bucket becomes one of your most-used attachments. It turns a loader into a sorting machine — letting you keep the good dirt onsite while removing unwanted stone and debris in a single pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3-inch tine spacing strikes a practical balance. It's wide enough to let dirt and fines fall through without clogging, but tight enough to catch medium to large rocks, roots, and branches. Whether you're working clay-heavy soil, sandy loam, or rocky topsoil, the bucket adapts to the material and keeps you moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Old Style Rock Bucket comes standard with Safety Treads welded onto the top surface. These provide secure footing when you need to step onto the bucket to enter or exit the cab — a small detail that makes a real difference in daily operation and jobsite safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw is proud to distribute Loflin Manufacturing attachments because they're built by people who understand what it takes to get work done. There's no unnecessary complexity here — just solid American steel, smart engineering, and a design that's been proven across thousands of jobsites nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a gimmick bucket. It's a workhorse attachment that earns its keep by improving efficiency and reducing the number of times you need to handle the same material. Sort rock from soil in one pass, load clean fill where it's needed, and haul away debris without wasting time on multiple steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRock buckets shine in applications where standard dirt buckets fall short. Grading a driveway through rocky soil becomes faster when you can separate stone as you go. Preparing a garden bed or planting area is easier when you're not hauling away good topsoil mixed with rocks. Clearing a fence line or drainage ditch gets done quicker when you can pull roots and rocks in a single scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoflin Manufacturing builds this bucket to handle commercial workloads, but it's just as valuable for property owners managing their own land. Whether you're running a skid steer five days a week or a few times a month, the Old Style Rock Bucket delivers the same rugged performance and consistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw offers free nationwide shipping on all heavy machinery attachments, including this rock bucket.

They help break up clumps, pull roots, and scrape surfaces clean. This design reduces the need for multiple passes and keeps your machine working efficiently through varied conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability isn't just about material thickness — it's about how the bucket is built. The welded cutting edge ensures consistent wear patterns and makes replacement straightforward when the time comes. The 3⁄8\" steel body resists impact damage and holds up under repeated loading and dumping cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've been using a dirt bucket to do a rock bucket's job, you know the limitations. Material spills over the sides, you can't see what you're hauling, and you end up moving dirt you didn't need to touch. The Old Style Rock Bucket solves these problems by design. It sorts as you scoop, keeps visibility high, and reduces wasted effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tine spacing also provides excellent visibility. You can see what's in the bucket and what's falling through, giving you better control over the sorting process. This makes it easier to work around utilities, irrigation lines, or other buried infrastructure without losing track of what you're handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a productivity standpoint, this attachment pays for itself quickly. Fewer dump runs mean less fuel, less wear on your machine, and more billable hours. Cleaner material means better backfill and grading results. Faster sorting means you move on to the next task sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw stands behind every attachment we distribute.

Instead of scooping everything into a standard bucket and hauling mixed loads to the dump, you sort as you work. Dirt falls back to the ground where it belongs, and rocks stay in the bucket for removal. This single change cuts your hauling trips in half on most jobs, saving fuel, time, and dumping fees. Contractors working on foundation prep or grading projects can finish sites faster and move on to the next job sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly to cost savings over the life of the attachment. The 3⁄8\" steel construction resists the bending and cracking that plague lighter buckets, especially when working rocky or root-filled ground. The welded cutting edge wears evenly and can be replaced without scrapping the entire bucket. This design means fewer repairs, less downtime, and a longer service life — all of which improve your return on investment and keep your equipment working instead of sitting in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProductivity improvements show up in ways that aren't always obvious at first. Cleaner fill material means better compaction and grading results, which reduces callbacks and rework. Faster sorting means you spend less time handling the same pile of material multiple times. Better visibility through the open tine design helps you work more precisely around utilities, irrigation, or existing structures. These small gains add up to measurable differences in how much work you complete in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rock bucket also extends the usefulness of your skid steer. Property owners who might have hired out land clearing or site prep can now handle those tasks themselves. Landscapers can offer grading and cleanup services without needing separate equipment. Farmers and ranch managers can reclaim overgrown pastures, clear fence lines, and prep planting areas without renting specialty machines. One attachment opens up new capabilities and revenue opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReduced labor costs are another significant benefit. Jobs that used to require a crew with rakes, wheelbarrows, and hand tools can now be done by a single operator with a skid steer and rock bucket. Sorting happens at machine speed rather than hand speed, and the operator stays in the cab instead of bending and lifting all day. This makes hard jobs easier on your body and your budget, while improving safety by reducing manual handling of heavy materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Old Style Rock Bucket is ideal for contractors, landscapers, farmers, landowners, and anyone working in rocky or debris-filled terrain. It's especially valuable in regions with glacial soil, limestone bedrock, or areas where roots and rocks are mixed throughout the topsoil. Municipal crews use rock buckets for park maintenance and drainage work. Tree service professionals use them to clean up after stump grinding. The versatility makes it a smart addition to any skid steer fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bucket is designed to fit standard skid steer quick attach mounting systems, ensuring compatibility with most modern skid steer loaders. Before ordering, verify your machine's lift capacity and hydraulic flow to ensure proper operation. While the bucket doesn't require hydraulic power, matching the weight and size to your loader's capabilities ensures safe, efficient performance. Forge Claw's team can help you confirm fitment and answer any compatibility questions before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating a rock bucket effectively comes down to technique. Work at a steady pace and let the bucket do the sorting — aggressive shaking or jerking isn't necessary and puts unnecessary stress on the machine. When loading, scoop low and slow to give fines time to fall through the tines. Dump frequently to prevent overloading, especially when working with dense rock or wet material. Keep the cutting edge sharp and replace it when teeth become rounded or the edge wears thin. These simple habits extend the bucket's life and keep it working efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintenance requirements are minimal but important. Inspect welds and tines regularly for cracks or damage, especially after working in rocky conditions. Grease pivot points if your bucket has moving parts, and check hardware for tightness. Store the bucket off the ground when not in use to prevent rust and soil buildup. Clean out packed material between the tines to maintain sorting efficiency. A few minutes of care after each job keeps the bucket ready for the next one and helps you catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured by Loflin Manufacturing, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.
