I know those upstate New York rocks! I grew up in Elmira and my parents had a backyard garden. Every spring, my Dad would rototill the garden, then we spent the next three days picking out rocks. You would think that after a few years of that, there wouldn't be any rocks left. You would be wrong.
Awesome Jesse , hey Andrew got one it’s a roll bucket and you get the smaller rocks. Anyway man you parents are rocking on there home. Take care stay safe and God bless.
You were not kidding when you said the dirt had a lot of rocks in it! Looks like the rock bucket is going to do the trick. There is a learning curve to everything new. I know you will figure it out. All those rock will come in handy for drainage projects too. Great video!
Those rock buckets can be really be hard on a skid steer because of the bouncing. I'd suggest welding up some sort of a coil spring mount so it has less of a chance at cracking arms and wallowing out bushings or anything that a pin goes through.
You could chuck a bit of 2inch or 1inch mesh in the bucket, so you could do two passes when clearing out stones and rocks. so pass without the mesh, then a second pass to get rid of the mower killer stones.
Great video 👍 Jessie we all learned about soil and rock filtering,dump a pile spread it out run over it then use rock sieve to filter rock out,now you can do to rockery walls now.😊
It is good to see someone with really good aptitude that knows or works out how to use these implement s not like the Homesteaders that usually get given sponsored Equipment and have no idea how to use them. They are very slow learners and take way more time to complete, false economy in my book. Jessie you impress me with your ability to turn your hand to any trade or task and get in and get things done.
A buddy of mine had a landscape business and he had a thing called a Rockhound for his skid steer. That thing could turn the crappiest dirt/rock pile into some nice soil in nothing flat. I'm sure they are more expensive than your rock bucket but it eliminates a lot of manual/tedious labor. So if you do a lot of that type of dirt work it might be a good investment for you.
I just did a rock bucket build on my little channel for my compact tractor. I made mine out of all 1/4" steel which I think is plenty strong for a compact tractor. I plan to add a grapple to it over the winter trying to make it more of an all around bucket like you were looking for. I really enjoy your channel! Keep up the great work!
After you do the first screening with the rock bucket. See if you can rent a rock hound once you have all the soil in place and that should remove all the smaller rocks left behind.
Works really well. Wasn't sure what to expect. Looks like your dad is ahead of you. Not only does he have the second story framed in but he's got a roof on his new house.
Jesse, I'm glad to see the Gehl skid steer is working well for you. These new attachments will do you well in the future I'm sure. Take care and thank you again for sharing another adventure with us. Love of love to you and the fam. Stay say safe my friend and have a great weekend.
Bloody great video mate So good Everything you do, say and create is beneficial ! After about a week, I actually miss this channel, so much Love you man 🦘🍻♥️👍🤗🙂😂
To further filter out the smaller rocks, you can buy some expanded metal and cut it to fit inside the rock bucket and find a way to temporarily attach it. Then you'll get rid of even the smaller rocks. Expanded metal comes in different opening sizes, so you can control the size of the rocks you're removing. Great video. I'm in the market for a grapple rock bucket - I had not even thought of the annoyance of the grapples banging around as you shook out the dirt.
First time comment here .. The first bucket was to me a great brush rake and can be used after logging or around new development. The grapple helps to pick it up and excellent for piling to burn the slash later.. The second bucket is a great rock sifter and the rocks can be used to stabilize creeks where washing out.. Also can be used in bridge abutments to hold the bridge.. I find this interesting as fill dirt around houses with rocks are not good for anything.. Both are very useful and very efficient..I am sure Andrew would like them both. Fun channel here from an old forester from the west coast and with years in logging background.. This is a very good test and both can be used greatly these days..be well.
Hello Jesse, I can't believe how quiet that track loader is; you got it running better than new. When you drove right in front of the camera, it was so quiet. Yeah, the flat rocks don't help much in filtering the dirt either. You should put 2" of top soil down; it would help the grass get a good root system going. Yep, with any new piece of equipment, you have to learn what you can and can't do with it. In time, you will master both of the equipment. If you watch Tractor Time With Tim on TH-cam, he has a way he uses his grapple. He opens it all the way up and tilts it down over the pile of brush, and then grabs it.
LIKE SOME OTHER COMMENT SAY ANDREW HAS A TOPSOIL MACHINE. YOU CAN ALSO WELD SOME REBAR IN THE LENGTH OFF THAT 2ND BUCKET TO CATCH MORE LITTLE STONES. CHEERS👍
Awesome video Jesse! I enjoy all of your videos and appreciate your detailed explanations. You have an amazing set of skills in such a variety of areas. Watching the family compound come together is awesome!
to get a finer material you might want to cut a piece of wire mesh to fit inside and just secure it with rebar wire for easy add-on and off, when you going to start framing your house, enjoy your videos, thumbs up
Love Loflin attachments. Bought a root grapple same style as yours from WM Biers in Port of Albany about 15 years ago. Have it on the skid steer 90% of the time. Beat the crap out of it and it’s held up great. Also got a brush Loflin brush cutter about 3 years ago. Also a great attachment.
I think you made two good choices. Less rocks in the bucket seems to work the best. My Dad picked potatoes in Caribou Maine, growing up. 5 cents for potatoes, 2 1/2 cents for rocks. 1930's
Amazing tool...that rock bucket. You could give cheaper bids on similar top soil projects with this tool? A man must be creative and be far sighted in this economy to get ahead or survive. Thanks for the lessons!
Jessie, Couldnt you go through to get all of hte large rocks out and then the ones that fall through, fit a mesh grid on the tines and go through again for the smaller rocks ? I know it would be doing it twice, but You need the larger gaps to help with hte first loads to get the soil through.
Jesse, I believe Andrew has something like the one Root Grapple that you have, and he is using it most of the time., but what you are going to be using it for, I can see where the straighter edge would be better, instead of the teeth curved at the end of the bucket. The Rock bucket is sweet, and your right, a bit of work, but so much better than trying to do it by hand and then not getting as much as you have with this bucket. Think you will be able to use both of them, and that the money, was not ill spent. Love the music. Great video, and look forward to more, thank you for sharing. Appreciated.
With a vibrating device on it, it would be perfect! Nice job, great explanations like everytime! I wonder if you could fabricate a kind of insert to narrow out the spaces between the ribs, so that even smaller stones would get caught...Like just a mesh of rebar clamped in there... 🤔 Thx for showing, looking out for the mentioned jobs! 👍👍👍
Jack of all trades. Master of none comes to mind Jesse when you’re talking about the multi use attachment. Sometimes the purpose built attachment is worth the extra cost.
Jesse I have a idea for you . Get a 4x8 sheet of woven metal safety screen an bolt it to the bottom or top of the rock buckets . Let's the dirt thru but hold all the peebles size rocks.
My property in No. AL (Guntersville) is a literal rock farm. Bought a Bradco Palladium 2-inch rock bucket a year ago and really like it but I made the mistake of adding the grapple which is really not a problem for my Kubota KSR-95 but way too heavy for my 66hp tractor. I think I'll be adding a brush grapple to the arsenal soon. Appreciate the vid.
could you mount a motor(electric or hydraulic) to the frame of the rock frame, to vibrate it continuously or on demand to constantly shake out the dirt and allow you to gather more rocks before emptying is necessary? attaching an off center rotating mass to the shaft to make it vibrate and also make it variable speed to suite the density of soil.
Hey Jesse, love you vids, an wish I were 40 years younger and in your place, with the knowledge I have now! We recycle all our yard waste to composting. In a couple years it becomes black dirt. Sometimes needs amendments to provide appropriate ph for your area, but a whole lot cheaper than buying top soil. Have you considered a hammer mill and soil screening for reducing the clay clump sizes and removing the rocks from you local top soil? I truly admire your ambition, and most importantly the desire to build your homestead, yourself! Trying to get my son to watch your vids for inspiration and advice! You will provide your family a true homestead to pass to the future Jesse's!!
I think you made two good choices. keep up the good work. you can use them down the road on different jobs sites. great choice. keep up the great videos.
Jesse here is an idea. weld a hydraulic motor that operates off your secondary unit, weld it to the top with a offset weight to vibrate the dirt as you scoop rocks.
Thanks Jesse , I have wanting one of these buckets for a while , as you mentioned , each bucket has a specific purpose . So with that said , I think I need both as well .
What you need is a vibrating screen were you put the dirt in and as it shakes it lets the rocks go out the end while letting the dirt go threw the screen, hope that makes sense to ya or maybe you could modify it by putting some find of screen on the bucket were it lets out the dirt but keeps all the little rocks in that are falling threw
I agree .years ago I bought a root grapple and after a little use i concluded it would be better if it was flat on the bottom. Nobody made them like that back then but now they do
I think now you have them you will surprise yourself how much you find a use for them.The grapple you will find is awesome to load logs on your mill as well. I think they are awesome to use
I see one more advantage of the two buckets.. you can sort the large out of the small rock so the large rock goes into the bottom of a road and the smaller rock makes for a finished rock drive way that can be driven on in wet weather an not gum up on the tires of the pickup or car going in and out.... thus leaving top soil in a pile, rock for fill and then surface rock for the driveways... no buying 3/4 minus when you sort your own.... nice buy... if you could only figure a way for a quick attach an not have to use the locks manually
7/9/22. Grapple/root attchmt & rock 'bucket' attchmt video 2day: all good...especially when yur little red head ca.e out & helped you pick up few rocks & toss into standard bucket just as he saw you do...youngster was helping dad!! Jesse this kind of video is pure gold! Bet your parents/grandparents all just love to see this! Great stuff young man! Admire your conservative financial approach when analyzing these tools for your geological conditions. You tried one..realized you needed both & evaluated costs/time/next-job-readiness & you acted! You bought both. Great you had the $$ to prepare for both client jobs + your own property clearing. Always enjoy your videos. 👍👍👍🇺🇲⚙🛠🚜👏😊🍺
What could possibly work best for you, Jesse, is the drum cage sift....that will do the trick. You back tracking to much over the same area to clean it... Andrew has one like that
You can never have too many attachments.My property is all rocks.I think that rock bucket is a good investment.Finish off with a good comb of a landscape rake with the tractor,you're done.
Something that would be extremely useful for your area and farm and also make for a great couple videos is building a rock sifter. From watching your videos, I know I don't need to tell you how to build a rock sifter. But I will add my two cents for your comment section. Predator engine from harbor freight spinning a heavy fly wheel pushing a rod like a locomotive wheel shaking a piece of cat walk flooring.

Nice accessory ,Jesse. I would suggest not getting to aggressive/greedy on your first pass thru dump. With the abundance of your rock in your fill it will definitely require patience. You will figure each rock bucket for each task. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.👍
That Rock bucket works alot better than I was expecting, you need one of them little jaw crushers like I have to turn them rocks into driveway material
Maybe shake bucket, then move side ways a few times and shake again. Will redistribute the dirt and second shake with empty more dirt. Wouldn't a giant steel screed work faster/better? just look at all the vegetation on your property that does just fine with the rocks. :) Of course the rain will pop up rocks every time it rains for awhile.

Yeah, the frost pushes them up.
Seems look a cool attachment, that Flipscreen attachment that Andrew has would get you even more fine grain rock pickup.
That's wat I was going to say lol
For top soil it's a great attachment
Flipscreen all day, and mutch faster than a rock bucket
I must have missed that particular podcast. Do you know when it was put out?

Spread dirt across evenly when dumping. Less dirt to shift, catches more rocks easier

Love the explanation you’re doing. Helps a lot.
You did a great job showing us the rock bucket thank you 👍
I highly recommend Jenkins Iron & Steel rock & root grapple
That rock bucket works great, it'll pay for itself in no time. Good Luck Jesse
I wonder if you can attach a vibrating mechanism to shake the soil through easily.. just a thought. Love your work Jesse
to get a finer material you might want to cut a piece of wire mesh to fit inside and just secure it with rebar wire for easy add-on and off, when you going to start framing your house, enjoy your videos, thumbs up
You should add some sort of a shaker or vibrator to the side or back of that bucket, would be difficult but that would help with the dirt!

That rock bucket will be a tremendous time and back saver.
Your friend Andrew was using once these screening buckets may bee a better solution for u love the way u share your experiences with us
This may have already been stated earlier, but I would sift the dirt before bringing it to your house.
Thank you for the video, Jessie!
I think you made two good choices. Less rocks in the bucket seems to work the best.
My Dad picked potatoes in Caribou Maine, growing up. 5 cents for potatoes, 2 1/2 cents for rocks. 1930's
I have a rock bucket but find the Harley rake does the best job of sifting them out
I miss your work on your new house. Hope you are getting at it soon.😊

I was thinking about doing that. There is a big flat spot on the bucket that would probably accept a screen

those are some nice buckets, rock bucket works well.
Yea I could have used them alot in previous jobs. I cant wait to get back to work abd get these things paid off by using them
I live in NEPA and we have the same problem. The less rock you can pick by hand the better, looks like a good investment to me.

Jessie you should check with Andrew he had a loam screening device for his skid steer it didn't do a large volume but cleaned up the loan really nice
Ha!! i know Jesse's secret. He has the best help a dad could ever have!!
Best of luck with your new equipment and your house build
could you mount a motor(electric or hydraulic) to the frame of the rock frame, to vibrate it continuously or on demand to constantly shake out the dirt and allow you to gather more rocks before emptying is necessary? attaching an off center rotating mass to the shaft to make it vibrate and also make it variable speed to suite the density of soil.

You could always borrow Andrew's Spin Sifter attachment.
Jesse here is an idea. weld a hydraulic motor that operates off your secondary unit, weld it to the top with a offset weight to vibrate the dirt as you scoop rocks.
if you build you a basket to put in and take out that bucket it will sift out dirt and hold the larger rocks,,, just a thought.
👏👍 keep rocking Jess..
After you get the bigger rocks you could make a smaller grid that would fit the picker and get the rest

Something that would be extremely useful for your area and farm and also make for a great couple videos is building a rock sifter. From watching your videos, I know I don't need to tell you how to build a rock sifter. But I will add my two cents for your comment section. Predator engine from harbor freight spinning a heavy fly wheel pushing a rod like a locomotive wheel shaking a piece of cat walk flooring. The rocks spill off the end and the dirt sifts beneath. better to have a conveyer for both but a skid steer would work just as well. This would make for some great creative content and be extremely useful and probably easily paid for by the ad revenue. From Texas, love your videos man.
hay thanks for the video and have fun with your new toy
I'd make a grizzly to work along with it . All the best from Shropshire.
Hello. I follow a couple from Shropshire on YT. Small world!
@@ywc378 It sure is lovely x
That thing is pretty cool. It's like a giant cat litter scoop...
Well worth the investment
Nice accessory ,Jesse. I would suggest not getting to aggressive/greedy on your first pass thru dump. With the abundance of your rock in your fill it will definitely require patience. You will figure each rock bucket for each task. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.👍
Love my grapple, same type- use it a lot.
That Rock bucket works alot better than I was expecting, you need one of them little jaw crushers like I have to turn them rocks into driveway material
What about maybe using AC's rock tumbler as well.Then you have top soil too.
A landscape rake would be the perfect finishing tool after the rock bucket
great camera work, appreciate the content and looking forward to going out on jobs. thanks
Modify the rock rake to accept finer wire mesh for sifting thru the rock. Of course it should be removable
The rock looks to be getting about 80-90% of the rocks. not bad at all.
The rocks may be just below the surface, but after a winter or two they will poke out of the soil. Happens here in rocky Maine.
Jesse looks like a lot of work but you have to deal with what is there not wishing for something else. Good luck !🦾👍
Maybe shake bucket, then move side ways a few times and shake again. Will redistribute the dirt and second shake with empty more dirt. Wouldn't a giant steel screed work faster/better? just look at all the vegetation on your property that does just fine with the rocks. :) Of course the rain will pop up rocks every time it rains for awhile.
