I have a 1965 John Deere 2010 gas with an all hydro Schwartz loader. It has the manure bucket that "nests" under the larger dirt bucket. I'm not sure of the model of the loader, but could find out.
Here are my questions:
I would like to buy a skeleton bucket or rock bucket for this tractor. I have a lot of rock on my hunting property, most of it about softball size to maybe twice that large. I have rented a skid steer with rock bucket in the past and it works great, but the rental is expensive.
1. Is this a super bad idea because it would over-strain the tractor? The tractor is in good mechanical condition, fulid filled rears, all gears work well, doesn't burn any oil, and has good power.
Obviously, power is limited compared to diesel, but I only need to "sift" the top 3-4 inches of soil after it has been disked. Most large rock has already been removed from the plots. Because of the nature of the rock bucket, you only do this work when it's dry so there is no pushing of heavy soil as if trying to load a dirt bucket.
2. What do I call the mounting setup on this tractor when talking to dealers about a bucket? Is this a standard Deere mounting setup? Or did Schwartz have their own?
3. Is there such a thing as a universal adaptor so that I could use a rock bucket designed for a skid steer with a universal mount? These seem far and away the most common type of rock bucket and easiest to get. Cost is also reasonable, I can get a good 8 footer for $800.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
