I run a 120 acre farm as a hunting property. We have about 12-15 acres of various food plots and all our fields have rocks. Not huge boulders, just stuff from baseball to basketball size.
I picked all the fields with a rented skid steer and rock bucket when I first bought the property. Effective, but expensive to rent this every year.
Basically, I need a faster way of dealing with the rock that the disc turns up every year. I just want to "skim" the surface and pick up the stuff that's laying on top.
My question is this. I have a 1965 Deere 2010 gas with a Schwartz loader. I don't want to hear any crap about the 2010, it is what it is and mine runs great and everything on her works.
Would it work to buy a small (like 5-6 foot) rock bucket for this tractor? I'm not looking to set any speed records, but keep in mind I only need to skim 5-7 acres a year to pick up the stuff on top right before I plant.
I'm concerned about HP, but then again I can drag an 8 foot 3 point disc (1100 pounds) set at a pretty aggressive V without issues, so why not a 5-6 foot rock bucket?
Is this workable on the 2010 and how well would it work?
