The Ideal Rockaway Skeleton Bucket is a heavy-duty skid steer rock bucket built to separate larger rocks, roots, sticks, and debris from dirt and topsoil. Pointed steel tines dig into the ground and scoop material while the open spaces between the tines allow loose soil and smaller material to fall through. Larger rocks and debris stay in the bucket so they can be carried away without taking as much usable soil with them.
Available in 74- and 84-inch widths, the Rockaway rock bucket gives full-size skid steers and compact track loaders a simple, durable attachment for digging, sorting, and clearing rough ground. The pointed, gusseted steel tines provide an aggressive leading edge for getting underneath rocks and roots, while the open bucket design makes it easy to sift material before carrying away what you don’t want.

What is a skeleton bucket?
A skeleton bucket is a type of rock bucket designed to separate larger rocks and debris from dirt and topsoil. Open spaces between the steel tines allow smaller material to fall through while larger rocks, roots, sticks, and debris remain in the bucket.
What sizes are available?
This Rockaway Skeleton Bucket is available in 74- and 84-inch widths for full-size skid steers and compact track loaders.
Should I choose the 74-inch or 84-inch rock bucket?
The 74-inch model is a versatile choice when you want to keep the attachment somewhat narrower and more maneuverable. The 84-inch model gives you more coverage and capacity for larger machines and open areas.
What can I remove with the rock bucket?
The open-tine design is useful for larger rocks, roots, sticks, branches, construction debris, and other unwanted material mixed into dirt or topsoil.
How large are the spaces between the tines?
The Rockaway Skeleton Bucket uses 3-inch gaps between the tines, allowing smaller rocks and loose material to pass through while retaining larger material.
How does the rock bucket separate rocks from dirt?
Scoop material with the bucket and use the movement of the skid steer to sift it. Loose dirt and smaller material fall through the spaces between the tines, leaving larger rocks and debris in the bucket.
Does the rock bucket require hydraulics?
No. The Skeleton Bucket has no hydraulic motor or powered moving parts. It works entirely through the normal movement of the skid steer or compact track loader.
Can I dig with this rock bucket?
Yes. The pointed steel tines are reinforced with gussets to give the bucket an aggressive leading edge for digging, scooping, and clearing ground.
Is a skeleton bucket the same thing as a rock bucket?
Yes. Skeleton bucket and rock bucket are commonly used interchangeably for this style of open-tine bucket. Ideal calls this product its Skeleton Bucket, but it performs the jobs typically associated with a skid steer rock bucket.
What’s the difference between a rock bucket and a regular skid steer bucket?
A standard bucket holds both the soil and debris you scoop. A rock bucket has an open-tine design that allows smaller material to fall through while retaining larger rocks and debris.
