Read articles →This video follows owner Brock putting a new Artian rock bucket (skid steer quick-attach) to work moving rocks from a hillside to a pond island, using both the loader and a TYM 574 backhoe. It goes hands-on enough to cover sifting technique, wet-vs-dry soil differences, bucket-loading mistakes, and safe travel height, plus a dealer price mention ($34,500 with cab). Best for anyone evaluating rock buckets or curious about real working conditions.
An owner-operator channel that documents daily equipment use on their own property, though Artian attachments are disclosed as sponsor-provided and the featured tractor is supplied by a dealership partner, so expect some favorable framing of both.
Filling the bucket too full with dirt and rock does not work. You need a light layer so dirt can sift through, especially when the ground is wet.
Wet soil does not sift well. Dry soil or soil that is mostly rock might work better, and letting a dug-up pile bake in the sun first can help.
No. Best practice is to never drive with your load all the way up in the air; keep the load as low as possible, especially while turning.
After sifting rocks and dirt and some rough handling, there were no signs of wear on the rock bucket, showing it is a well-made product.
