Introducing the John Deere Rock Bucket for Compact Tractor 3 and 4 Series from Redline Systems Inc. This rock bucket is designed to be like the bigger skid loader rock buckets using a 2″ or 3″ tine spacing but scaled down to work on the John Deere series 3 and series 4 compact tractors. Now available in 3 widths , 72″, 66″ or 60″ with the choice of 2″ or 3″ tines. Our 54″ John Deere Rock Bucket works great for the series 1 and series 2 tractors, but we’ve had many customers asking for a larger version for the series 3 and 4 tractors.
Many of our customers have purchased this for use as a 3025E Rock Bucket, 3038E Rock Bucket, 3039R Rock Bucket or 4066R Rock Bucket and it is compatible with most of the 3 and 4 series tractors.
The bucket is constructed from 5/16″ A36 plate so it’s built to handle the abuse but not be so heavy that the tractor can’t pick it up and still utilize is maximum lift capacity. Two 2″ tubes run on the top and bottom of the bucket to help with torsional twist in the bucket and keep it flat. It has a solid back with clean out slots cut into the back to help let loose material fall through but keep in the larger rocks and debris in the bucket. Built to look as if it were a factory made bucket. Great for contractors, farmers, landscapers and the large acreage home owner.

This bucket is awesome I am so glad that I chose the 2” tines, not only for the rocks . but for trash debris that has been around the property since the 60’s thanks.

This bucket was a good choice, and was a lot stronger than I expected. I have a gravel pit and I use it to remove the larger rocks. I scoop into the bank and shake the bucket which makes a pile of 2″ minus. I then take the larger rocks in my bucket and put them in another pile for other uses. It also works great as a root rake and many other uses.

What a great bucket! It works wonderful for ripping up Honeysuckle bushes of any size. Also for removing stone from my wifes large garden. Thank you Redline and Matt for a great product.

I bought it to help a rail museum. Haven’t used it there yet but it worked well to get the rock and broken concrete out of dirt. The fit was prefect. Time between the order, reporting out of stock, and shipping was 2 days.

I purchased a rock bucket from Matt for my John Deere 1025 about a year ago, and I was amazed at the quality of the bucket in regards to the welds, design, and craftsmanship. In short, I was extremely pleased with Matt’s product. As a result, I have followed Matt’s site out of curiosity from time to time, and recently saw that he was now making rock buckets for the John Deere 2 and 3 series compact tractors. I recently purchased a Branson 2515 tractor so I was immediately interested in finding out if Matt would make me one to my specs to fit my Branson quick attach. He assured me he could . To make a long story short, I received my bucket today and it is a supreme piece of work. So if you are tired of Chinese junk, poor welds, and just plain poor quality attachments, give Matt a try. You will not be sorry. I have owned dozers, skid steers, tractors , and loaders, and many attachments that were used with them, but never have I had anything that I was more happy with than I am with Matt’s buckets and his excellent quality of work. (And not to mention his extreme ability to communicate and CO_OPERATE!) Thanks, Matt! I will be back! Chuck

Matt was great to work with and communicates extremely well.

I purchased the 72″ wide model with 2″ spacing for use on my JD 3520 compact tractor. In my area, I need to remove as many small rocks as possible with each pass. I have probably used it as much for digging up brush/roots as rock removal. I have been totally pleased with it’s performance, the fit and finish of the bucket itself, and the service once my order was placed.

Called and spoke with Matt to check stock. Matt went out and checked in the yard while I was on the phone. So happy to speak with someone I can understand and is knowledgeable about the products and equipment they’re used on. Just ordered the 72″ with 2″ spacing. Looking forward to getting it and separating the larger rocks. I’m in the Az desert, so no shortage of rocks. Don’t usually leave comments good or bad, but after reading the other comments, felt I’d chime in as well. I’ll repost after I’ve used the bucket.

I ordered this Rock Bucket on Sunday and it arrived today! Fantastic turn around time. The bucket is very well built and does the jobs I hoped it would. Have already scooped and moved a lot of rock today.
Good email communication throughout. Buy here you won’t be disappointed.

The 2” rock bucket worked very well. Sturdy build. Great communication with Matt and his team, both about the product, as well as coordinating shipping options. Thank you!
Clough Shelton (verified owner) –
Great product. Very well built and it seems strong despite its relatively light weight. Matt was great to work with.

I ordered this bucket to help my wife and I move a lot of rock piled up on our property as well as o help clear out some small brush.
I was very pleased when this bucket arrived. The construction is very good! What a heave duty and sturdy implement. Shipping was much faster than expected and it arrived within a week! I would recommend redline systems to anyone needing a high quality attachment.

This is a great product very well built and a great price and was delivered fast
Richard Jones (verified owner) –
Awesome Implement! Great design. If you’re looking for a lighter weight bucket than what you traditionally find, yet still able to handle the abuse it was sure to get. This is it. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the quick turn around Matt.

After an extensive online research for a rock bucket for a John Deere 4520, I decided on the Redline 72”, 2” . When I placed the order, Matt told me to expect about a 7 day delivery time. The bucket arrived in about 5 days.
The bucket fits perfectly on the John Deere quick attach front end loader. I’ve used it to dig out some big rocks, and am very impressed at how well the bucket performs. It’s also great for popping out shrubs and bushes, and sifts through rocky soil like a champ. It’s a great product, and I highly recommend it to others.

I have a JD 2038r and decided to buy the 60” 3” space rock bucket for 3 & 4 series tractors. This bucket is an absolute beast and could not be happier. The additional weight as opposed to the 2 series bucket is un noticed. The 2038r completely dominates with this bucket. This bucket exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I find myself using this bucket for everything in place of the factory bucket. I had to dig out a 60’x110’ area about 8” deep removing sod and topsoil. This rock bucket digs in like you wouldn’t believe!

Solid, well built bucket. Before purchasing I called Redline with questions regarding the purchase. Matt personally answered and was very helpful. I feel we need to support small , built in the USA businesses , so I ordered. Everything went smoothly and the bucket was delivered on time with no issues. Thanks Matt

This bucket is built tough, it’s a perfect fit on my 3039R,and the powder coating is awesome too. I got it quick and the customer service was great. Don’t waste your money spending more on a Deere, this bucket is better and less expensive. If you are looking for one, just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

If you are reading this review, you’ve probably read the others and can see a pattern; this is a very good company with very good products. I purchased a rock bucket for my JD 3032, and it’s one of my favorite attachments. I suspect whoever is still using it long after I’m gone might agree

I have a 2016 Deere 3038E tractor with the Hydros-Plus lift and curl cylinders on my D160 loader. I chose the 66″ by 2″ spacing RSI rock bucket to filter out the rocks dumped in my property by the subdivision developer. I chose the 66″ bucket so that the factory 61″ bucket would nest inside the 66″ bucket for when I take my tractor elsewhere. The 66″ bucket is a good match for this tractor. The RSI bucket was designed and constructed well. All the welds appear fully penetrated; and the powder coating is well done. I would buy from this manufacturer again in a heartbeat. It shipped fast to my employer’s loading dock. Everyone in the office was admiring it before I saw it, because I was out on the road that day.

Nice bucket. Well built. Needs to be really dry for the 2″ to work in our soils or will plug up, but worked great on rocks and roots when dry.
Steve Ehret (verified owner) –
A great piece of equipment! I couldn’t wait to use it, and I did. I dug out, and moved rocks that I probably shouldn’t have. I was sure I bent some forks, but they as straight as new.
John Murphy Jr. (verified owner) –
I bought the 60″ with 2″ spacing to clear rocks large and small from the sides of a mile long gravel road with a John Deere 3038E. I think the 3″ spacing would have been better for the job and tractor, but I have no complaints. It is well made and fit perfectly.
Richard Gresham (verified owner) –
Excellent quality, great price. Have been using this for almost a year and it’s certainly paid for itself. Picks up split firewood easier than solid bucket, used for grading driveways, pushing snow and it’s great for removing vines from trees and bushes.
Jimmy Vogel (verified owner) –
Received my 60″ rock bucket with 2″ spacing of the tines. Moved 10-12 ton of 12″-18′ rocks. The bucket is a beast! Excellent construction and craftsmanship! 60″ bucket seems a good fit for my 3039R. Thought the price was reasonable. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
Jay (verified owner) –
I got the 66″ version for my 3038E. Ordering process was super easy and it came quicker than I expected (which was great). I was using it to pull up cactus the afternoon it was delivered. I highly recommend Redline Systems!

The 3” tube bucket works great for my needs. I wish I would have had this years ago. Tough and durable and so handy for a multitude of uses. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

I purchased the 3 series John Deere 60” rock bucket with 2” spacing. It was delivered in 3 days from the day I placed the order to Texas, arrived before my local dealer had even delivered the tractor. I’ve waited to place a review until I could use the bucket extensively. The build quality is impressive. I’ve used it to remove rocks from my property, grub out small brush, trees and cactus. I’ve also used it as a rake to spread topsoil. All I can say is this bucket exceeds expectations and you cannot beat the customer service. Also it’s made in America and that’s hard to get these days.
