Great tool for working my pasture. The customer service and shipping options were great. Will definitely look to Redline for any future needs
Eric S Brosted (verified owner) –
Added this rock bucket with 2” spacing to my compact tractor and am very impressed with the quality and functionality. I find myself using it for many tasks other than simply pulling rocks out of my food plots. This is definitely something that I wish I would have had years ago, and am very glad I purchased it.
James (verified owner) –

Great, heavy duty bucket. Fast shipping and great communication.
Jim c (verified owner) –
I purchased the 4in spacing bucket. It’s well made Shipping was fast and easy pickup at my local FedEx freight depot. I bought this bucket because I recently cleared about an acre for a pasture and needed to clear away the roots,rocks and leftover material after cutting and grinding stumps. Worked awesome for my needs and I’ll have plenty more use for it for firewood and other land reclaiming I need to do. I do wish I had bought the 3in spacing instead but the 4in still fits my uses.
Bryan Driscol (verified owner) –
We had 22 loads of chert brought in to fill in a steep slope. It is full of rocks and very sandy clay. My rock bucket digs down and lifts the rocks out to save countless hours of manual labor. I tried to purchase from a local manufacturer twice. They tried to steal me towards a root bucket. That would not do the same job.
Richard Neumann (verified owner) –
I have a lot of river rock to deal with at client properties. I bought the 2″ spacing bucket (because no one seems to make one smaller). Fast shipping to my commercial dock. Powdercoating is done very nicely, even coat and seems durable with the 20+ hours on the bucket so far. Opening in the back is great for letting it sift better. I had a few questions for Matt and he is very responsive and put all my concerns to rest. One thing to note for my tractor (1025r), I have better results sifting dirt when the loader is high and the bucket fully curled back, this will result in smaller rock/dirt hitting your tractor. I will take that over the backbreaking work of hand pulling the stones out though.

This bucket is awesome works well loading wood cleaning Debris sticks rocks save a lot back work Matt was very helpful I chose 66 inch for my John Deere model 4005 I bought one from another company Too heavy had to sell I highly recommend this bucket came on time well constructed nice powder coat job and made In the USA

I was very impressed by the quality of this bucket! Great workmanship and a quality product. Fits perfectly. It can be used for so many things and bacomes very handy on 5 acres. Matt responded very quickly and took care of any concerns I had. Thanks Matt
I would recomend this bucket 100%
Ryan Walker (verified owner) –
Beautifully made and strong. Arrived quickly in perfect shape. Using it with box blade on my 1025r to create a new lawn. Very happy with the performance.
Lori (verified owner) –
Quick responses to questions. Fast delivery. Definitely worth the price based on the quality and performance. I would definitely consider more attachments from Redline.
Richard Ellis (verified owner) –
Exactly what I was looking for. I use it all the time for different applications, rock picking to clearing the plants from the garden at the end of the season, removes the plants and leaves the dirt. Love this bucket
Erick (verified owner) –
Purchased this for my John Deere 2032r. Very fast shipping & great communication. Wish I bought one a year ago, I got the 2″ gap bucket and have been using it to scoop rocks.
Lined up perfectly with the front loader quick attach. Very quick to install/remove and lighter than some of the others I looked at.
I tend to be a bit rough with my equipment and this has held up very well since I received it a little over a month ago. You can tell it was engineered to hold up to a fair amount of heavy use.
If you’re on the fence, get it. You won’t be disappointed
Rob (verified owner) –
This bucket is very well-built and at an extremely fair price. If you have a use for it, you won’t regret buying it.
The rest of this review is mostly for potential buyers looking to use it for gravel removal out of dirt.
I have a 2″ spacing bucket. I really wish it came in 1″, because in my application, I have a ton of 1.x” gravel in the dirt.
Beware the horsepower limits of your tractor. I used the beefy tiller on my JD before trying to scoop out rocks, but my 2025R still bogs down a lot when I try to scoop the dirt with this (or any) bucket. You can skim the top 2″ without too much hassle though.
Also, THIS THING WORKS WONDERS for removing sage brush. To the manufacturer: You should add this to the product description. It saves SO MUCH time and backache. You just float the bucket about 3″ above grade, and drive at a moderate speed. It rips them right out.
Pete (verified owner) –
Top quality product. Easily attaches to the loader arms of my 1025R. Customer service was great when arranging delivery. Rock bucket (2″) works very well. If working in dry loose soil, I would suggest facing downwind when lifting a load!
Ian (verified owner) –
this was the first implement i got for my 2032R and I love it. got it shipped fast too! it works great for its intended purpose, but i think i actually like it more for back dragging all the vines and bramble in the woods behind my house where i am clearing it all out. all those teeth grab and rip awesome! highly recommended!
Ernest Schober (verified owner) –
I purchased the 3 in spacing for rocks. Heavy duty bucket, I’ve loaded some really large rocks without any problems, Fast delivery

Awesome products built in the U.S.A. Shipping was super fast.
Thanks for making great products
Made in America.
Kelly Clear (verified owner) –
We bought the rock bucket for our JD1023. Living in central Oregon the second you till dig whatever you are confronted by an ocean of rocks. We had an area that was to be sodded and the rock bucket saved the day! I would recommend this attachment to anyone. I cleared more rock than I could have imagined and in record time!
Thank you Redline!
Bryan Robbins (verified owner) –
I made a mistake when I ordered, it was built and shipped and then I realized I had ordered the wrong Bucket. I called and they were super helpful, let me return the one I ordered wrong ( I paid the freight back ) reshipped the one I needed in a few days. Hands down the best company to buy from. Oh and the bucket is awesome.
Dan McFarland –
Fantastic, excellent, perfect and everything else positive. I have looked at rock buckets in the past and always walked away because of the weight and cost. These guys have solved both of those problems. I called and spoke with Matt on Monday, placed an order on Tuesday, and now on Friday I have my new rock bucket. It should have arrived on Thursday, but Fed-Ex had some kind of delay. The bucket is beautiful and perfectly fabricated. Anyway, this will be one of those tools that I say “I NEVER regret buying this!!” I got the 2″ tine model. It works great! Soil needs to be dry to flow between the tines.

Jeff Snow (verified owner) –
Very happy with this purchase for by JD2320. The 3″ tine spacing is just right for sorting out the rocks in dry soil. It can get clogged if there are too many roots or the dirt is too moist, but shaking the loader helps to clear it. I was concerned that the tips would bend to easily, but after using for digging and raking, everything is perfectly straight. It is plenty strong and yet light weight enough to use easily and not rob lift capacity. I had shipped to my work ant it arrived in less than a week.
Buff Combe –
I purchased the Rock Bucket for my John Deere 1025r. I live in Southern California in the High Desert where all rocks go to retire. Needless to say my wife and I have put the Rock Bucket (once we learned how to use it) to work. I can’t imagine not having it now.
The build quality is outstanding and has no problem standing up to our use (or abuse).
Thanks Matt for a quality product!
David Schoggins (verified owner) –
I have a John Deere 3033R. This rock bucket for the series 1 and 2 fits just fine on my series 3. I got the three inch spacing. I wanted the smaller and lighter bucket so if needed I could pickup more weight. I found that if I use my landscape rake to make small piles of roots and rocks I can then use this rock bucket to sift out the top soil and remove debris. The dryer the soil the better it works. The three inch spacing works well with my river rock that is around three to five inches on average. It was shipped to right away and I had good tracking info from Redline. I’m quite satisfied with my purchase. The quality is good and the people at Redline helped me chose the right bucket that would work for my needs. I would recommend them to others.
Scott Moore (verified owner) –
Ordered a rock bucket for my 1025. Was having a hard time deciding 2” or 3” spacing. Went with 3” and after using for about an hour, happy with my decision. If I need smaller, I’ll just drop in some expanded metal. Bucket was built and shipped within a week. Very solid and great looking welds. Very happy with the bucket and this company.
Brian Brown (verified owner) –
Works perfect with my JD 2025r. The JD quick connect matches perfectly with my loader and the rock bucket is light enough to pick up more rock. I moved tons of rock from my rocky mountainous property. I decided with the 2″ version. it works well for the fine rock and final clearing. Order to Delivery was about 9 days.
Mark (verified owner) –
I love the 2 inch rock bucket that I got. Got to use it the other day just not on rocks, instead I used it to remove a big patch of weeks so I could plant a tree. It worked a whole lot better than I could have imagined. It got the roots and all and a few shakes of the bucket all extra soil fell through too.
Mark Sunner (verified owner) –
I couldn’t believe it, when I ordered this bucket I expected it to be shipped in a couple of weeks.it shipped at 5:00 PM on Monday … Tue at three PM i got a call from the shipping co that they wanted to set up a delivery…I said when is it coming? Their answer…tomorrow. MN to Delaware in 1 1/2 days…Unbelievable…better than that, the bucket is outstanding. THANKS Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Gingras (verified owner) –
I am SO HAPPY with this rock bucket on my JD 2032r. Heavy-duty, very well-built. I’ve been working it hard all fall in heavy New England clay loaded with rocks. 2″ spacing works great for me. Also very useful for breaking up compacted soil and back-dragging. Prompt responses and excellent communication with Matt. So helpful! Fast shipping to a nearby freight dock where they loaded the pallet right onto my pickup. Highly recommend!
Mike Gavin (verified owner) –
I had several questions for Matt concerning the shipping of the bucket which he responded to quickly. I bought the bucket with 4 inch spacing to deal with rip rap in a culvert and it works well. The bucket fit perfectly on the quick change loader of my JD 1023E.
Mike (verified owner) –
Love mine on my JD1023E. Fits right up and easy to pin on. Does a great job with rocks but it also does a great job with moving split firewood. This bucket is very well built and will last a lifetime. Quick shipping and Matt was great to deal with. Nice dealing straight with the owner
Jerry Landis (verified owner) –
I love my John Deere rock bucket it works great. You can cut down the amount of material that you haul off. It also makes the dirt usable. I would highly recommend it. Just wish that I had bought the grapple with it.
Thanks for a great product

GEORGE (verified owner) –
We bought the 3″ spacing bucket to do some excavating at our cabin. We have almost no soil and all rocks. The bucket performed even better than anticipated. To top it off it was about a $1000 cheaper and arrive in half the time John Deere was offering! It is a great attachment and I literally couldn’t do what I am doin at our cabin without it!
Robert (verified owner) –
Great bucket that is fairly priced. We are on a river in the Rocky Mountains and have a massive amount of old river rock in our fields which we were filter out so we could seed the fields.
Todd (verified owner) –
Purchased the 1/4” thick model with 2” spacing. Matt provided excellent customer service and advice to get the correct attachment for my machine (not too heavy) This rake has been very helpful clearing rocks from a house demolition. As an added bonus, it works really well to groom the sand beach around our pond. Excellent product quality.
Rick Fetzer –
I’ve been prepping a site on my property for a 28′ x 30′ storage building. A lot of stumps and rocks, The rock bucket with 2 inch spacing came in handy for working the rocks and roots loose to get the site flat. Works better than the bucket and can be changed out in minutes on my John Deere 1025R. I’m using it now to sift the pile of topsoil to remove the larger rock, I load it up and use a three prong long handled garden rake to kind of rake and move the dirt so it falls through the tines. What’s left is all rock to set aside. It is working just like I thought it would and couldn’t be happier with the purchase, delivery and quality. Will be using it later on hauling firewood
Mike J (verified owner) –
I did alot of searching online before deciding to reach out to Redline. I got a return call from Matt within a couple of hours. He was very helpful and answered my questions so I ordered from him. When the bucket arrived, I was impressed with the build quality. It fit up perfectly to my John Deere 1026R tractor. I have been using to clean up a small area of my property.
Jimmy Vogel –
I recently ordered the 60″ rock bucket with 2″ tine spacing. Showed up extremely quick even with it be Thanksgiving. I just moved about 10-12 ton of 12″ to 18″ rocks and the bucket is a beast! Very impressed! The 60″ seems like a perfect match for my 3039R. Very good quality, and craftsmanship. Highly recommend. I thought the price was very reasonable.
Brian Vielweber (verified owner) –
Heavy duty and well-built piece of equipment I wish I would have purchased sooner. Works great on removing rock and debris. I also utilized it to break up soil and clean sticks and leaves from atv paths.
John terry (verified owner) –
Been using it on projects here and there, and love it, ive used it in so many ways, lets just say its on the tractor more than my normal bucket. Best part is making soil and grading is easy, garden is cleaned to perfection too…
Don T (verified owner) –
I already own a rock bucket from another well-known dealer, but purchased this one because it is smaller, lighter and has narrower spacing. I really like the ability to get in between more tight spaces. I ended up welding some rebar horizontally across the back of the tines to prevent some of the smaller, flat rocks from slipping through. A great buy for the price – solid welding and tough… already have over 30 hrs on her.
Eric (verified owner) –
Great bucket. Fits perfect and works great.
John (verified owner) –
Purchased the Cat 1,2 rock bucket this spring and it worked great to remove both rock and sod clumps in lightly tilled feed plot and pollinator strips. It was easy to order, perfectly described and was shipped and arrived in East TN within a week. A well designed and made steel implement that will last generations!
Jeffry J Natzke (verified owner) –
Great value! Fast shipping, perfect fit and finish, heavy duty. I purchased the 3″ spacing but probably should have gone with the 2″. I use the bucket primarily for rock removal and leveling dirt. Works great. The teeth on the bucket allow you to get under buried rocks much easier than the standard bucket. The unit arrived in great condition. Highly recommend this rock bucket.
Gordon B. Sillars (verified owner) –
I ordered this as a “Rock Bucket” for the obvious sifting of rocks out of dirt. I got the 2” tine spacing. And it works great for that, as it should. Experimenting, I found out that it also works great as a rake! My palm trees and eucalyptus trees constantly rain down branches and fronds, which this attachment rakes right up easily. It also tends knock down the bumps and gopher mounds and smooth out the property. As others have stated, it’s great for moving firewood too.

Rock bucket is built very well, bought it to clear rocks from my food plot, works great for moving firewood also.
Gerry Stark (verified owner) –
This bucket was perfect for the project I purchased it for. However, I’ve found so many other useful uses for it. We lost the teeth from an expensive Excavator bucket and It was an easy task to find them using this bucket! Also, I use it to clear rocks from my garden and many other tasks. In fact, I find it more useful than I originally imagined and it never fails.
Lindsey Equipment (verified owner) –
John Deere dealer here! We have sold several of the Redline rock buckets now. Every customer has been very happy with the quality of the bucket. Solid product at a great price.

Steve Walthall (verified owner) –
I received my Rock Bucket. Paint job was amazing by the way. Yesterday I got to try it out. Like all buckets it takes a little practice to get the angle just right to get a full scoop but it works great. Also the two inch was the right choice for me.
I enjoyed talking to you. Thanks for your help. Please send rain.

I ordered the 54″ JD Rock Bucket with 2″ tines on Sunday and received it on Thursday via Fed Ex. That’s fast shipping. It came on a pallet secured with a metal Band in perfect condition. It’s so pretty, I kinda hate to start lifting rocks with it. Looks like a work of art :-). Anyway, great price, excellent quality, great customer service and fast shipping. It doesn’t get any better than that. I’m very satisfied to say the least. Thanks Matt
Brad Hagen –
I bought this for my new 2025r
Very fast shipping (was picked up by FedEx same day)
Arrived on lift gate truck (I did pay the extra charge)
Perfect condition on pallet secured with metal band
Super easy to attach/detach
Works perfectly (2″ spacing) – I use it more than the stock bucket
Seems plenty strong enough without excess weight
If I knew how well this works I would have bought one for my JD4200 years ago
Justin Fehl (verified owner) –
I purchased a 2” spacing bucket to separate a huge pile of mixed material I had from years of renovation on a house property. This bucket is exactly what I needed. Top notch quality and fit. Thank you for a great product at an excellent price.
Shawn Walker (verified owner) –
Really great quality. I got the 3 inch spacing and I use it to pick up rocks, bricks and other stuff out of my fields. Mostly in old building lots and along rail road tracks. Works great, and my back really appreciates it the most. I use it on my 2520 mostly, but did put it on my 1025R once. I would definitely recommend getting one for your miniature tractors.
Charles Goldsworthy (verified owner) –
Amazing product. It’s the only skeleton bucket on the market that fits a JD 1025r properly. I have 10s of hours sifting through dirt and rocks. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
