well.....as good as a rake bucket is, especially under a tilty... it's borderline !

That's worrying

That's worrying

I think he means the work life balance vs the new rake bucket is borderline.

He couldn’t possibly be slanting the rake bucket - you’ve just bought one of the best attachments going there - along with a ripper!

Every time I think about a rake bucket I get stuck at the first hurdle, 50mm or 75mm spacing on a three footer, what do others use?

 

[groundworker]

50mm for me

Think I'll go 75

Think I'll go 75

50 on ours great for a bit of riddling too

 

[Giles]

50mm on my 1.5/3 ton one 75mm on my 5 ton one

 

[Gunners]

50mm on my 1.5/3 ton one 75mm on my 5 ton one

Giles knows the score...
50mm on my 1.5/ 3t
75mm on the 3cx
A bucket for every occasion

Little extension dig out today about 100 ton to come out due to height, into 1 ton dumper and onto front but up a narrow lane so actually getting rid of it is yet to be solved. @hiluxman might be coming to save me with is wagon lol. If not try get tractor and trailer in.

It really depends what your doing with it. I have 75mm but tbh if it's dry enough to not clog up I'd prefer 50mm as it's surprising what size rocks still gets through 75mm. But if raking root matter etc 75mm is fine

Amazes me even with 50 what gets through i might put an extra bar across the middle of ours at some point

I went with 75 for the 3t, when i borrowed one last year was given a tip, when using under a Tilty using it slightly offset has the effect of closing up the spacings, which seamed to work.

I have 50mm on mine. Quite often a half brick with frogs will slip through. At 75mm whole bricks will fall through.
It I was getting one for the bigger machine I would still go 50mm

Looks like big red will be busy for a bit.

Wouldn’t take long with a transit

50mm on my 1.5/3 ton one 75mm on my 5 ton one

Mine is 50mm on the 1.5 ton, best use for it I have found is breaking out an old slab. Pull out the big lumps and leave something resembling type 1 behind.

With 75mm gaps it would be more like 6F2 which is hard work with a small machine/thin build up.

Hope you have some Hardox in it
