Grizzly vs Skeleton Bucket

[RichardT]

Looking for some help with my decision paralysis. I attached a couple of photos of the type of soil I have.... a lot of melon sized rocks. Disregard the large boulders in the pic. I'm planning on doing some misc work on the property, and want soil and rocks separated so I don't have to buy material.

For my L47 TLB, and those soil conditions, do you think I'm better off with a Skeleton Loader bucket or a Grizzly? They both seem fine on the surface.

I understand it will take time to sort/move material around either way. I searched and saw some Skeleton threads, but wanted one specific to my material type.

Also, seems to be endless skeletons for sale. Heavy Duty AF I'm guessing?

100% grizzly!
If the soil is sticky, you will need a power grizzly to shake it up and break it up.

Our soil looks like your top pic, including the big rocks, and all three local backhoe guys use grizzlys.

Agree
I have a skeleton bucket and it's really only "great" if you pick up small amounts and shake it a bit.

and like said, if wet.... forget about it.

That said, I don't regret the skeleton ... it's handy for a lot.


but in your case, Grizzly.
