Skeleton bucket suggestions anyone?

[John T]

What brand do you have ?

looking around for one ... Looking for 2" Tine spacing...

Messicks has the Virnig brand... but 3" spacing ... not sure where it's made.... I'd rather buy made in USA

anyway, appreciate any suggestions.



This one is made by Redline.... (2")

I have the Virnig model. Bought it from Messicks. It's USA made. I use it more than my standard bucket. If you have clay soil or soil like clay the 3" is what you want. Redline makes a 2&3" space models and they are the ones that recommend 2" sand/loss soil and 3" for most others including clay. The Redline looks like a good attachment. I bought the Virnig because I needed right away and the Redline is made to order. Purchased on Monday and it was at my house Wednesday morning. Granted I live in upstate NY so shipping from Messicks is 1 day.

Any update on how it's holding up? I'm looking at the 72" for my 4630

Fantastic so far.
I haven't used it for rocks though (very few in the soil large enough to sift with it), I use it for ripping up and sifting roots. It's absolutely fantastic for this. Much better ripping than the BXpanded Piranha bar.
It also holds all my other buckets when I nest them together for storage.
