Here are a couple of items I have made and use. I live in Central Oregon where we have a bit of snow and lots of lava rock to deal with.
The rock rake was made from 3x4 3/8 angle iron and 3/8 flatbar. Rake clamps on lower bucket using tapped plate and 3/4 bolts which screw down onto bucktet bottom. This unit will pluck a large rock out of the ground with a little practice. Also will pluck out complete Bitterbrush and Sagebrush plants.
Snowplow is clamped on the bucket bottom also, in the same manner as the rake. It also has a top link to the top bucket flange for stability. I have used both items for several years and they work quite well. They were not hard to make and saved the large cost of buying new implements.
