Rock bucket attachment incorporating sweep-in grapple for partial or full collection and conveying of miscellaneous debris
A rock bucket attachment for securement with a skid steer unit or tractor front loader, the attachment incorporating a bucket for use in combination with a grapple, the bucket having side walls, back walls, and a bottom wall, at least one pair of grapples interconnecting by lever arms to the side walls of the bucket, said at least one pair of grapples having a pair of side arms pivotally connected with the front of the lever arms, and hydraulic cylinders interconnecting between the back of the side arms and the back end of the side walls, or the frame structure interconnecting between the two, such that when the hydraulic cylinders are actuated, they initially pivot the lever arms forwardly to their fullest extent to arrange the grapples and its rake over a debris pile, and then further actuation of the hydraulic cylinders pivoting the side arms relative to the lever arms to pivot the rake of each grapple downwardly to urge any debris onto the bucket as the rake comes into proximity with the front of the bucket, to retain any raked debris therein. There are at least a pair or more of grapples operatively associated with the rock bucket attachment.
