Anybody know what this is? It came in a pile of stuff I got when I bought a tractor. I hate to junk it then find out I should of kept it.

Rock picker for a bucket?  The dirt goes into the bucket while the rock and larger objects get caught.  ??

Yep, rock picker. Looks to be homemade and should attach to a loader bucket. With the bucket slightly above ground the tines will kick the rocks into the bucket leaving the dirt behind. Similar to this one..

I guess it could be but it's only 17" wide, my bucket is 40" wide and I can't seem to figure out what the little spring loaded lever is for.

It looks like the front is a pivot point with the pin on one side and the opening with a bolt stop on the other. Maybe the lever is a latch release to drop it into position. Some pickers just flip the rocks to the surface so they can be picked up afterwards.

Thanks, Jim!

Yep it's a mini rock or debris catcher. It  will or should hook on to your bucket. Just watch using it. Sometimes they can cause a bigger mess real quick.

Thanks, Tim.

Denny, if these guys are right about what you have there...the size would suggest hooking up to a walk behind.
