Frequently Asked Questions

A curved rock picker uses a spade-shaped design that lets you zero in on individual rocks instead of scooping large volumes of dirt. The angled tines allow soil to sift through while rocks roll free and don't get trapped between bars. At Kasper Rock Master, customers report this design works up to six times faster than traditional skeleton buckets.

Traditional flat skeleton buckets scoop too much dirt and trap rocks between the bars, forcing operators to stop and clear them manually. This wastes time and hauls valuable soil off the field. The curved design of the Kasper Rock Master solves both issues by letting dirt sift through and rocks roll cleanly into the bucket.

Yes, the Kasper Rock Master can remove rocks up to 3–4 feet in diameter by loosening them from multiple sides and lifting them out. The curved bucket gives you better visibility and control, making it possible to handle boulders that would require a crew with hand tools otherwise.

With a curved rock picker like the Kasper Rock Master, you retain most of your topsoil in the field because dirt and pebbles sift through the 2½-inch spaced tines. Traditional flat buckets pull significantly more soil with each load, reducing the fertility and depth of your growing layer over time.

The Dirt Master's sharpened spade-shaped sides and front cut cleanly into sod and packed dirt, just like a hand spade but with skid steer power. The notched tip focuses pressure for better control, and the curved design moves soil quickly without dragging excess material. It's ideal for digging root balls or moving large volumes of dirt efficiently.

Yes, the Kasper Rock Master and Dirt Master were both designed and tested in Pierz, Minnesota's challenging glacial till and rocky farmland. The angled tines and curved shape handle frozen ground, clay, and embedded rocks that are common throughout central Minnesota fields.

A curved bucket attachment eliminates the need for hand crews to bend, lift, and haul rocks manually. The operator stays seated in the skid steer while the bucket does the heavy work, separating rocks and backfilling holes in one pass. This dramatically reduces fatigue and injury risk on large properties.

Flat skeleton buckets trap rocks between parallel bars because the angle and spacing don't allow stones to roll or shift naturally. The Kasper Rock Master uses angled 1-inch square tines spaced 2½ inches apart, so rocks slide cleanly into the bucket instead of wedging tight and requiring manual removal.

Yes, the Kasper Rock Master includes an extended back plate that lets you push loose soil back into the hole immediately after lifting out a rock. This saves a second pass and keeps your field surface level and ready for planting or grading.

Kasper Rock Master and Dirt Master buckets are built from quality steel with durable welds and powder-coated finishes designed for long-term field use. The first Rock Master prototype was built over 15 years ago and is still in operation, proving the design holds up to repeated heavy lifting and digging.

The open bar design on the Kasper Rock Master lets you clearly see what you're digging and picking up in real time. This improves accuracy, reduces wasted passes, and helps you target individual rocks instead of blindly scooping dirt. Better visibility means faster, cleaner work with less rework.

Traditional skeleton buckets trap rocks between flat bars and scoop excessive dirt. The Kasper Rock Master uses a curved, spade-shaped design with angled tines that let rocks roll free while dirt sifts through, preventing jams and reducing soil removal.

The curved design lets you zero in on individual rocks instead of dragging large volumes of soil. Operators can see exactly what they're picking through open bars, and rocks don't get stuck. Customers report working up to six times faster than with flat skeleton buckets.

Yes, the Kasper Rock Master can lift rocks up to 3–4 feet in diameter. The curved design allows you to loosen large boulders from multiple sides before lifting, and the angled tines provide stability during transport.

The Kasper Rock Master features 1-inch square steel tines spaced 2½ inches apart. This spacing allows dirt and small pebbles to sift through while capturing field rocks, preventing the bars from clogging or trapping stones.

Flat skeleton buckets scoop broadly instead of targeting rocks. At Kasper Rock Master, our curved, spade-shaped design digs selectively, separating rock from soil and keeping productive topsoil in your field rather than hauling it away.

Yes, the Kasper Rock Master includes an extended back plate that allows you to immediately backfill holes after removing rocks. This eliminates the need for a second pass and keeps your field surface smooth and ready for use.

The Kasper Dirt Master was originally developed for tree transplanting. Its sharpened spade-shaped design cuts into sod and packed dirt with precision, moving soil faster than flat buckets while maintaining control and reducing root disturbance.

The Kasper Dirt Master has sharpened sides and a notched front tip that focuses pressure between the skid steer arms. This design cuts into sod and packed dirt like a spade, not a square shovel, improving digging power and control.

Absolutely. The Kasper Rock Master and Dirt Master were invented and tested in Pierz, Minnesota farm fields with challenging glacial rock. The curved design handles frequent freeze-thaw cycles and varied soil conditions common throughout central Minnesota.

Using flat skeleton buckets that remove too much topsoil along with rocks. This wastes valuable dirt and requires more passes. At Kasper Rock Master, our curved design targets rocks specifically, keeping soil in the field where it belongs.

The Kasper Rock Master eliminates the need for hand-picking crews, reducing back strain, fatigue, and injury risk. Operators work up to six times faster than with traditional buckets, meaning fewer hours and less manual labor per acre.

Yes. Kasper Rock Master and Dirt Master buckets are built from heavy-duty steel with durable welds and powder-coated finishes. They're designed, tested, and refined in real field conditions for repeated heavy use by farmers and contractors nationwide.
