📘 Overview
The Haugen rod bucket is a skid steer skeleton bucket that separates rock from soil as you dig — spaced tines let dirt fall through while rocks, roots and debris stay in the bucket. Two series: the HRB with 7/8" round rod tines in 60", 68" and 76", and the industrial HIRB with heavier 1" x 1.5" bar tines in 76" and 84". Both carry a tooth bar with replaceable teeth.
Haugen builds the industrial series for skid steers and tractor loaders, so it is not limited to skid steer use.

🪨 Rod or Industrial — What the Tine Section Changes
Both series do the same job. The difference is how much abuse the tines take.
- HRB, 7/8" round rod. Round section sheds material well and the lighter build keeps bucket weight down — 690 lbs at 76". Suited to field rock picking, landscaping and general clean-up where the material is soil and stone rather than concrete and rubble.
- HIRB, 1" x 1.5" bar. Rectangular bar in a heavier section, oriented so the depth of the bar resists bending. At 905 lbs the 76" is 215 lbs heavier than its HRB equivalent, and that weight is in the tines. For demolition debris, heavy rock and continuous commercial use.
If tines have bent on you before, that is the case for the industrial series. If they have not, the HRB moves the same material for less weight on the machine.
🦷 The Tooth Bar
Both series carry a tooth bar with replaceable teeth along the leading edge. Teeth break the ground and start material moving into the bucket; the tines then do the sorting. Teeth are the wear item and are replaceable rather than requiring bucket repair.
🚜 Skid Steer and Tractor Loader Fitment
The HRB rod buckets mount to universal skid steer quick attach. The HIRB industrial series is built for skid steers and tractor loaders — specify which when ordering, since the mount differs.
Weights run 565 to 995 lbs empty. A skeleton bucket full of rock is dense, so check your machine's rated operating capacity rather than assuming a bucket that mounts is a bucket you can fill.

❓ Skid Steer Skeleton Bucket FAQs
How does a skeleton bucket work?
Spaced tines let soil fall through as you dig and shake, while rock, roots and debris stay in the bucket. You end up carrying the material you want to remove instead of hauling soil with it — which also means fewer loads and less topsoil lost off the site.
HRB or HIRB?
HRB has 7/8" round rod tines and is lighter; HIRB has 1" x 1.5" bar tines and is built for demolition debris, heavy rock and constant commercial work. At 76" the industrial version weighs 215 lbs more, all of it in the tines.
Will the tines bend on a rock bucket skid steer setup?
The round 7/8" rod on the HRB handles field stone and general clean-up. If you are prying at buried rock or working broken concrete, the 1" x 1.5" bar on the HIRB is the section built for it.
Can I use it on a tractor loader?
The industrial HIRB series is available for skid steers and tractor loaders — say which machine when you order, since the mounting differs. The HRB range is skid steer quick attach.
Are the teeth replaceable?
Yes. Both series carry a tooth bar with replaceable teeth, so the wear item is a part you swap rather than a repair to the bucket.
How much does it weigh?
565 to 690 lbs across the HRB range, 905 to 995 lbs for the HIRB. Rock is dense, so factor the loaded weight against your machine's rated capacity.
What are the tine dimensions on each series?
The HRB uses 7/8" round rod tines, 14 on the 60", 16 on the 68" and 18 on the 76". The industrial HIRB uses 1" x 1.5" bar tines, 18 on the 76" and 20 on the 84".
