Does anyone have any recommendations for a rock bucket that will attach to the older, pin-on LA350 loader?

I'm having no luck finding a setup that will work. Everything is SSQA, and a SSQA adapter is about as expensive as the bucket itself!

Thanks.

If you don't want to buy a SSQA adapter, buy a rock bucket and have pin on plates made for it, but, Unless you can do all you own work it's going to run you more than an SSQA adapter would.

Here is one simple version.

One word of warning: A rock bucket on a LA350 and a B2150? (guess) will be a whole lot for it to handle.
Your lift is only 771lbs to start with.
They were designed for much larger, stronger and much heavier setups than what you have.

Most rock buckets weigh too much to start with, then add rocks and you'll have a hard time picking it up or if you do you could end up on your nose. :p

If you need to sort some rock out of the dirt look on Craigs list for a grizzly (dirt screen), you wouldn't have to change the tractor around and they work great.
