CMP HydraBucket 2-in-1 Grader & Power Rake System

See the HydraBucket smoke the competition in a leveling race. While the other guys lost time swapping rakes for buckets, Jameson finished 3x faster just by staying in the cab. One tool, zero downtime, and a perfectly smooth finish.

Olaf’s basically showing how you can skip the headache of swapping between a rake and a bucket all day. Instead of losing an hour messing with trailers and pins, you just stay in the cab and get that "carpet" finish in one go. It’s one of those tools that actually makes the day easier because you aren't wasting time on extra work that doesn't even pay.

Look, normally you’d want to mow or disk this ground before starting—this isn't exactly the "textbook" spot for a Hydro Bucket. But we’re putting it through the ringer here because people usually underestimate what it can actually handle.

Since the motor is tucked inside the drum, you can get right up against your forms without leaving a huge gap. You just set your depth, keep the heel down, and it leaves a finish so smooth the concrete crew won't have anything to complain about. It’s basically about getting the grade right the first time without ever having to hop out of the cab.

 Those carbide teeth make quick work of packed-down ruts, grinding through the high spots and pulling the material toward the center to fill in the low points. It's a solid example of how to take a mess of a lot and get it back to a flat, professional grade without a multi-machine setup or overcrowded overweight trailer.

When there's bad ice, the manufacturer skips the salt and sand—it’s expensive, messy, and a pain to clean up later. Carbide teeth chew right through the thickest ice layers without tearing up the gravel underneath. Roughing up the surface with the skid steer gets the traction back. The bucket isn't just for dirt work—it's a solid winter tool for keeping a lot usable.

It’s definitely not the fastest way to mill, but since the bucket is already on the machine and costs way less than a dedicated grinder, it’s a solid way to repurpose old material. It turned those waste chunks into a packed, well-draining edge for the new shop floor. There was a pile of old asphalt chunks that got turned into fill for a new concrete slab.

Working on a razor-thin timeline to keep the track safe between races, they use the Hydro Bucket to handle everything at once. It lets them move dirt, rake, and back-drag in a single pass, before the next gate drops. It’s a pretty cool look at how they keep a high-stakes event moving.

Letsdig18 gets a hold of a massive 84-inch Hydro Bucket. After some initial tinkering to get the setup dialed in, it goes straight to work leveling out a field and cleaning up a gravel area. It’s a practical look at how the attachment handles different textures, showing that once the settings are right, it can pretty much jump from dirt to gravel without needing to swap machines or bring in a dedicated rake.

At a Supercross race, the track can get as hard as a slab of concrete. Usually, you’d have to bring in a dozer just to break up that "Blue Groove," but there isn’t always time for that.

The Hydra Bucket handles that niche perfectly by chipping up the hard-pack and breaking those heavy "gumbo" cleat marks down into fine, crumbly dirt. It’s a massive time-saver for getting the lanes rideable again

We don't just sell the HydraBucket—we rely on it to run our business.


At Professional Stump Removal, we started as lawn care guys. We know that a tree job isn't done until the grass is ready to grow back. For years, we struggled with the 'attachment shuffle'—hauling a bucket to move the debris, then a power rake to fix the soil, then back to the bucket to grade the edges. It was slow, it was a hassle, and it required a massive trailer.


The CMP HydraBucket motorized drum is built right into the heel, I can scoop out a stump hole and then immediately spin the drum to pulverize the surrounding clay into a perfect seedbed. I’ve personally used this on everything from tight residential clean-ups to massive municipal site preps.


The attachment makes my machine feel smarter. If you’re tired of the 'Switching Tax' and you want a grade that looks like a golf course in half the time, this is the tool you need in your fleet. We stand behind it because we use it.

Eliminate the "Switching Tax"

Maximum Billable Time: Finish jobs up to 3x faster by moving dirt and conditioning soil simultaneously. No more stopping to swap hoses or hitch up a separate power rake.


Standard Flow Efficiency: Engineered to hit max torque on standard hydraulic flows (up to 24 GPM). You get professional results without needing an expensive high-flow machine.

The "Owner-Operator" Edge

Field-Tested Durability: We don’t just sell these; we run them on our own municipal and commercial jobs. If it doesn’t make us money, we don’t offer it to you.

Carbide-Toothed Drum: Unlike standard steel teeth, our carbide mining teeth pulverize rocks, clay, and roots with ease, drastically reducing the need for manual hand-raking crews.

Logistical Simplicity

One Tool, One Trailer: Shed up to 1,000 lbs of payload by ditching your dedicated power rake. The HydraBucket allows most crews to stay under the 26,000 lb CDL threshold while using standard 10k or 14k trailers. 



Protected Direct-Drive: The motor is tucked entirely inside the drum—only protruding 2.5"—to prevent damage against foundations or rocks.
