It’s a DIRT-Y job but someone has to do it!
Soil mixed with debris, roots, leaves, gravel or stones.
Wet, compacted earth.
How to process them quickly and efficiently?
In landscaping, gardening, agriculture, and green area maintenance, time and resources matter. MB Crusher’s MB-HDS padding buckets are right tool: they screen, aerate, and mix in one step—turning waste into usable material.
Compact and easy to use, they fit mini-excavators, excavators, skid steers, and backhoe loaders from 3t.
With interchangeable steel shafts, they adapt to topsoil, compost, biomass, and soil prep—whatever the job needs.
Need to process soil, mixed soil or compost?
‘’It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made’’
Jason McDonald, owner of Brandon Plant & Tool Hire since 2008, grew his business from a single digger to a full fleet. Today, they rent equipment and supply bark mulch, building materials, and premium screened topsoil.
But processing raw soil into bagged topsoil? That was a major challenge—until recently.
“Back then,” Jason recalls, “we built a screener with a vibrating deck set at a 45° angle. We had to manually shovel the soil, collect the screened material, and then bag it. It was a two-person job—slow, messy, and far from efficient.”
That all changed the moment he mounted an MB-HDS207 padding bucket on his SANY excavator. The results were immediate:
Jason went from:
❌ Manual work
❌ Time wasted
❌ High labor costs
❌ Low productivity
to:
✅ One operator
✅ Faster turnaround
✅ Cleaner results
✅ Increased profitability
Jason's story is just one example of how the right tool can turn a frustrating process into a streamlined, profitable operation.

Maintenance of parkland, farmland and gardening
In a farmland setting, a John Deere equipped with a padding bucket MB-HDS320 and an RM shafts kit screens soil mixed with concrete to produce high-quality, ready-to-use topsoil
How much does it cost?
Mounted on a Komatsu mini excavator, an MB-HDS307 padding bucket equipped with RQ8 and RQ15 shafts is used to screen soil, removing stones and roots for gardening purposes.
Do you need more details?
A padding bucket MB-HDS212 with RQ20 kit, installed on a mini excavator, is sifting soil in order to clean it from roots and other waste in parkland operations.
Does it fit my excavator?
Agricolture
An MB-HDS320 shaft screener, mounted on a Kobelco SK200 and equipped with RE8 and RQ20 kits, is being used for soil remediation in a forested area to prepare the land for agricultural use.
How much does it cost?
A shaft screener MB-HDS323, installed on a John Deer excavator, is aerating a deposit of agricultural gypsum. The deposit in fact tend to solidify and to create blocks due to humidity, so our screener equipped with kit Re8 can both crush the blocks and screen the material finely.

Compost
The MB-HDS207 padding bucket, equipped with the RQ Kit, is used for efficient compost screening and recycling. It processes mixed organic materials—such as wood fragments and topsoil—quickly and effectively, enhancing the quality of the material for reuse in gardening and landscaping applications.
