When it comes to continuous rock pickers, tough isn’t good enough. It needs to be Field Tested Tough if you want something that holds up to years of abuse. Only Summers incorporates as many heavy-duty features, such as planetary hydraulic direct drive and reinforced batts, to keep you running, whether your rocks are two inches in diameter or 20.
Brand loyalty is fierce between Team Red and Team Green in the agriculture world, which is something Summers has long understood. Well, we’ve listened and are offering you a choice. Now any time you order custom equipment from Summers, pick between the color that fits your operation best – green or red. It’s that simple.
The rock picker is equipped with two 3-by-31-inch hydraulic cylinders with hardened shafts to tip the hopper. The system is designed with a 38-inch dump height and extra-steep dumping angle to ensure all rocks and debris are removed.
Extra-Long Hitch
An extra-long hitch provides greater visibility of the rock picking operation when using a tractor equipped with dual rear wheels. A shorter hitch can be special ordered upon request.
Heavy Duty Batts
The large-diameter reel is engineered with three reinforced batts for maximum durability. The batts feature a spring-loaded trip action, allowing them to operate damage-free in tough conditions. For added reliability, the batts pivot on greaseable steel pins within replaceable bushings.
Planetary Hydraulic Direct Drive
There are no chains or sprockets to wear out and constantly adjust. Our low-maintenance, high-torque reduction planetary gear system runs in an oil bath and is direct coupled to the hydraulic motor, which is internally protected for extreme use.
Thick Steel Frame
To withstand heavy abuse, we gave the rock picker a durable frame made of reinforced 5-inch square tubing.
Flotation Tires
The standard 16.5L x 16.1 tires are ideal for use on any soil profile.
Hydraulic Swing Hitch
By activating your third hydraulic remote, you can swing the hitch from transport position to the offset position for ample working clearance.
Reinforced Hopper
The high-capacity hopper is gusseted for added stiffness and strength. It also has a grated floor and perforated back plate for maximum sifting of dirt.
Extra-Long Tines
The specially contoured picking tines are extra long, so more dirt can fall through before reaching the hopper.
Clevis Hitch
A clevis hitch comes standard on the Rock Picker.
Electric Solenoid Lift
This option allows simultaneous operation of the reel and rake on open-center tractor hydraulic systems with insufficient oil flow.
