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. |
