Great video footage from the drone ! Many years' back my uncle bought a mechanical rock picker for his mountain farm here in NJ . Think of a hydraulic driven power rake on the back of a 4-wheel wagon box [ kinda like a manure spreader box ] . After a couple of years it got parked in the wagon shed never to be seen again. He discovered when he picked too many rocks his farm was in the stone rows ! IAC, that's a nifty tool !

That Rock Bucket looks like a good tool, I think I'll look into one of these. I don't have a farm , like you do Ryan, but my nephew does a fair bit of vegetable gardening and he is bothered with a few more rocks ( baseball/softball size ) than he can haul away in a wheelbarrow. This may be the answer. Thanks for this.

You should invest in that T7.315 as you seemed to enjoy driving it at harvest then you can let the 8235r have a bit of a break throughout harvest you don't need to put it always on the auger wagon, you could put it on the trailers to cart the corn

The smaller rocks tend to get stuck in between the tines and if you leave them in with use they can be a huge pain to get out so you have to beat them out with a sledge or use the top of a post and get them out that way

A rock rake for the tractor to quickly gather them then the rock bucket to remove from the field without stripping the soil with them. That and a dump trailer will let you quickly work as you avoid the dump runs with the slower bobcat.

Funkydude no, it is no different than ripping up the soil in the fall and/or spring. Soil is full of dead/decaying organic matter. So it almost sort of regenerates itself with the crops that were harvested. So like corn stalks, bean stubble/bean straw, wheat straw, etc

Your not picking the rocks at the ideal time. Never use a rock bucket in chiseled ground. Run the soil finisher over the chiseled ground to break up the dirt so that the dirt sifts through the tines on the bucket. I know your anxious to try it out but your kinda jumping the gun here.

It does look like it does a good job. Of course you don't have rocks like we have in Southern Indiana. We have one we decided to dig out that was about a foot out of the ground. Using a JD 550 dozer we quit when the rock was taller than the dozer top. Good deer hunting place though.
