Degelman 3 Point Rock Picker

Degelman 3 Point Rock Picker

Typically attached to the front of a tractor, skid steer, telehandler or loader equipment, a 3 point rock picker is designed to agitate and dig the ground to separate rocks from soil, reducing the amount of rock piles and allowing for smoother land for cultivation activities.3 point rock picker It is highly useful for areas of the field where rocks impede farming operations and can reduce financial burdens on seasonal labor, streamline business, and minimize machinery damage.

Unlike standard rock picking equipment that requires an operator to comb over the entire field, Degelman’s signature series pickers are hard on rocks but gentle on soil and allow the operator to concentrate on problem areas.3 point rock picker They are also much more efficient and can be adjusted to meet a wide variety of conditions, maximizing the use of available acreage.

A front mounted rock picker attaches to a tractor’s three-point hitch and features a collection mechanism that scoops up rocks and stones as the vehicle drives over them. The collected debris is then deposited in a sieve style bucket for later relocation or disposal. The system can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of conditions and soil types and can also be equipped with a tarp for additional protection from the elements.

Tow behind rock pickers, which attach to the rear of a tractor, operate in a similar fashion by using a collection mechanism that pulls rocks and debris from the field. They are often more efficient than front mounted rock pickers as they can be used on fields with a variety of road surfaces. However, their reversing abilities can be limited and it is important to consider this when selecting a model.

The signature series rock picker’s frame is constructed from double-wall, formed steel to withstand the heavy pounding of rocks in the hopper box. A rugged reel spring is a key feature that moves constantly to prevent jams, and it features a weld-on urethane puck for added durability. The grill teeth are welded to the frame with an optimum taper for maximum efficiency and are made from round solid C1045 steel shafts that have a natural spring to them to resist impact damage.
