The conveyor system transports the stones to the stone container for periodic dumping.
In some preferred embodiments, the stone picking implement includes a vibrating means for accelerating the dislodging of soil adhering to the stones. A rotary shaft is mounted transversely above the digging means, and a plurality of sets of flails are arranged adjacently or one above another on the shaft. Each set of flails is secured at its lower front end to a support member fixed at the rear end of one of the elevator shaker bars and extending from the hub of the shaft. The flails are curved away from the direction of rotation, and the flail rods preferably have a plurality of cleats on the ends that engage the stone to dislodge it.
An adjustable depth control is provided for adjusting the digging depth of the digging means. The height of the stone container can be adjusted by tilting it above a transverse axis to discharge stones therefrom. The conveyor system can be shifted to different positions along the frame for varying the grading of stones retained in the stone container.
