Picking rocks with a Thomas rock picker

Picking up windrows of rocks with a Thomas bed chain rock picker

[@mohammedayaz2792]

Why am i finding a machine that picks up rock so interesting :)

[@garyh4458]

There sure are a lot of roots and sticks in that field!

[@DLKHAY]

You're right there is no one perfect rock picker

[@garyh4458]

Mexicans are pretty good.

Thanks for shareing

That seems to be a very good machine. Would some mods to the front help? It seems like a rotating feed cylinder(similar to rock rakes ) on top of the pick up ramp could clear most jams. Wings on the sides would keep rocks from escaping when it starts to jam up. My rock problem was so bad that 30 years ago I stripped and screened the top 2 feet of my yard and garden area(about 1.5 ac). I had wanted to clear a 3 acre field and dig a 3 acre pond but the rocks were too much for my old dozer. Good Luck, Rick

They do the best job to be honest. This biggest issue is hitting a big rock with them and letting it try to go up the chains. Thanks for watching

[@survivingmaineona20acrefar77]

I have a Thomas and they are perfect machines till that damb chain comes apart .

[@massey375]

Yes they are agrivating. I have to carry a ratchet strap on the tractor all the time to put back together. Lol

Hi maritime farmer I am looking to buy a rock picker would you no where I could pick one up at I am in Nova Scotia? Thanks

[@cuperdiaz232]

It works pretty good to me and you make me one

[@waynebusse6376]

I'd say the pto ground speed is too slow, I've watched dozens of rock picker videos and yours was not moving the soil up the shoot fast enough.

[@massey375]

Most people dont have ground speed on their tractors. Trust me they work way better on ground speed than on 540. Alot are converted potato windrowers so have a different gear box if i run mine at 540 it will throw rocks over the dump box so most were fitted with a transmission cause you need to be able to reverse the bed chains to clean out. I live in the area where these pickers were designed and built ive run them for alot of years

Hey this is jose from mexico how can l contact you ??

[@mitchbatten8281]

Doing more plowing than picking. Need to balance end A with end B.

[@TheDIADUIT]

Need to have it in 540 in order to keep it cleared

[@supjay3945]

Towing too fast? They coming off the sides

[@TG15CLAN]

Belt needs to go faster

[@murdered1415]

I'll buy it off you if you ever want to part with it

[@brucerazor5202]

Need to increase your PTO speed

[@angelalejandroortizmaqueda474]

Habla menos y muestra más la maquina en funcionamiento y como quitas el atasco que has formado

[@markwiza3839]

Your loosing more than you picking
