oh my...what a beautiful piece of iron. Non existent around my parts though. I actually thought about building some kind of conveyor...gave up on that idea.With the number of rocks I'm seeing I'm wondering if one of those conveyor loaders they use to load millings with wouldn't be faster? I think anything you use is going to have to stop every 10 feet or so to remove the rock that have been collected, the conveyor would do it on the fly. After a pass to remove the surface stones you could go at it with a Harley style power rake and bring subsoil stones to the surface and then collect those.View attachment 173609
pto stone crusher can be hired but only if you take the whole service of D6, Bell loader, then tractor with pto stone crusher. A year on the waiting list before that kind of magic happen. Idiots...What about picking the largest rocks out hiring someone with a pto stone crusher to take care of the rest?
I racked my brains and could not come up with anything else other than this option to get it done unless I want to wait a year on the waiting list and that's depending on if there's rain or not cause they don't work if there's rain... :/I think you're on the right track with the backhoe mounted rake, for the are involved and equipment at hand.
He's in the middle of the Indian Ocean with a relatively small plot, so rockpickers and conveyors are out of the question. I posted the pic to give him an idea of how it's done around here.
Hvy1ton, he says in #5 they have something similar, just doesn't seem to want to wait for it, and or pay for it.
