Hey @oldnotdead , thought of your post about rock picking when I saw this. I was at a small town Independance Day parade Sunday. There was a local company in the parade, a local farming family invented this. Pretty slick. I’m sure they’re spendy though and you need a skid steer. https://www.terraclear.com/products/rock-picker I would’ve promised my first born when I was a teenager if I’d have saw this.
Oh farmers here have had rock pickers for decades...it was potato country for many years and still is in some part. I mentioned a mountain of picked rocks one farmer took out of a new field last year literally taller than the 2 story barn he put it next to. Actually the whole thing was bigger than that old milking barn I don't have an arm an two legs to part with to be able to afford the rental they charge for that service..lol
Thought about this while pulling weeds...and rocks! I just want to cry...so many years and so , so many piles of rocks. This years heave was horrible! I was bent over for hours picking blade killers. How I kept my sanity? I just kept repeating as,I grabbed them" there's a I dare you to mow, another dare you to mow , oh a big dare you to mow," etc, etc, etc........I drove by the farmer that had the rock mountain....he has rebuilt the mountain this year and his,field still looks, horrible...lol
