Rear Blade What's good for picking up rocks

[Worldtraveler777]

Hi, I live in the Texas hill country and have an abundance of rocks; both on and in the ground. What's the best impliment for wind-rowing the rocks so I can pick them up? I've been looking at blades, landscape rakes, and a box blade.

Any ideas?

A landscape rake with the rear tines for softball to soccer size should work. How big are the rocks..??

Most of the rocks are baseball to softball size rocks, some are larger. I was leaning toward the landscape rake, thanks.

You can winrow them but you still have a lot of stoop labor to pick them up. You might see if you can rent one of these briefly:

I think a landscape rake with tail wheels would help you alot. The tail wheels would help limit the amount of dirt you would move.

I have just got in a good used Vermeer automatic rock picker with dump box at the back. $6500. Ken Sweet

Google Degelman rock rake. it will winrow rocks on or just below the surface. It is a powered unit running off the PTO. Keeping these units running can be a challenge though.

Are there any brands that you'd recommend?
