Tinkering!???
Tinkering is when I build a cup holder for the lawn mower. This guy should be running GM, maybe they'd make money again. When I built our fireplace my wife and I considered harvesting the rocks from the field across the street, but we would have had to load them in the bucket or in the back of the truck by hand. If I had that thing it would have taken about 15 minutes to get what I needed.

Well thought out design and setup, I like the fact that he can clear a field on a larger scale machine than most I have seen. This one appears to be economically feasible to use. Good Luck with it.

Another "Wow!".............what a rig!

What's the base machine it's built upon?

Agree with the above about the "tinkering" aspect................that's not tinkering, that's prototype development

Don't know if this mans an engineer or what, it just doesn't matter! You have done the American Hometown Fabricator Proud! This is what I would call GIT-R-Done! ! ! ! Have a stone and rock problem? No problem with some COMMON SENSE thought behind ya. Where the auto plants went a-stray is when common sense left. GREAT JOB! People like you guys make me proud to be AMERICAN! Guess you'll always havea job with that machine cause where I live, stones grow new every year. Again GREAT JOB and my hats off to ya. John

Truly inspiring, Let me know when he comes out with the smaller TPH pull version for a back yard, I could really use that!

My first thought was, I wonder how heavy a wire screen he has on his cab, but then I saw the two big damper wheels. Makes you wonder how he figured out he needed them. Yikes! Good for him! I hope he makes a fortune...or more and enjoys the process.

As someone who has spent time picking stones by hand, this machine is awesome!

He needs to get together with someone with a crusher (or maybe build his own) - could make some really nice crushed gravel out of the stuff this machine is picking up and sell it.
