stone picker

Apart from the kids idea (my personal favourite), can you sift the soil for the rocks or is it really hardpacked or sodded? If it's tilled farmland, try a rock bucket. Something like one of these S. Houle ones. Their BB series works on lightweight tractors and skidsteers.

Horst Welding is Canadian as well and their stone fork is here- HORST WELDING | HLA >> STONE FORK ( RETAINER STYLE TINES)

The S. Houle 4' one is over a hundred pounds lighter than their 5' model and the 5' Horst stone fork.

Are you just trying to get the surface rocks? The Rockhound site has a video... seems to do a pretty smooth job... but they also don't show it going through a really rocky field... or going very deep.

Might be able to rent one on a skidsteer locally to try it out.

Does that rockhound work on 2' stones?

Kids....thats why you have KIDS.....

They make great stone pickers and whiners at the same time!

I was going to suggest a good dump fork, been on the handel many times picking rock, made the mistake of letting a neighbor chisel plow 30 acres for us years ago, took us 3 weeks to clean the rocks off
