Buying a new machine for the farm....you won't believe this thing!

What happens here

The presenter attaches the rock picker to the Gehl RT210 skid steer. He then drives the skid steer to a cleared area littered with various sizes of rocks. He demonstrates the rock picker's function by lowering the tines and driving forward, allowing the rotating tines to scoop rocks into the basket. The tines also agitate the soil, causing dirt and smaller debris to fall through the grates while retaining larger rocks and some vegetative matter. He practices flipping the bucket to release collected rocks into a pile, aiming to refine his technique to collect only rocks and minimize dirt. The video shows successful collection of numerous rocks, demonstrating the efficiency of the attachment in clearing large areas of rocky ground.

Goal: The presenter attaches the rock picker to the skid steer and demonstrates its operation by systematically collecting rocks and debris from a cleared field, effectively preparing the ground for further landscaping.
