Farming Just got DANGEROUS!

What happens here

With the rock picker attached, begin the rock clearing operation in the field. Drive the Gehl RT210 skid steer slowly across the terrain. Lower the rock picker to skim the surface of the soil, scooping up rocks, branches, and other debris. As you move, activate the hydraulic rotating comb to agitate the collected material. This action causes loose soil, dirt clods, and smaller fragments to fall through the tines, while larger rocks are secured within the picker's bucket. For very large rocks, use the clam shell function to fully grasp and lift them. The host demonstrates picking up a rock he estimates to weigh about 1800 pounds, highlighting the power of the machinery. Repeat this process across the entire field, making multiple passes as needed, focusing on collecting as many rocks as possible to prepare the ground for future planting or grazing.

Goal: Effectively remove rocks and debris from the field.
