Always sounded like a good idea, yet an amusing idea at the same time. This is my rock box.
I have seen many 2 foot square steel boxes bolted on to the front of tractors, and while doing tillage if they came across a rock, could stop and toss it into the box. This is my rock box. A clapped out old loader bucket I keep around for this kind of thing. I got this bunch of rocks doing one pass on this 25acre field. When I bought this farm 12 years ago I got 10 loader buckets full of rocks off of the sale field. It seems the previous owners had an aversion to picking stones. I am definitely getting ahead of them. My home farm which I purchased 19 years ago was the same way, this year I didnt get half a bucket full from 47 acres. I like the self unloading feature of this rock box.
