Think your field has rocks?

That's pretty impressive but at that speed I'd just start a rock quarry.

 

[rustred]

now that looks like another salesmans joke. it appears they are just buried. get a rock rake and put them in rows then get a rock picker . plus that machine will be junk in no time.

 

[marloweg]

what are they gaining ??

Heck if I know . Burying the problem is what I see.

Don't worry the frost will bring them back up.

Exactly .

Exactly .

They did a good job of editing out all the sparks that must shoot out. I bet it would be a fireworks show in the dark!

We had a plow day on a place like that once.

There are several companies in my area that do rock milling, Landbusters is one. They use a Cat 299 skid steer with a Grim Reaper milling head. The milling head cost $100k & the carbide teeth last app. 200 hrs., add $175k for the skid steer set up to run it. The one behind the tractor in the video looks like a tinker toy.

I'm still wondering what that shiny little machine is supposed to be. I mean what is it sold as? To me, it kind of looks like a tiller.

I looked it up just because I was curious. The machine you showed is very interesting for sure, but I don’t think it has a place getting rid of rocks in a field. We have mill heads on our skid steers at work for milling blacktop. Ours are Cat and only 2 feet wide. Used around manholes, catch basins and anything our big mills can’t get close to. Our big mills are Wirtgen and have mill heads around 8 feet wide maybe a little more. We also have a 4 foot mill of the same make. I can tell you straight up our carbide mill teeth do not last 200 hours. Wirtgen brand. Depending on how hard the asphalt is our guys sometimes change teeth daily or every other day. Basically 20-24 hours run time. Get down too far and you get into the holders and then more parts replacing. Do this for a living and have a decent idea how they work. Your 200 hours on teeth kinda caught my eye. Video showed them milling rock. Can’t imagine that. Concrete will wear out a set of teeth in less than 8 hours. Everything looks good on a video till you go out and do it. I will admit your video is very interesting.

Classic case of "your results may vary".

 

[Jim in LA]

Tarter used to have a video on YouTube where they used their tiller on asphalt and chewing up cinder bloks to show how durable they were.

. This is what's needed.

Now, that's a sweet looking piece of equipment.

I hear you & I thought 200 hr. on the teeth was hard to believe (owners info/ not mine). Maybe the teeth can be rebuilt & have a total 200 hr. lifetime......I don't know. I will say, most of the rock is limestone, but limestone caprock can be really hard. They stay busy, booked about 60-90 days out. There are 4-5 businesses in my area that run the big Barko 930 mulchers (300+ hp./10' heads) and they stay booked up. It has turned into a big business, & if I was younger, I'd have gotten into it 5 years ago. My neighbor had a Barko 930 working for a week for $25k......it did a lot of work.

The buyer or seller? The buyer, I'm not sure. The seller may make a profit.

If you look at the buried rocks at 2:56, it looks like the rocks are just buried, not broken -- and if you look it up and use browser to translate, that's what it says. The thing picks up, sorts and buries the rocks a few inches below the surface.
