The drone footage with the music made the bobcat look like Wall-E off the film tidying the place up! 😀
Tom Pemberton Farm Life,good eye! It actually does
Tom Pemberton Farm Life ok
Great video footage from the drone ! Many years' back my uncle bought a mechanical rock picker for his mountain farm here in NJ . Think of a hydraulic driven power rake on the back of a 4-wheel wagon box [ kinda like a manure spreader box ] . After a couple of years it got parked in the wagon shed never to be seen again. He discovered when he picked too many rocks his farm was in the stone rows ! IAC, that's a nifty tool !
That Rock Bucket looks like a good tool, I think I'll look into one of these. I don't have a farm , like you do Ryan, but my nephew does a fair bit of vegetable gardening and he is bothered with a few more rocks ( baseball/softball size ) than he can haul away in a wheelbarrow. This may be the answer.
Thanks for this.
you could definitely use a rotary picker. they are in a booth just down from me. way easier to use
Ryan if you haven't purchased a grapple for your bobcat you should. Absolutely best attachment I've purchased for mine.
You did good with it for the first time out
Oh, that is cool. I so wish we had a bobcat for our little goat farm. We have rocks all over the place here in Northeast Kansas.
I have found that working the ground a few times.. then using diamond harrows after... the harrows pull the rocks and roll them on top the dirt
Very useful piece for that bobcat
I use the versa rake friends with the owner and love it if you get the box blade version it has the connect points on the back for the bob cat as well great tool and can pull or add bars to filter different size rocks and or garbage
At 3:24ish good thing you’re calling it a “rock” bucket cause that looks like all you got
Thanx enjoying your videos from the left coast near the Krapitol of California
We always used a chisel plow and an attached drag for rock removal in the fields
Did you go to the farm show in Oshkosh? It was pretty cool!
Looks like it did a nice job. A time saver, and we know..time is money.
Yeah what you said about the rocks coming up is true but, tilling your ground and working it tends to make more rocks come up faster. Nice video!
very well done
I am from the Netherlands and we have that problem to , depens where you live in holland but you method looks funny to me to smal machienne for that kind of work!
those buckets work good for cleanimg bed pack too
good looking top soil
have u though of using a rock picker that u can use to pull behind the tractor
Hey Ryan are u ever going to hoist a meetup in Nebraska it would be awsome if u did great vid ryan
Thank you for the NON-ear splitting music this time. :-)
In Finland we got an machine what can pick rocks up to 12 inches and its very cool
The word you were trying to say is 'sieve.' Kinda like sifting flour! :)
The smaller rocks tend to get stuck in between the tines and if you leave them in with use they can be a huge pain to get out so you have to beat them out with a sledge or use the top of a post and get them out that way
Wow!!! I knew you had a rock problem but you were rolling out some that could really damage a peace of equipment! You might have to haul in some top soil to cover them..
good buckets have 2 for the farm one for each skid steer
Can I ask you what you used to till the field with?
Hi Ryan can you do a video of you cleaning out your barn please and thank you?
I guess they don't call it Rockville for nothing.

There's a lot more where that came from lol . Good job.
Youu may want to consider getting a rock picker to pull behind the 4020/7600 made by Summers,Kongskilde or Schulte
A rock rake for the tractor to quickly gather them then the rock bucket to remove from the field without stripping the soil with them. That and a dump trailer will let you quickly work as you avoid the dump runs with the slower bobcat.
Love it
Hi, how much is enough rubber on the truck.
Here in Indiana you contact the local Boys Scout Troop and have a rock picking day. You make a donation for their hard work and you get to drive tractor and wagon. Feed them lunch (pizza) and they will be in HOG HEAVEN.............
It would be a wise investment to keep the rock bucket with as many rocks that surface an it's a good bucket for manure moving
could have used this last week when cousin hooked a large rock with the subsoiler..
You should invest in that T7.315 as you seemed to enjoy driving it at harvest then you can let the 8235r have a bit of a break throughout harvest you don't need to put it always on the auger wagon, you could put it on the trailers to cart the corn
You have $250,000 laying around
if thats your tractor though and you have a hire one in pile the hours on the hire tractor so yours depreciates less. I dont know if he owns his 8235, but that would be my logic, thats assuming he would hire the NH
and would you ever buy or rent a excavator to take out some fence lines like a 330 caterpillar size and bigger ?
Get yourself a commercial rock machine, it's like a potato digger but it pulls out all the rocks. When you get your place done you can hire out to other farms and make a killing in the fall after harvest and in the spring before planting and on resting fields through the summer.
Looks like theres a lot of welding to make one of those rock buckets.
Sorry for ma bad english but i think you understand what i mean! I like yoe video,s go one with that please.
You should do a video if they let you on Wisconsin and southern railroad new lease grain railroad hopper cars
beats the hell out of picking them up by hand.
with al of those rocks you can build a house for the bobcat! XD
bobcat litter scooper!
ryan you can use the rocks to make a road mabye or sell them
Ryan how many hours is on the bobcat just wondering?
Indiana Farm Boys yeah you guys have some of the order kind of Massey but in a Scotland we have anywhere from 3120-8737 hardly any on the smaller Massey's are around now:(
how big of a rock problem do you guys have. I work for a company that produces Maschines for rock separating if you wanted more info.
Are rocks actually bad for crops or just bad for your equipment. I know tons and tons of rocks are abd for crops, but it there a reasonable amount?
its a big problem with equipment when it comes to harvest and also seeding as they can destroy machinery
good
Any rockpicker is better than no rock picker. The drier it is the better it works. Use a spring tooth harrow to pop the rocks out then scoop them up.
You've the start of a rock wall going there.
SURE BEATS WALKING THRU FEILDS PICKING UP ROCKS BY HAND,BEEN THERE DONE THAT,WE USED HAY WAGON,THEN AFTER PICK THEM UP,YOU GET TO FINGERPRINT THEM AGAIN GETTING OFF WAGON
seems like a long laborious job.... but needs to be done...
+Kevin Willis Much better than picking them up by hand like in the past however!
How Farms Work good point...
you need a rotary rock picker for the bobcat
search robo the rock picker
Have you ever thought of putting front linkage on your planting tractor and having your rock bucket on doing two jobs in one
Michael Bradley their planter is 30 feet wide so they would have to have a 30 foot wide rock bucket, which doesn't exist and that's basically a plow at that point and a hp suck usually going to see rocks come up on seed bed prep too before they plant as that's when we get all our big rocks up but that's all backbreaking work so I mean it would be a good idea but not practical
A field looks good after picking, until it rains and it looks like you missed half of them!!
It looks to me that this gone cost you a very long time to do before all the rocks are out is there not a more easy way to do that there and mebay with a bigger machine?
Buda Buda Buda THATS ALL FOLKS
Can you sell the rocks
doesn't the place you hire the fertilizer spreader have a mechanical conveyor rock picker you could hire
What brand is the bucket?
It's a Virnig rock bucket.
Star industries also makes one
why won't you get a bucket same as that one but a brush bucket
How Farms Work do you ever replace/add soil.
Funkydude why would you replace soil?
sorry ? If your taking rocks out the ground over time, will the ground level not drop ? so the need to replace the rocks for soil. ??
Funkydude no, it is no different than ripping up the soil in the fall and/or spring. Soil is full of dead/decaying organic matter. So it almost sort of regenerates itself with the crops that were harvested. So like corn stalks, bean stubble/bean straw, wheat straw, etc
Dude when you said rocks I thought a bunch of potato size rocks. Those are friggin boulders! Those things must really rip up your plows.
rock buckets are a godson where I farm
also, to need to try a m-series or m2-series bobcat. The s590's will be a better replacement for that 773 (which is a damn good skid)
looks like it does a good job. we were out in the field yesterday cultivating in southern Minnesota. and my brother has a Instagram called farmkid9400 he take farm photos. and a nice video:-)
Gonna have to change the name of the farm.
All rocks!... no treasures?...
its my farm here
I took the day off so I could be first. I made it fourth...
You can see you forgot one that fell out the bucket..
John deere model 1952 model a
Do that long enough you'll get yourself a wall.
if it´s just for a few rocks this should be ok
why don't you raise some pigs and why do you plant in lines of corn hay bean ??? instead of 1 field for each I'm from Ontario Canada and within the next 2 weeks or so well be done with snow
Those aren't rocks they are boulders! You need a PTO powered rock picker
caterpillar skid steer with pilot controls would be much easier on yourself
Caterpillar equipment is overpriced junk. Pilot controls are just something else to fail.
chargermopar ive had more problems with jd and bobcat then I ever had with cat...
That is good to know as a friend has had hell with his Cat skid steers and Cat excavator, Numerous problems and expensive parts. I run 20 year old or older Bobcats and Gehls and have few if any problems. My oldest skid steer is a 1968 Mustang and even it is more reliable than my friend's Cat equipment.

I have a story about picking rocks one day I was helping a neighbor pick rocks out of his hay field and we found a rock bigger in size then his John Deere 3020. It was a huge piece of shall and it made a hole 2 foot deep.
Be nice if it had a vibratory on it.
I thought your video was very informative. However, I do not understand why or how you have a wheeled skid steer and not one on tracks. Very confusing to me.
Why do I feel weird having this last name now
OH OH You just took out your rock problem and said they will never go away, and your not sure you'll keep the rock bucket....Hello Ryan Hello - Are you inside there...................
+Speedster1919 Well at the time of making this video we found our solution, just not sure if we're going to take it :P
Your not picking the rocks at the ideal time. Never use a rock bucket in chiseled ground. Run the soil finisher over the chiseled ground to break up the dirt so that the dirt sifts through the tines on the bucket. I know your anxious to try it out but your kinda jumping the gun here.
I couldn't tell if you thought it was worth the investment or not. Yeah... no, yeah.... no
+Bill Whitman Worth the investment, just wasn't sure if I was ready for it at this point in tax time.
It does look like it does a good job. Of course you don't have rocks like we have in Southern Indiana. We have one we decided to dig out that was about a foot out of the ground. Using a JD 550 dozer we quit when the rock was taller than the dozer top. Good deer hunting place though.
Stop babying it lets see what it can do with real rock as opposed to those few you found in the field.
