CT-2100 Rock Picker

📦 Complete Pick-and-Collect in One Pass

The CT-2100 digs, screens, and stores stones in a single continuous pass — no secondary collection step required. This eliminates the need for a separate front loader, stone picker, or manual labor to gather windrowed stones. One machine, one operator, one pass. Total labor cost is dramatically lower than a rake-then-pick workflow.

🗃 2.5 m³ Integrated Bunker

The generous 2.5 cubic meter bunker holds a significant volume of stones before requiring a dump cycle. This means longer working runs, fewer interruptions, and higher daily productivity — especially in fields with moderate stone density where one bunker load can cover a substantial area.

🔨 Soil Screening Technology

The bar-type screening conveyor separates fine soil and returns it to the field, meaning you collect stones — not topsoil. This preserves your valuable topsoil layer, avoids creating barren patches, and results in cleaner stone material in the bunker. Cleaner collected stones are also easier to dispose of or repurpose for construction fill, drainage beds, or farm tracks.

📋 Precision 1.95 m Working Width

The 1.95 m working width is optimized for European-standard row widths, inter-row picking in orchard and vineyard operations, and precision applications where a wider machine would be unmanageable. It also ensures excellent maneuverability in tight field corners, along fence lines, and on irregularly shaped plots.

💰 Outstanding Value vs. Premium Brands

The CT-2100 delivers comparable pick-and-collect performance to premium European and North American stone pickers at a significantly lower investment cost. Combined with low maintenance requirements, readily available replacement parts, and factory-direct pricing, the total cost of ownership is substantially lower than established brands — without sacrificing reliability or stone picking quality.

💪 Heavy-Duty Build for Harsh Conditions

At 3,400 kg, the CT-2100 is built to handle the relentless impact of stone picking season after season. Reinforced bunker walls, oversize bearings, spring-loaded picking teeth with automatic overload protection, and a heavy-gauge frame ensure long service life in the most abrasive soil and stone conditions.

🌏 3-Point Mounted Compactness

Unlike many competing stone pickers that are pull-type (trailed) implements requiring extended hitch poles and wide turning radii, the CT-2100 mounts directly on the tractor’s Cat 2 three-point hitch. This provides a shorter overall machine length, tighter turning radius, easier reversing, and better maneuverability on small or irregularly shaped fields — a significant practical advantage for European and Asian farming operations where field sizes are typically smaller.

🌾 Agriculture – Potato, Root Crop & Vegetable Land Preparation

For potato, sugar beet, carrot, and onion growers, even small surface stones cause bruising, harvest damage, and mechanical breakdown. The CT-2100 picks stones clean from the seedbed and removes them entirely — not just pushes them aside. The 1.95 m working width aligns well with standard row spacings, and the integrated bunker eliminates the need for a secondary collection pass. The result is a stone-free seedbed and significantly reduced harvest-season downtime.

🏗️ Construction – Subgrade Clearing & Site Preparation

On construction sites, loose stones must be physically removed — not buried or redistributed. The CT-2100 picks and stores stones from subgrade surfaces before paving, concreting, or final grading. The collected stone material can be reused as construction fill, drainage aggregate, or sub-base material, turning waste into a useful resource.

⚽ Landscaping & Sports Turf – Deep Stone Removal

Creating a truly stone-free playing surface for golf courses, football pitches, or equestrian arenas requires complete stone removal — not just surface raking. The CT-2100’s digging rotor penetrates below the surface to extract subsurface stones that would eventually work their way up through turf. This provides a longer-lasting stone-free result than any surface-only rake.

🌳 Forestry & Land Reclamation

In replanting and reclamation projects, the CT-2100 removes stones, root fragments, and woody debris from cleared land. The picked material is collected in the bunker and can be dumped at the field edge or loaded into trucks for disposal, leaving a clean planting surface for seedlings or grass seeding.

🏛️ Windrow Collection After Rock Raking

The CT-2100 is the ideal second-stage machine following a first pass with a rock rake or stone windrower. The rock rake creates concentrated stone windrows; the CT-2100 then picks these windrows directly into its bunker for transport and removal. This two-stage workflow is the fastest, most efficient method for large-scale stone clearance — especially on fields with very high stone density.

Q1: What is the difference between a rock picker and a rock rake?

A rock rake (stone windrower) pushes surface stones into windrows that must be collected separately with a loader or a second machine. A rock picker like the CT-2100 is a complete pick-and-collect system — it digs stones from the soil, screens out fine material, and stores the stones in an onboard bunker. No secondary collection step is needed. If you need stones physically removed from the field, a rock picker is the right choice.

Q2: What size stones can the CT-2100 pick?

The CT-2100 effectively picks stones ranging from approximately 30 mm (1 inch) up to 500 mm (20 inches) in diameter. The minimum size depends on the conveyor bar spacing, which can be configured to suit your typical stone size distribution. Stones smaller than the bar gap pass through and remain in the soil.

Q3: How often does the bunker need to be emptied?

This depends entirely on stone density in your field. In moderate-density conditions, the 2.5 m³ bunker can cover a significant area before needing a dump cycle. In very heavy stone conditions, more frequent dumping is required. The hydraulic dump system empties the bunker in seconds from the tractor cab, so the interruption is minimal.

Q4: What tractors are compatible with the CT-2100?

Any tractor with at least 110 hp, 60 L/min hydraulic oil flow, a Category 2 three-point hitch, and 2 double-acting remotes. The rear axle must support the 3,400 kg machine weight plus the variable load of collected stones (up to approximately 1,500–2,000 kg additional when the bunker is full). Popular compatible models include John Deere 6M/6R, New Holland T6/T7, Case IH Maxxum/Puma, Kubota M7, Fendt 300/500 Vario, and Massey Ferguson 6700 series.

Q5: Can the CT-2100 dump into a standard farm trailer?

Yes. The hydraulic dump system lifts the bunker to a sufficient height to discharge directly into standard farm trailers and dump trucks. The steep dumping angle ensures all material is fully expelled. All dumping is controlled from the tractor cab via the hydraulic remotes — no need to leave the seat.

Q6: Does the CT-2100 preserve topsoil?

Yes. The screening conveyor is specifically designed to separate soil from stones. Fine soil and organic material falls through the bar spacing back onto the field, while only stones and large debris are carried into the bunker. This preserves your valuable topsoil layer and avoids creating barren patches — a critical advantage over crude bucket-and-loader stone removal methods.

Q7: Are the picking teeth replaceable?

Yes. All picking teeth are individually bolt-on and replaceable without special tools or welding. The spring-loaded trip mechanism protects each tooth from obstruction damage, extending service life. We supply replacement tooth sets at competitive prices with fast international shipping.

Q8: Can the CT-2100 be used to collect windrowed stones?

Absolutely. The CT-2100 excels at picking up stone windrows created by a first pass with a rock rake or stone windrower. This two-stage workflow (rake first, then pick) is the fastest method for clearing fields with very high stone density, as the concentrated windrows allow the picker to fill its bunker more efficiently.

Q9: Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we export the CT-2100 worldwide. Production takes 15–20 days, with shipping transit depending on the destination port. Full-container and LCL shipping are available. We handle all export documentation and offer CIF or FOB pricing. Please contact our sales team for a detailed quotation.

Q10: What maintenance does the CT-2100 require?

Routine maintenance includes: greasing all bearing points and conveyor chain every 8–10 hours; checking picking teeth condition and replacing worn teeth; inspecting hydraulic hoses and connections; checking conveyor chain tension and sprocket wear; and tightening all bolts after the first 5 hours and periodically thereafter. The machine is designed for easy field-level servicing with standard tools.
