There is big need for elimination of the hard work of manual stone picking within farming. The Kongskilde Stonebear stone picking machine is an attractive alternative to the hard manual work and further it helps to protect harvesting machinery against damage. The Stonebear stone picking machine automates the stone picking and comes in a rugged design for on-going and continuos operation. It is created by Kongskilde, an originator of mechanical stone picking machines.

Rake and collect in one operation
The Stonebear rakes are designed to follow the contours of uneven fields thanks to the adjustable depth control wheels. The reverse rotating rakes and the heavy duty spikes, made of high tensile steel in a spiral arrangement, draw the stones to the center of the machine onto the sieve. The heavy duty vibrant Kongskilde tines, engage the drum sieve and throw stones into the hopper. Soil and smaller stones are effectively separated through the sieve.

Built for long working life
The Kongskilde Stonebear is a solid structure of high quality material, designed for a long working life with features like the power transmission which consists of V-belts to protect against overload and absorb shock forces when the drum or rakes engage a large stone. Or the heavy duty vibrant Kongskilde tines, made of convex steel, with a specially developed shape for optimal strength.

Each cleaning unit is a separate self-containing cultivator, with own depth control and suspension. The units always follow the soil contours without compromising on adjusted working depth, and the shares are always working at the same depth over the whole working width.
The cleaning units are mounted with the unique Kongskilde Universal or VCO tines. The tines vibrate the weeds free from surrounding soil, so that they can disappear quicker. The tines also improve drainage without disturbing the soil structure.
Special designed plant protection shields prevent weed, seeds and soil thrown into the rows. The shields are adjustable in width to prevent plant damage. The shields can be automatic locked in raised position when not needed or in a later plant stage.
