The Degelman Signature 7200 and 6000 series rock pickers are the result of over 60 years of pursuing excellence. Degelman rock pickers are unrivalled for performance and durability and are THE industry standard. Our attention to details means these machines will work flawlessly for years to come, as you will commonly find Degelman rock pickers made 50 years ago still working today.
Standard Long Swing PoleOur standard long hitch pole is allowed to pivot, providing a large working envelope, superb visibility for picking rocks and the ability to tuck the picker behind the tractor for narrow transport. By simply pulling a pin, the machine is readied for field or transport. This feature makes it extremely handy to precisely back up to rock piles.
Narrow Transport Hitch PoleFor those with transport width restrictions, we offer a Narrow Transport hitch pole for our Signature Series models. This hitch places the rock picker closer to the center of the tractor in order to reduce the offset of the machine, and take up less space on the road.
Large Stone CapacityWith a massive 28 inches of clearance between the paddle assembly and the grill, large stones are easily picked. These machines are designed to provide relentless heavy stone work day in and day out.
Superior Rock and Soil SeparationDegelman rock pickers are designed to pick stones quickly, efficiently, and keep soil collection to a minimum. The geometry between the reel and grill is designed so that the paddle makes the first contact, lifts and spins the stone onto the grill, further separating the rock from the soil.
The unique interlaced grill and paddle teeth drop the dirt back onto the field. Even the hopper box makes use of grated spring bar strapping to keep rocks in and dirt out.
Windrow CapacityOperators that clear bush and pasture land often use Degelman rock rakes to place debris into neat windrows. Our Degelman rock pickers were designed to take the normally tough demands of a rock windrows. These windrows are often contaminated with sticks, stumps, crop residue and stones of various sizes and shapes. Degelman Signature series pickers are designed to work tirelessly for this exact purpose.
Round Solid Steel GrillThe grill teeth on the Signature Rock Pickers are made of round solid C1045 steel shafts. This steel is much stronger than ordinary mild steel and has a natural spring to it to resist impact damage. A Degelman grill is extra heavy, developed with the optimum sweeps and curves to separate rocks from stones. Every third tooth is welded to the frame to allow small lodged rocks to clear freely. The round profile itself is also the optimum shape with the smallest choke point to minimize jams.
Excavator TipsFrom loose dirt and crushed rock, to concrete and abrasive mining applications - the Degelman excavator tips are world renowned for high quality steel backhoe teeth. These cast steel grill tips provide the ultimate protection against high impact and high abrasion. The solid grill shafts are precisely milled to accept these teeth, and the tips are easily replaced by removing a simple roll pin.
Precision Grill ControlThe wheel placement created between the tractor hitch and the offset tires provides precise reactive control over grill depth, exceptionally important when working in soft and/or wet field conditions.
