central mn
They were built about 20 miles from me in clarissa,mn. Two of my neighbors have them. Theres are both older models but work fairly well. They do a good job but it does take some time. One of the guys has two different drums, one has a bigger screen, so they swap the drum and it will pick really small rocks or it can pick bigger ones. They do not work well in fields with any trash. Small grain and bean fields are okay, if you have had corn in the field, the year before, forget it. you will have a pile of stalks. They are good machines, Theirs are both older and the one is getting worn out but they used it some last spring. The one neighbor used his to pick 80 loads off of 40 acres. The only down fall i see to them is you have to rake infront of it and they like to let the rocks sit for a day in the windrow to let dirt settle. If it rains you will have a mess! I don't know much about the yellow ones, the plant has a sign on it now that says Cherrington, (not sure if thats spelled right) All of the equipment they make now is yellow and black. Not sure if still making rock pickers, was a write up in local paper awhile back how they were making equipment to clean the sand down on the beach by the oil spill.
