Kongskilde presents the Stonebear SB 4000, removing stones have never been easier
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.
