3-Pt. Mounted Rock Digger ROCK PICKERS Rock Pickers 25-5-9 Kentucky farmer Melbourne D. Florence came up with a simple way to make a tractor-mounted rock digger.
It consists simply of a subsoiler shank mounted backwards on a frame that fits a tractor 3-pt. hitch. The shank is not modified. A heavy piece of angle iron runs across the front of the shank to help anchor it in place.
