ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is adapted to be attached to a self-propelled vehicle and includes a rock raking unit with a toothed rotor and a rock collector bucket connected to one end of the raking unit by double articulated pivot bars to swing between open and closed positions relative to the raking unit. Rocks are raked into the bucket during rotation of the rotor in one direction and, by reversing the rotor when the apparatus is raised to a dump position, the raking unit may be pivoted to an open position relative to the bucket. The apparatus includes an easy-to-fabricate rotor, a power-rotated brush for clearing rocks from the rotor, and a bucket with a perforated bottom.
