Working Principle of the CT-2100 Rock Pickers Stone Collector
The CT-2100 Rock Pickers operates as an auxiliary agricultural and construction machine designed to clear irregular terrain by systematically collecting and removing stones, roots, and debris. Its core mechanism relies on hydraulic power integration with a compatible tractor, enabling efficient soil preparation while minimizing manual intervention. The system functions through a combination of mechanical rotation for collection and hydraulic actuation for unloading, ensuring precise control and high productivity in challenging environments.
Operational Mechanism
The machine attaches to a tractor rated at a minimum of 120 horsepower, utilizing the tractor's hydraulic system with a flow rate of at least 60 liters per minute. As the tractor moves forward at a controlled speed of 3 to 5 kilometers per hour, the CT-2100 engages its primary components across a working width of 1.95 meters. The process begins with ground engagement, where debris is directed into the collection area.
- Rotary System Functionality: At the heart of the CT-2100 is a hydraulically driven rotary mechanism, typically consisting of a drum or rake assembly equipped with durable tines or blades. This system rotates to agitate and lift stones and debris from the soil surface. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation propels collected materials—up to 80 kilograms in weight—into the integrated bucket. This design prevents clogging and allows for continuous operation on uneven ground, separating larger obstacles from finer soil particles.
The rotary action is calibrated to maintain efficiency without excessive soil disturbance, promoting sustainable land management.
- Tilting Bucket Mechanism: Once collected, materials accumulate in a 2.5 cubic meter capacity bucket. The bucket employs a hydraulic tilting system, activated via the tractor's controls, to facilitate unloading. This mechanism pivots the bucket at an optimal angle, allowing gravity-assisted discharge of contents at designated sites. The tilting ensures rapid emptying, reducing cycle times and enhancing overall workflow.
Safety features, such as controlled hydraulic valves, prevent accidental tipping during transit.
Integration and Efficiency Considerations
The CT-2100's principle emphasizes modularity, allowing seamless integration with soil stabilization equipment. Hydraulic power ensures responsive operation, while the machine's robust construction withstands demanding conditions typical in Brazilian agricultural regions. By automating debris removal, it mitigates risks associated with manual methods, such as equipment damage or operator fatigue, thereby optimizing resource utilization.
Application Scenarios for the CT-2100 Rock Pickers Stone Collector
The CT-2100 Rock Pickers Stone Collector, developed by Brazil Watanabe Soil Stabilizer Machine Co., Ltd., serves as a specialized auxiliary machine for removing stones, roots, and debris from irregular terrain. Its design, incorporating a rotary system and tilting bucket, renders it suitable for demanding environments where efficient land preparation is essential. This equipment finds primary utility in agriculture and construction sectors, where it enhances productivity by automating debris clearance, thereby reducing manual labor and mitigating potential damage to subsequent machinery.
Agricultural Field Preparation
In agricultural settings, the CT-2100 is employed to clear fields of rocks and roots prior to planting or tillage operations. This process prevents damage to plows, planters, and harvesters while improving soil quality and promoting uniform crop growth. For instance, on Brazilian soybean or corn farms in regions such as Paraná or Mato Grosso, the machine operates at speeds of 3 to 5 km/h to systematically collect debris up to 80 kg, facilitating rapid reclamation of rocky soils. Such applications have been shown to boost farm efficiency and protect soil integrity through advanced rock-picking technologies. Additionally, it integrates with soil stabilization equipment to prepare land for high-yield cultivation, reducing downtime and labor costs significantly.
Construction Site Land Clearing
Within construction projects, the CT-2100 facilitates site preparation by removing obstacles from uneven ground, ensuring a stable foundation for infrastructure development. It is particularly effective in rural road building or building site leveling in areas like Minas Gerais, where rocky terrain predominates. The machine's 1.95 m working width and 2.5 m³ bucket capacity enable efficient debris handling in harsh conditions common to both agricultural and construction markets. This application minimizes manual intervention, accelerates project timelines, and supports hydraulic operations compatible with 120 hp tractors, making it ideal for large-scale land clearing tasks.
Pasture and Land Reclamation
For pasture management and land reclamation efforts, the CT-2100 aids in restoring degraded areas by extracting embedded stones and roots, thereby enhancing drainage and vegetation establishment. In Brazilian livestock operations or environmental restoration initiatives, it promotes sustainable land use by preparing surfaces for reseeding or erosion control measures. The equipment's ability to handle diverse debris types underpins its role in reducing long-term maintenance needs and improving overall land productivity.
Opiniones de clientes
We value feedback from our users worldwide. Below are selected reviews from customers in various countries, highlighting their experiences with the product in different applications.
João Silva, Farmer, Brazil "I have been using the CT-2100 on my soybean fields in Paraná for over a year. It handles rocky soil effectively, collecting stones up to 80 kg without much issue.

Emily Carter, Construction Supervisor, United States "As part of our site preparation team in Texas, the CT-2100 integrates well with our 120 hp tractors. Its 1.95 m working width covers ground efficiently at 3-5 km/h speeds. We've noticed improved durability in rough terrain, but the minimum hydraulic flow of 60 l/min means we had to adjust some older equipment. It's a practical addition for debris removal."
Michael Thompson, Ranch Owner, Australia "On my cattle property in Queensland, the CT-2100 helps clear roots and debris from pastures. The 2.5 m³ bucket capacity allows for fewer trips to unload, which is helpful in large areas. It performs reliably in dry, uneven land, though dust buildup requires occasional cleaning. It has made land maintenance more manageable without excessive downtime."
Sophie Laurent, Land Reclamation Specialist, Canada "We deployed the CT-2100 for restoring logged areas in British Columbia. The rotary system picks up debris consistently, aiding in soil stabilization efforts. Compatibility with our tractors is solid, and the operational speed fits our workflow. Maintenance is straightforward, but we recommend monitoring the rotary components for wear in forested environments."
