Would you buy... [autonomous rock picker]

[Tucker]

I used to spend all spring picking rocks by hand and degelman when I was a kid here. Now I'm 100% seedhawk and I flag any rocks I see on the gps and come pick them up with a loader tractor after seeding. Usually only about 3 per quarter section. Unless your picker can move serious rock to the pile it's not worth what it would cost. The auto flagging rock thing might be worth something. I remember when Cotton was talking about taking a piss off the 4wd while autosteering seeding. I think I have time to hit the flag button a few times for the odd rock I see.

Sell a turnkey drone with a NDVI and a piksi rtk gps on it and I'd be all over something like that.

I'm more interested in the rock flagging technology. How would that work? Measure trip distance?

I wish Trimble would incorporate that as a one button type app button. It should share that map with other monitors on the farm package ( monitors) then have a simple one button to remove rocks ( might get most of them with a half ton.

Even better if it would share that map or info with a cell phone or iPad

Some employees cant flag a dump let alone every rock. Some folk have a few more than 3 per field.
