Stone Box

Stone Collection Hopper

A 2 piece hydraulically operated stone hopper can be fitted at the rear of the machine for the collection of large stones to be deposited on the headland rather than discharged into the furrow, Fig 4.5.

During operation of the machine check that stones are being evenly distributed across the stone hopper and not settling to one side or the other.

Always shut down the tractor engine and disable all drives if reaching in to level out the stones by hand.

Do not overfill the hopper as this may result in damage to the machine.

The stone box is emptied by activation of control box switch (see page 14 of Control Box - previous section). The stone box light will show when the hopper is open.

When emptying the stone collection hopper make sure you can see what is behind you!
