Tractor-Mounted Rock Box

Tractor-Mounted Rock Box ROCK PICKERS Rock Pickers 26-4-34 After dropping a rock on my hand while putting it in the cab, I had to have major surgery on a cut tendon. I decided I needed a better way to handle rocks. I thought about putting a box on each piece of tillage equipment but instead decided to put one box on the tractor. The photo shows the box on my Case-IH 9230. I made it by taking a front weight to a local welding shop and having them build the box around the weight. We ran round bar stock through the hole in the weight and put heavy-duty mesh in the bottom to let dirt filter out. We do have to manually unload it but it holds a lot and works great without modifying the tractor at all. (Harold G. Cosstello, 8170 S. St. Rd. 17, Kewanna, Ind. 46939 ph 574 653-2363)
