   Anyone use  a 'stone picker' in the wife's veggie garden ?
Dang grapefruit sized ROCK came up from 'nowhere' and busted the tiller. Arrrgh..like who has 10mm x 45mm shear pins in THEIR barn? 45 minutes later I find ONE 5/16 grade 5 bolt that fit...and back to the garden.
Now I'm paranoid there's another ROCK..so...looking for ideas to remove stones say 1" and bigger.Garden is 50 * 250 so D-14 or garden tractor is available.

	I keep hitting rocks, steel, parts, horshoes, this hear pair of pliers to remove nails from horshoes., etc. never broke the tiller, but my tines need replaced. I think the best thing would be a set of plows, once it's rolled over ya should be able to see the big rocks. then ya can till it. I tried using the neighbors rock rake and it didn't seem to work worth a crab, it just walked over the bigger rocks. I actually have a rock at my front steps I hit with the tiller. 4 foot 10 inches long almost 3 feet wide and several inches deep. loader wouldn't pick it up, had to drag it!!!! rock hounds are expensive and out of questions for this dirt poor fella!!lol
	Just cause it's orange don't make it a tractor, there's only one..Allis Chalmers

	My 'stone picker' is my wife and myself,pulled up one in the garden with the D15 and subsoiler back in March that I needed the skid loader to move.I also have a York rake that I took every other tooth out that gleans rocks out of loose ground pretty good.
