CA 2509883

A rock picking apparatus for pulling behind a tractor features a wheel mounted frame, a reel assembly having batts or rakes for dislodging rocks from a ground surface, a hopper or container for storing the collected rocks and an apron, fork or grille for providing an inclined pathway from the ground surface to the hopper. To avoid jamming, the present invention has a floating reel assembly with batts rigidly mounted thereon. The reel is pivotally supported for movement relative to the frame limited by an abutment member. If a batt comes into contact with an immovable obstruction while sweeping the ground surface, the entire reel assembly is raised, allowing the reel to continue rotating and the batt to pass over the obstruction. The apron is also floating in order to pass over obstructions. The floating reel assembly moves with the floating apron, but is also free to move relative thereto.
