2024 Kivi-Pekka Stone Picker 3.3

An affordable, simple and effective solution

Kivi-Pekka 3.3 stone picker is the latest addition to the Kivi-Pekka rock picker family. In addition to traditional cultivation, the machine is developed for special cultivation and landscaping. Kivi-Pekka 3.3 is a very efficient machine in its size group. It is agile to operate, transport and maintain.

The machine has a lifting drum up to 2 meters wide, from which the stones are picked inside the machine. On the sides of the lifting drum are simple s-spike rotors that guide the stones to the center of the machine. The lifting drum uses Kivi-Pekka’s strong tines, which take in stones up to 35 centimeters in diameter. The working width of the machine is 3.3 meters. The stone tank has a large volume of 5 cubic meters. The machine is able to collect 900 kilograms of stones per minute.

The power requirement of the machine is modest. As its drawbar weight is less than 1000 kg, a tractor with 60 horsepower with a single-acting hydraulic output is sufficient to pull Kivi-Pekka 3.3. Thanks to drawbar mounting the machine will turn agilely in narrow places. The drawbars also ensures an accurate working depth. The tipping height is 210 centimeters, so the stones can be easily tipped on a truck. The machine needs only one hydraulic block for tipping. The low and sturdy structure of the machine ensures safe tipping even on an uneven ground.

The Kivi-Pekka 3.3 hopper has a same kind of soil box as in larger models of Kivi-Pekka. Soil box ensures that the stones are cleaned during the tipping phase and the soil ends up in the field.

Features may include:

• Durability

The durability of the machine has been achieved as a result of progressive product development over the past 35 years. The right materials and the best components keep running costs low.

• Soil collecting

Soil collection allows the topsoil to end up back in the field. Cleaned rocks can be used in construction or road building, for instance.

• Sieve

The welded sieve is made of special-alloy steel and is available with different spacings. The tines run between the sieve bars the entire length, thus keeping the sieve clean and preventing jamming of rocks.

• Lifting action

The tipping height is 2,1 meters(78.74 in), so stones can be easily tipped aboard a truck. The machine requires only one hydraulic block for tipping. The low and sturdy structure of the machine ensures safe tipping even on a sloping ground.

• Strong tines and auxiliary springs

All tine sizes give way sideways to prevent blockages. No backwards rotation is hence required. The 12×45 tines are particularly durable and contribute to extended maintenance intervals. All tines are fitted with auxiliary springs and suspended with rubber buffers.
