Holy cow, one of my facebook friends’ icon looks so much like you and your tractor in that picture I was thinking maybe you are the same guy. I checked your profile but you don’t give a state.
When I looked at the full sized picture, his is an international 444.
BTW, that thing looks really cool. Here we have a big parade on July 4th and a TON of rebuilt classic tractors are in it.
Sorry about the profile.
I’m now in WV although we still have our house in OH. Sorta still in between states for awhile.
How thick is your grass? What about a low-er-tech version ... stiff rods that hang down between the front tires and go down to the level you are cutting. The rod comes into contact with something solid and a sensor lights up inside the cab.
Just an idea.
That was me after I bought my property in KY but before I moved there. Fortunately we were an airline family so we could fly for free to and from our then home of Seattle.
Well, thick enough that I can’t see the rocks...
But that may be a good idea.
We just moved down permanently. In the past, I could only cut a couple times a season so the grass was knee-high and finding rocks was a problem every spring. If I can get the fields cut and maintained, it will be less of a problem, although they do seem to pop up out of the ground every year.
Another idea was some sort of scraper - almost like a cow catcher on a train. Maybe hinged with a riding wheel as we have pretty rolling terrain. Idea was any rocks low enough to hit the bushhog in back would hit the scraper in front and either make a noise or get pushed out of the way.
