Cost-effective Scorpio 430 stone picker

Compact Power for Small to Mid-Sized Operations

As our most compact and cost-effective rock picker, the Scorpio 430 packs professional-grade performance into a nimble 14-foot (4.3m) working width. Requiring just 17 GPM of hydraulic flow, this agile machine is ideal for use with smaller tractors while still delivering the same robust features as our larger models, including:

  • Automatic depth control (optional) for consistent performance
  • Reversible rotors for quick jam clearing
  • Hardox® 500 steel tines for superior durability
  • 2-2.5 cubic yard hopper capacity and 7'10" tipping height

The Scorpio 430 is ELHO's newest and smallest Rock Picker model that includes all proven features of the Scorpio range in a more compact package. The Scorpio 430 is a cost-effective and agile model that can be used even with smaller tractors. ELHO Scorpio Rock Pickers have earned an excellent reputation around the world. The hydraulic drive is flexible and reliable, and it can also operate in reverse. The tines are made from sturdy Hardox 500 steel and are more durable than traditional spring steel tines. The inlet rotor rotates at 80 rpm, while the rakes rotate at 125 rpm. All hopper components are bolted and easily replaceable.

The smaller Scorpio 430 is substantially more affordable than the larger Scorpio 550 and 710 models. The working width of the new model is 14′ (4.3 meters), but otherwise it shares the same basic features with the bigger models. Automatic depth control and other advanced features are available as options.

The Scorpio 430 can be used with smaller and older tractors compared to the larger models. The Scorpio 430 needs only 17 GPM of hydraulic flow from the tractor. Four hydraulic blocks are recommended, but three are also sufficient by combining two of the functions. The new Scorpio 430 has a single axle, while larger Scorpio models have tandem axle. The Scorpio 430 is ideal for contractors, farmers and cooperatives. The more affordable and narrower model is also suitable for smaller fields and tractors.

The new model can pick rocks between 1.5″ to 16″ in size. The operating speed is 1-4 mph and working depth 0-3″. The hopper capacity is 2-2.5 cubic yards, and the tipping height is 7′10″, making it possible to empty the hopper directly into a dump trailer. Picking rocks, roots and other debris from the field makes subsequent field tasks more efficient and prevents damage to equipment, such as harvesting machines.
