ELHO Scorpio 550 - The industry standard

The Simple Way to Remove Rocks

Featuring a fully hydraulic drivetrain and automatic depth control, the Scorpio 550 makes rock picking easy with innovative solutions like a telescopic hitch with collision protection and the ability to temporarily increase hydraulic pressure for maximum lifting power. 

This 18-foot (5.5m) model boasts a 2-2.6 cubic yard hopper and 8.9-foot (2.7m) tipping height for increased capacity and efficiency.

Picking rocks is tough work. Whether you are a Farmer, Rancher or Contractor, rock picking must be timed in between other tasks usually before planting or after harvesting.

The ELHO Scorpio 550 rock picker is equipped with unique solutions that make it easy to remove rocks from the field. One of the key features of the Scorpio 550 is its fully hydraulic drive train. The hydraulic flow is 22.5 GPM, which is achieved with 110-150 bar. The hydraulic drive is designed for use with a tractor’s normal dual function hydraulic coupling and a nominal pump size of 29 GPM. The maximum continuous use is 24 kW, and the tractor’s own cooler keeps the oil temperature optimal.

Automatic Depth Control enables the machine to follow the surface of the ground with a constant working pressure. This makes it easy and pleasant to operate the machine, even in extremely dusty conditions.

The hydraulic system can temporarily increase pressure to the second pickup motor when needed, and the lifting force at the end of the tines is 1500 lbs.

Sturdy Hardox 500 tines can rotate at higher speeds than traditional steel spring tines. The higher rotation speed improves sieving and soil removal, and it also breaks up organic materials better. The diameter of the picker is 5'10" and rotates at 80 rpm, wh ile the tines rotate at 125 rpm.

The Hardox 500 tines have rubber bushings, allowing them to flex backwards up to 1'7" to prevent blockages.

The Scorpio 550 has been the best selling Rock Picker for years and has become the industry standard.
