2023 Elho Stonepickers Scorpio 550 SF

ELHO Scorpio stone pickers are designed and manufactured on the west coast of Finland, where large amounts of rocks and stones of all sizes were deposited during the Ice Age.

Our ancestors have fought with stones for centuries, and to this day we are still fighting! Stones in the field can incur huge costs each year by causing damage to harvesting machines. Costs are generated not only by the necessary repairs, but also in terms of lost working hours. Harvesting can be delayed by up to a week or more, depending on the extent of the damage to the harvester or mower. To provide a solution to this age-old problem, ELHO designed the Scorpio range of fully hydraulic driven stone collectors!

The ELHO Scorpio 550 SF (SideFlow) stone picker features a conveyor system that transports the material out of the machine, enables stones to be loaded directly into a trailer.

The centre conveyor has a very sturdy structure and lifts stones from the ground. The kinetic energy of the stones is dissipated before arriving at the side conveyor, which has a lighter structure and is equipped with spring steel rods and a rubber mat. Both conveyors effectively sieve dirt off the stones.

The conveyors can be stopped temporarily, for example in the headland, to avoid an obstacle or when switching trailers. The rake tines continue to collect stones all the time, which are then lifted onto the conveyor when it is reactivated.

The Scorpio 550 SF stone picker is controlled electronically, as on the Scorpio 710 model. The Scorpio 550 SF is ideal for large field areas where it would be inefficient for the pulling tractor to unload the hopper by itself.
