Why? Rocks is home to microbes and also are pack full of nutrients that is made available to your plants if you have the right microbes wich you will not if tilling the soil. And keeping it bare..

I’ve used an older dingo driven unit. It’s an amazing tool. Worked our 1 acre pasture nicely.

So close to a perfect machine. Make it filter the rocks AND grass heads out into a collection chamber. It would help so much for people like me that have grass is more resilient than wild hogs.

My Daddy would have loved this piece of equipment. Thanks for making this video.

I used to be a demonstrator for a turf company in the UK back in 1990 who had a Rotordarian franchise and this machine was their best seller. It's a fantastic machine if used correctly. As part of demonstration I would find rocks the size of your head and place them on the area I was working. It buried it with ease. Most of the sales came from race courses,golf course construction and farmers. Also the ground was NEVER pre-worked before a demonstration.

I’m the same way. I love thinking how things were first thought into existence. Most things are thought up by the common man who is doing the work and trying to find a better more efficient solution to fix a known problem. The old saying that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions. A show I used to watch a lot was a show called “How’s It Made”. The one episode I remember was an episode on the evolution of nails. The Romans were the first culture who “mass produced” iron nails for attaching and securing wood building materials. Roman blacksmith slaves could make about a dozen three sided nails 3 inches long in a full day’s work. Then they toured a modern nail factory where a machine spit out hundreds of thousands an hour. Simply amazing what technology can do. I’m a commercial Sheet Metal worker (Union Tradesman). Almost 30 years-I turn 55 next year and I’m retiring. When I first got in the trade we would have to stretch 2 to 300 feet of extension cords to run our power hand tools. Cords would get pulled out of the plugs, cords all nicked from getting ran over. As an apprentice I would have to go climb down the scaffolding walk through 12 inches of mud and plug a cord back in hoping not to get electrocuted in the process. I remember the first cordless drill the company bought. They only bought one and of course the foreman kept it all to himself even though he wasn’t working with his tools. Man it was awesome getting that first cordless drill and not having to mess with all the extension cord hassle. Now when my battery goes dead I make the apprentice run back to the gang box to get a fresh battery. They bitch and moan about being a gopher. I tell them “you have no idea about how hard I had it, I tell them at least you’re not dragging 2 to 300 feet extension cord. Fast forward 30 years I wonder what these apprentices will be telling their apprentices. In 30 years there might not be any tradesman just Robots.

There was no reason for me to watch this but I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation!

When I was building golf courses 20 years ago, we had the same machine, but it was called a Blecavator. We used it on grass,rough untilled land and even some land that was mostly rock and it worked great. The only problem we had was that it would rip the rototiller teeth off and at $80 a piece it got pretty expensive. I'm not sure what the unit cost now but you could pay 8 guys to work before a little landscaping company could afford to buy one of these.

I would love this right now! Definitely looking into one asap!

Bit pricey, but for sure the best implement I have ever bought! Looks good behind a JD:-)

yes. dry(ish) soil is best. totally fine on clay so long as it's been loosened recently. it's a tiller, not an asphalt grinder.

Amazing machinery, Congratulations , very good equipment's design

I'd love to try one of these. Where are you located and how big of a unit do you have? Thank you

Have you considered adding a rock crusher? I ask because an Aussie Co found by using powderized rock you do not need to fertilize, for years, as rocks are made of minerals. They, via airplane, sprayed powdered rock on a strip of land that soon grew vegetation. After ten years the strip turned into a forest. No extra water, fertilizer nothing but powdered rock. The only "extra" thing about their process was the sourcing of random rocks from multiple sights for mineral diversity. As a skeptic I would however like to see the process repeated. Unfortunately I probably won't live long enough for another ten year study. But it was fascinating if the process was that easy. As a selling point, after being proven a second or third time, wouldn't hurt your sales any either. Make a million and send me some. ;)

Neat! I could use something like this for the flower pots on the patio.

Is this machine useful for salad beds? I like the smooth surface, but would the buried stones interfere with rooting of vegetables. Perhaps the screen can be removed and it works like a regular rotavator.

Awesome machine for sure.

so it puts the rocks under the ground where the roots grow? How is that helpful?

Interested in no-till. Would like to see a machine that could make divots. In bare soil I'd want a dense divots. It areas where grass cover could be enhanced I'd want quite a bit more spacing.

The Ultimate Earthworm Blender. I used once that hand held type of tiller, and the stink of death afterwards was devastating. That thing goes deeper and harder, so the mush has even more worm tissue in it.

It sure does make a nice looking seed bed. Only problem is you only ran it through already prepped surface when showing it in film. I’d like to see it going across sod in a video vs just a picture. I don’t think the seed bed will be as nice with a single pass….

The problem is that we need to be working in a direction that gets more farmers using no-till farming techniques. When farmers till the ground, it kills the microbiome that breaks down plant materials into new soil thus making the plant material rot in a way that releases a lot of CO2

Burying rocks look good until the first frost and thaw pushes them up to the surface but, I guess by then the contractor is long gone.

@rotadaironcom269

2 жыл бұрын

the frost / thaw cycle isn't much of an issue if you're seeding the finished product with grass because the roots help keep most of that soil in place. but yes, if you've got a 16cm till depth and bury a 15cm rock, the soil will settle by 30% or more which makes it look like that rock floats to the surface. best solution (if you're not seeding) is to rip the soil ahead of time and pick out any rocks that are likely to stick out after settling.

Would an old 1944 Ford 2n or 9n Tractor be able to run it?

It would be nice if it could put the rocks out on one side like a windrow vs burying them. Some have suggested a holding area but to simply eject in a row might be very easy to accomplish. If we are successful this year we will be shopping around

I can’t believe what I’ll watch. A few years ago I cut cable. I mean I REALLY cut cable removing lots of old redundant cable and poorly installed cable. Maybe I should watch some guy fish. I don’t fish but I’ll watch anyway.

I wish RotaDairon made a machine like this one but in a size of a compact bobcat. It's a great piece of technology, but for the 50% of Americans whose yard space is pretty small and involves lots of tight work around buildings/fences/obstacles, a machine this size isn't practical to negotiate a tight back yard or side yard. Also, how does the RotaDairon do when encountering tree roots? Here in heavily wooded Appalachia, a lot of yard space is loaded with not only rocks but also shallow tree roots. I'd love to turn my sideyard into a smooth well tilled growing bed like this, but I can't figure out what piece of machinery could do it.

It sure makes a nice finish but it needs a rock basket. Covering the rocks not picking them is just hack job.

I have five acres of hardpack granite. I have a feeling this machine wouldn't have much effect on breaking through that layer and tilling the soil effectively. I suppose after a heavy rain it might be able to loosen that soil.

It’s a great tool for someone that needs it every year, but if your just trying to get a leveled lawn like I am then it’s not worth the buy, you guys need to have rental deals with local dealers, Sunbelt rental, etc etc.
