Every farmer knows the frustration: stones that damage equipment, reduce crop yields, and turn fieldwork into an expensive headache. But what if clearing your land could be efficient, cost-effective, and surprisingly straightforward?

Enter Kivi-Pekka rock pickers – the Finnish-engineered solution that’s been helping farmers worldwide for over 35 years. Built in Rantasalmi, Finland, right in the heart of some of Europe’s stoniest terrain, these machines aren’t just designed on paper. They’re tested daily on granite-filled fields that would break lesser equipment.

Why Kivi-Pekka Stands Out From the Competition

The difference starts with engineering excellence. Every Kivi-Pekka rock picker is expertly manufactured from carefully selected steels and premium components, ensuring durability that pays dividends season after season. Whether you’re clearing fields before sowing, removing stones after harvest, or tackling new land filled with roots and branches, there’s a Kivi-Pekka model designed for your needs.

The lineup ranges from the agile 3.3-meter model, perfect for specialized cultivation with its impressive 900 kg per minute collection rate, to the powerhouse 7-meter variant that clears massive areas efficiently, handling stones up to 50 cm in diameter at 1400 kg per minute. And here’s the best part: the power requirements remain surprisingly modest, with the smallest model requiring just 60 horsepower.

Beyond the Field

While farming is Kivi-Pekka’s primary use, the versatility of these machines extends far beyond agriculture. Contractors use them for road foundation work, golf course maintenance teams rely on them for pristine playing surfaces, and landscaping professionals count on them for land clearance projects. When you invest in a Kivi-Pekka, you’re investing in a machine that can tackle multiple revenue-generating applications.

The Bottom Line: Protecting Your Investment

Stone-free fields mean higher crop yields, no stones blocking your cutting height during harvest or preventing proper field coverage. More importantly, you’ll save significantly on repair costs for your other machinery. Every stone removed is one less potential threat to your expensive combines, seeders, and tillage equipment.

With Kivi-Pekka machines sold and used in over 50 countries, the reliability speaks for itself. Each machine can be customized to your specific needs, ensuring you get exactly the working width and features your operation demands.

In farming, the right equipment isn’t an expense, it’s an investment in efficiency, crop quality, and peace of mind. Kivi-Pekka rock pickers deliver all three.
