Key Features & Considerations: AS REPORTED BY THE SELLER

• Hydraulic Drive: The unit utilizes a fully hydraulic drive system which allows for reversible rotor and rake functions to easily clear blockages from the cab.

• Automatic Depth Control: Engineered to follow ground contours actively, maintaining a constant working pressure.

• Hardox Components: The pick-up tines and critical hopper parts are constructed from Hardox steel for wear resistance.

• Field Ready: The seller notes the unit is clean and ready for immediate field service.

Ideal for:

Large-scale grain farmers, custom contractors, or land developers who need to clear significant acreage quickly. Its wide 18-foot reach and high tipping clearance make it highly efficient for picking stones before planting or after harvest and loading them directly into dump trailers.

The ELHO Advantage:

ELHO, based in Finland, is a global leader in stone-picking technology. The Scorpio 550 is famous for its “nothing to break” hydraulic philosophy—by eliminating shear bolts and friction clutches in favor of hydraulic relief valves, the machine protects itself from structural damage when encountering large obstructions.
