The tractor used to operate the Rock Picker must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the
hydraulic motor at the Rock Picker’s rated speed while traveling at a ground speed between 2 and 5 MPH.

3.3 Tractor Horsepower
The horsepower required to operate the implement depends on several operating factors including terrain
condition, operator experience, condition of the implement and tractor, and other factors. The recommended
tractor HP for the Titan 5000 Rock Picker is 125 (93 kW). Operating the implement with a larger tractor will
greatly increase the risk of damaging the implement.
3.1 ROPS and Seat Belt
The tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and seat
belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be
crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened.
Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an
authorized dealer.
OPS-U- 0003
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear a seat belt. Death or serious
injury can result from falling off the tractor and/or becoming pinned or trapped
under the tractor or implement particularly during a rollover accident.
(SG-7)
3.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor
warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO
with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.
