23106 ROCK - EZE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Special Note: When reference is made as to front, rear, right hand or left hand of this machine, the
reference is always made from standing at the rear end of the machine and looking towards the hitch.
Always use serial number and model number when referring to parts or problems. Please obtain your
serial number and write it below for your future reference.
MODEL: 3106 ROCK-EZE SERIAL NO. ________________________
This 3106 ROCK-EZE combination windrower and rock picker is designed to windrow elds while picking rocks with
diameters from 2 to 15 inches.
Purpose
The purpose of this owner’s manual is to explain maintenance requirements and routine adjustments for the most
efcient operation of your 3106 ROCK-EZE. There is also a trouble shooting section that may help in case of problems
in the eld. Any information not covered in this manual may be obtained from your dealer.

3106 ROCK - EZE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Tractor used to power your rockpicker should have an adequate hydraulic system. A minimum of 12
G.P.M., and 1500 P.S.I. is required at the outlets where hoses from rockpicker are plugged into tractor.
If the hydraulic system is not adequate, system will heat causing rotors to slow down and possibly stop.
Some older tractors do not have coolers in their hydraulic system. Some have small oil reserves. Either
case will allow uid to heat rapidly.
When rotors operate properly, the rock box will ll nearly level from side to side. If box lls only on
the side nearest the kicker rotor, R.P.M. should be checked with tachometer at rear of kicker rotor. Rotor
should turn a minimum of 500 R.P.M. Any less will allow rocks to wedge in kicker rotor.
In cases when specications are adequate, but rotors tend to operate too slow, tractors hydraulic
system should be checked for G.P.M. and P.S.I., as systems tend to wear and not meet manufacturers
specications.
2. Conditions of terrain to be picked are important. Soil should be loose and free of trash. Terrain with ridges
does not allow windrower to gather small stones.
This machine was not designed to dig rocks. In most cases, windrower rotor should be allowed to skim
approximately 1” of loose topsoil.
Trash gathered in rock wheel does not allow small rocks to tumble free and the dirt to fall through bars.

10 3106 ROCK - EZE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before performing any maintenance or adjustments make sure machine is NOT running.
If for any reason arc welding is to be done, always ground rotor to frame of machine to prevent arcing
on bearings.
• Before working on or near 3106 ROCK-EZE for any reason, including servicing, inspecting or
unclogging machine: follow shutdown procedure, section 3.2
• If any service work is to be done on the 3106 ROCK-EZE while in the raised position, be sure to install
hold up lock on cylinders or use a safety chain between movable frame and main frame to prevent
dropping in case of hydraulic failure.
• Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the lines or performing other work on
the system (bucket must be down). Make sure all connections are tight and the hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the systems.
CAUTION: Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can be invisible and have enough force to
penetrate the skin. When searching for a suspected leak, use a piece of wood or cardboard rather than
your hands. If injured, seek medical attention immediately to prevent serious infection or reaction.
• When replacing any part on your 3106 ROCK-EZE, be sure to use only DuraTech Industries authorized
parts.
1.5 Towing/road transport
• Use good judgment and drive slowly over rough or uneven terrain.
• Be sure tractor brakes are properly adjusted and foot pedals are locked together.
• The towing vehicle must be of equal or of greater weight that the 3106 ROCK-EZE and any load in
hopper to assure adequate braking and steering control.
• Check your state laws regarding the use of lights, slow moving vehicle signs, safety chain and other
possible requirements.
WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE PRECEDING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS OR THOSE THAT FOLLOW WITHIN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
IMPORTANT: THIS ROCK-EZE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER
THAN THAT FOR WHICH IT’S INTENDED, AS EXPLAINED IN THE OPERATOR’S
MANUAL, ADVERTISING MATERIALS, AND OTHER PERTINENT WRITTEN
MATERIAL PREPARED BY DURATECH INDUSTRIES.

3106 ROCK - EZE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Section 2: Dealer preparation
STEP 1.
Begin assembly with machine on rm, level ground.
All assembly and adjustments must be done with a drawbar height of 16 inches (plus or minus 1 inch) from ground
level to top of drawbar. Hook machine to tractor towbar. Remove Windrower and Windrower carrier arm from
shipping brackets, and discard brackets. Remove wheel assemblies and parts container from inside of rockbox. Place
the rockwheel frame transport pins in in the storage position.
STEP 2.
Attach hoses to the proper hydraulic outlets on tractor (illustrations 3.1 and 3.2 on pages 21 and 22). Cycle hydraulic
cylinders to charge hoses. Remove shipping brackets from between mainframe and rock wheel frame, and discard.
Raise the mainframe, and bolt the 11Lx16 wheel assembly in place using (4) 5/8x2” bolts, lock washer, and nuts. For
easy assembly of the Windrower, raise rock box to full height, and place safety blocks (provided with the machine) on
the rock box cylinders.
Machines are shipped with the Windrower assembly removed. Main frame and rock wheel frame are secured by bolts
and clamps. Two transport pins have been provided in upright rock wheel frame guides. Lock pins may be used to keep
wheel in raised position for extended periods of time, or in case of hydraulic failure when transporting long distances.
Be sure to remove any pins from transport position to prevent damage to machine while testing hydraulic controls.
2.1 ASSEMBLY
Assemble Windrower, bearing, cotter pin, etc. as shown in illustration 1. Slide end of Windrower with bearing
attached under machine, and towards the rock wheel. Disconnect hose (A) as shown in illustration 1, at zerk tting.
Tighten elbows (B), as shown in illustration 2. Connect hose to elbow, slide Windrower and bearing assembly into
carrier bracket (D). Mount to bracket by using (2) 1/2x2” bolts, at washer, and lock nuts. Reconnect hose (A) to zerk
tting. Bolt bearing shield (E) in place using 3/8x1” bolt, at washer, and lock nut.
ADJUSTMENTS - Linkage (H) adjusts the working height at the inner end of the Windrower. This machine was not
designed to dig rocks; in most cases Windrower should be allowed to skim approximately 1” of loose topsoil. To adjust
the clearance between rock wheel and carrier bracket plate (G), turn nuts (F) in or out as necessary - the rock wheel
must turn without contacting plate.
STEP 3.
