“Our new UTV-mounted Rock Hawk and Steel Replacement Box makes rock picking an easier job and prevents damage to the UTV’s original box,” says Tyler Wenner, Ag Storm Equipment, LLC, St. Peter, Minn.
    The UTV Rock Box and Rock Hawk is designed to fit all Polaris Rangers and most Deere Gators. It works much like the company’s front-mount Rock Hawk rock picker for tractors, which is designed to pick up rocks in the field and then swing them over into a rock box on front of your tractor (Vol. 38, No. 5). The steel replacement box bolts on using the same mounting brackets.
    The Rock Hawk consists of a self-tightening, 3-claw grapple assembly on the end of a cable, and is operated by a winch that runs off the UTV’s battery. The winch is controlled by a 2-way switch mounted near the mast.
    “It lets you use your UTV to pick up rocks, without doing any damage to the vehicle,” says Wenner. “Many UTV’s come with plastic boxes that can be easily damaged by rocks thrown into them. One customer who traded in his Gator every year had to take a $1,000 discount every time because the box was destroyed by rocks.”
    “The winch is rated at 3,100 lbs. so the Rock Claw can handle really big rocks,” says Wenner.
    The box comes with a tailgate that can be angled down and locked at a 25 degree angle. “The problem with a factory UTV box is that the weight of rocks pushing on the tailgate may keep you from being able to open it. By setting the tailgate down at a 25 degree angle the rocks won’t come out, yet you can still dump them,” says Wenner.
    If you don’t want to spend the money for a Rock Hawk, the company offers a metal rock liner that sets inside the UTV’s cargo box to serve as a protective shell.
    The UTV box and Rock Hawk combo sells for $3,500. The box only sells for $1,950. A metal box liner only that fits all Polaris Rangers and most Deere Gators sells for $995.
