Vermeer makes a rock picker & I suspect others do too. You may be able to find
someone who has one who you could hire. Their pretty expensive. A neighbor had
one & it worked quite well.

I have about 1/4 acre of land to take care of. 2/3 is mowable green stuff, 1/3
is rocks. Rather than give $4500 to a landscaper to remove the rocks and plant
grass I figured I could buy a machine and DIY it and come out with something
nicer.
I need to rake the rocks out of the subsoil that was replaced when I had the
sewer pipe put in. This is New England so there are a lot of rocks but none
bigger than my head.
I need to spread topsoil or manure over that area.
I need to dig a few 8" x 48" holes for deck expansion footings.
I need to mow the grass.
Is there a machine that will do all this? I can find a riding mower, or a big
PTO tractor, but it seems I need something in the middle. Riding mower with
rake and then just rent the hole auger? Does such a machine exist?
thanks,
jim
