Kivi-Pekka 5

5 m stone collector — the long-time favourite of the range (Flex Drum as option)

The Kivi-Pekka 5 is the long-time favourite of the range — a 5 m working width stone collector for medium-sized farms. It separates stones 2.5–35 cm in diameter (and with the optional Flex Drum up to Ø 50 cm) thanks to three-stage soil separation. Capacity reaches 1000 kg/min, the hopper holds 3 m³, and hydraulic unloading works up to a height of 2.9 m. Moderate power requirements — from 80 hp — mean working with a mid-range tractor.

How Kivi-Pekka separates stones from soil

Kivi-Pekka harvesters rely on three-stage soil separation and the optional Flex Drum (standard on model 7).

01
How the mechanism works

Three-stage soil separation

The machine lifts the topsoil and separates stones from earth in three stages. (1) Stones pass onto a screen placed beneath the lifting drum; (2) they go into the hopper, while the sifted soil returns to the field; (3) the remaining soil is collected by a separate container behind the rear wall of the hopper and released at the moment of unloading. As a result, only stones end up in the hopper, and the valuable topsoil stays in the field.

02
Design decisions

Flex Drum — flexible drum for large stones

The lifting drum's drive runs along its frame, so the entire drum can move upwards. A hydraulic pressure accumulator allows the Flex Drum to “pass over” large stones instead of becoming blocked by them, while the suspension protects the screen and tines. The standard range of 2.5–35 cm extends to Ø 50 cm. The drum can also be raised from the cab to release a jammed stone, without leaving the tractor. The Flex Drum is available on models 5 and 6 (optional) and comes as standard on model 7.

03
Operation in practice

Tank capacity and discharge height

A larger tank means fewer stops for emptying. Model 5 has 3 m³ and a capacity of up to 1000 kg/min; model 7 has 5 m³ and up to 1400 kg/min. On models 4–7, the hydraulic discharge reaches 2.9 m, so stones go directly into a trailer with sides up to 2700 mm or into a lorry, without being unloaded onto the ground first.

04
Optional automation

ISOBUS package — ultrasonic sensor and rotor protection

The ISOBUS version measures the working depth with an ultrasonic sensor and maintains it automatically. In the event of a jam, the machine relieves the rotors by itself and raises the Flex Drum, then returns to work once the blockage clears. At the headland, a single button is enough: the automation lifts the machine and stops distribution. The package is available only in versions with the Flex Drum.

05
Typical customer

Glacial soils

Farms on glacial soils, where stones “come up” out of the ground after every winter and damage seed drills, combines and tyres. Model 3.3 is for narrow specialist crops and landscape management (tractor from 60 hp), model 4 is an economical entry point (from 70 hp), model 5 suits medium-sized areas (from 80 hp), and model 7 is for large areas and contract services (from 100 hp).

Comparison

Kivi-Pekka 5 vs Kivi-Pekka 7

Two stone collectors from the same three-stage soil separation — they differ in working width, hopper capacity and standard drum equipment.

Answers based on the experience of thousands of farms in Europe.

An engineer answers

Yes, the ISOBUS automation package is available as an option in Flex Drum versions only. Without Flex Drum, ISOBUS is not available.

An engineer answers

5 m; capacity up to 1000 kg/min. According to the EN 2025 brochure, it is the range’s “long-time favourite”, proven in demanding conditions.

An engineer answers

From 80 hp, hydraulic flow 20 l/min, PTO, three-point linkage. Machine weight 5300 kg.

An engineer answers

As standard Ø up to 35 cm. With the optional Flex Drum, up to Ø 50 cm; the drum has a hydraulic pressure accumulator and “rides over” large stones instead of getting blocked by them.
