This is obviously for shallow seed bed prep (grass, cover crop, etc.). When you're after this level of high grade finish, you're obviously not prepping a corn field. This more for the "plow once" applications... turf, rye or other grassy cover, etc.
A standard duty unit with a potato digger style, and swath rake would be the ideal, sifting eveything to 3 inch minus. Get the big ones out and let the small ones churn through the soil to keep it loose.
NB. rocks are probably not what is meant here. Rocks may shear off the sides of mountains etc. Stones are rocks that have become rounded by alluvial action, typically over thousands of years. Although rocks are unlikely to go into stone-buriers like the Rotadairon in the first place, if they did they likely shatter and/or the sharp edges might cause extra wear inside the drum. To bury stones, the Rotadairon is superb and leaves behind wonderfully fine, friable earth.
What happens if you hit a surface sandstone? I live in Oklahoma, and we have a surface stone that lays under the soil sometimes 3 to 5 inches. Sometimes these rocks are sticks and rocks. Sometimes these rocks are 12 inch rocks. Usually if you had them with a hammer, they snap easily and break. Laying on top of the soil. There are dozens of rocks in the 4 to 6 range scattered everywhere. Do you think the tiller will pulverize most of them?
It sounds like you're looking for a wind-row machine such as the Schulte SRW-800 Rock Windrow. After you create your rows you'll want another machine to scoop them up. For that, I would suggest a Rock bucket for a skidsteer or a loader to sift through the soil and only take the rocks. I realize that burying rocks isn't the best strategy for everyone but it is for some people and I think this video shows a clever solution.
Why would you want to bury the stone? So I can dig it back up once I plow? Then I guess i could bury it again.

Better than a Godzilla rake, too.
Awe man that just what I need…but doing them manually. Just looking for an easier way

What solution would spit out rocks/stones to the side to be collected and thrown out. I don't want to bury rocks/stones.

Turf customers will be cursing your name picking rocks out of their lawns for decades.
What is that implement called and what's the price
RotaDairon. Price depends on the model.

@@waynegalyen6176 RD 145 or 150 is probably your best bet. Just depends on the lift capacity or your power unit. Take a look at the spec sheet above.
