How To Harvest Potatoes 

For more helpful information and advice, join our Everything Attachments Channel Facebook group, where the topic is always on tractors and attachments!! facebook.com/groups/EverythingAttachmentsLounge/

Reading some of the comments their is a group of people that forgot it is for charity. I admire the hard work👍

I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us

Nate is a natural. Get him in the field more! I learned everything I needed to run that bad boy if I owned one.

Thank You for the fast reply. I will have to check the depth.

Well; I was asking you to build a potato digger and you went above and beyond with the ultimate machine.

A conveyer at the back of where they’re dropping would help a lot and a trailer hitch to pull a trailer that they dump into

This video made me home sick for some skillet fried potatoes with chopped onions in it. Nice attachment!

EverythingAttachment I'm from Cleveland county I live in Belwood and my grandpa is the head of the Southern Baptist Association and they help with the potato project! I have worked out there and the potato digger makes it a lot easier!! Thanks

Good work guys , it is a bit wet though looking at the dirt sticking to the tyres .Would do alot better job if it was a touch more dry.

Still is back breaking work.. Back of machine there must a big Sieve which can remove dirt and leave potatoes in the tray.

Just picked mine up from Everything Attachments, looking forward to less back breaking work and more potato harvest, will follow up with how it does this harvest. I am using a Bx tractor to pull it.

I'm might just have to get one for my church's potato project.

Without a doubt it's better than a shovel or pitchfork, but I see some coming out the sides

I’m disabled been looking at one of these for a couple or three yrs. I’m thankful for having a wife that will get out there and hand plants these potatoes every year. I’m on a set income and she is to as well… she is a allergic to a lot of chemicals from store food… we went to school together and her family raise her on garden food and me as well I’m proud to say and thankful for my parents learn myself and her parents learning her as well… I wish I’d got one of these yrs ago but thought they might go down in price a little but never did…. But in are 60’s now will just keep doing it the same way as always, the weather is are factor, it just takes more days to get them out of the field… God Bless everyone I think everyone shoul have one if u plant potatoes every year👍❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I've heard the rear discharge types will damage new potatoes and they are better suited for cured potatoes. Would you agree with this?

Thank you for the information.

Any chance you can get the version for walk behind tractors(bcs/grillo)?

Nice digger, make the shaker forks a bit longer and add side elevator to load crates. I do believe ya'll can come up that idea on paper and build it, when you do I'd like to see it on video. Thanks for the video show and info.

Good video

a bit overall bigger dimensions, but looks pretty good

Here, in this machine the pto rpm is 540 and so lot of vibration is generate and some time the soil separating have so much reciprocating stroke that it strike below the digging blade and producing noise. So how much reciprocating stroke should be there that it does not strike the digging below. and also the rpm of tractor is changing during the operation depending on the accelerating speed of the tractor. in what gear it should be optimum.

could this machine be used to harvest yam ? they seem similir to harvest !

how much does this attachment cost?

is that running at 540rpm or less? it sounds like it is running almost at idle.

Very cool design! Perfect for market/hobby farms. Just need to make a spud loader now. I bet it works tons more efficiently in loam, sandy loams, & sandy soils. For $3+K, that's not a bad value. Are these available out west?

Nice size potatoes... What Varietiey potato are these?

very nice

How much does a machine like this cost? Very interested!

If the rear lower tines of the basket were extended another foot or two you could have low riding Y bar trailer hooked up to the back to collect the potato's eliminating all manual work. I'm a geek, not a farmer, so I see things differently; I may be entirely wrong, but there's a good probability that I'm right. Why isn't this done?

I have no clue how I got here but I did

Its no longer available according to their web page (link)

Kicking potatoes out the side and covering, potatoes are rough shape coming out.

make the people come and pick their own potatoes.

Where to buy one?

Этой копалкой в заднице ковырять гавно!!!

do you have a garden rock picker to pick rocks from 2 inch up to a bread loaf

Why dont connect a carrier which collects all the potato at the end?

You mentioned running at 540 RPM. I seem to get my best results running at about 400 RPM with my Spedo. Could be a difference of soil types.

Thank You for the great video and information. Could you tell me the maximum depth the potato digger will dig? I am thinking about planting a lot of Yamy . A larger root then potato. About 4 to 5 times larger then the potatoes in this video. I'm in Central America (Panama) Again The spacing would be around one meter.Thank You

Good work, but the design needs improvement; more rows and auto load in the box. You can add small engine, if the improvement needs additional power .

if you use rock picking machine you can pickup easily all potatoes from the ground you won't need so many people to work picking the potatoes from ground. just search "rock picking" you will see what I am saying. it is possible to make a copy of rock picker for your field.

I would hope that the volunteers you have picking potatoes are the recipients of those potatoes, but I doubt it. They probably come to the church a get a nice box of clean potatoes without ever having lifted a finger for them. I'm not a church going man, but I have been, and I believe it was taught to teach a man to fish for he will be better of than giving him that fish.

Great to see the support for your community. Around 5:30 to 6 minutes I saw just as many taters coming off the side and getting buried by the tires as came off the back. I sure hope someone raked em out and they didn't go to waste. That digger needs sides.

Is there a way to set up a collector behind it? Maybe the shaker throws the potatoes onto a conveyor?

Hi... I m from India. I want this machine. How to I purchase that machine

Looks like quite a few are escaping off the side of the machine.

I would drag a net behind it to catch the potatoes..

I saw some potato rolling down the hill and the wheel steps on it or covered with a dirt. It would have been miissed by the pickers to waste. Gud job though. God bless you guys for your project.

That is a poor potato harvest! Here in Kosovo we get potatoes that grow as big as your head literally!

Would be perfect for a homesteader , truck farmer or someone like me that grew a bunch for family friends etc it's the bending over and picking up that has stopped me lately.. It would be perfect If it had a conveyor and small hopper to pull behind or a conveyor to carry over to next row and dump in a hopper pulled by same tractor or into a side by side or small truck.

I believe the width is only 19" wide. I would like to see a 24" wide at the front.

So, how about those potatoes that are falling to the side in front of the digger's wheels and then get squashed into the ground? It worked somewhat better when you were digging less dirt.

those people in the background bent over picking potatos!! Back breaking work.

Hey would you export this Africa. I'm in dire need of this.

Nice commitment to the local community!

Will this device pick peanuts too??

Why didn't you finish it? Not even gonna' say what's so obvious, and wouldn't have involved much cost, nor engineering, it's unbelievable a company would go through all this to make an otherwise good machine and then sell it as a machine that throws your crop back on the ground - as if that's handy? The fact, _that your own video shows many of them being reburied and even ran over by the supposed_ *_"solution"_* is astonishing? Poor sales ideology on top of unfinished product? *potatoes are delicate at this stage,* Nice idea, but you need someone with apparently - *uncommon* sense making decisions . . . that is, if you want your company to go anywhere. . . .

cool..

I like his vid

Why are these no longer available?

will that thing do garlic?

How do I get this in South Africa

Too much talking and not enough showing.

I have back trouble, do You make one that load the potatoes on a truck or trailer?

tento zlepšovák som už prezentoval v r.2012 !!! Ten pán by sa mal aspoň poďakovať, že mal z čoho okopírovať !!!

Great job by the IT guy! Awesome, you are lucky to have such great employee's - get it!

do you think this would work for Turmeric? I just check website for price. Really 3k? It just doesn't seem like that much of a machine to cost that much. I was thinking maybe 1/2 that.

Great video.

Few more tweaks and I'd buy one for around 400 bucks but I'm guessing u'll want an insane price so I'll just have to build my own

ahí están mis paisanos quebrándose la cintura!

donde se puede comprar esta maquina de arrancar patatas

Very cool machine ✔️

will a JD 1025r be able to use this .. ????

Great cause, excellent job, wonderful machine

Excellent demonstration.

That’s a wonderful thing what you guys you’re doing there

is this machine may work for turmeric digging and at what depth it works

I wonder what size/make/model tractor was used?

very nice small farm tool.

That machine is really simple and uncomplicated. Who ever designed it was a genius. It seems easy and simple to maintain and inexpensive to use. They need a machine to scoop up the loose spuds and and load them into boxes.

Great video!

how much for this machine

how much does it cost

Will this work on sweet potatoes?

that Thing only works at Little fields and with much People

Great design

Hi. Can I to know the altitude of the place in the video?

Awesome machine

very nice tool works like a champ

jesus that pto is at a dodgy angle

Excellent demo.

Were can get one of these potato harvest?

Would be nice if a trailer was behind the digger with some type of belt system to load the potatoes into the trailer

Could this be used to dig up trunips ?

All talk,no dig..me: no like..

What is the smallest tractor one could use to pull this machine in loamy soil ?

Boy that is slick, Thank You.

Great value

Well done!!
