Self loading Peat harvesting/Turf cutting machine 

This is a self built peat harvester/Turf cutting machine. It is self loading, as seen in the video, the cleaner removes the top layer of vegetation, where a series of buckets harvest the peat from the bank, loading into a macerator, which mixes the peat and extrudes onto a conveyor at the ear of the machine, this is ejected off the conveyor in lines approx 40ft in length, the process is repeated for the desired distance/run of the bog.
The machine is powered by a Deutz V8 air cooled engine, which powers the hydraulics for the tracks, cleaner,spreader, digger etc.
Video taken in Galway Ireland.
