I never would have imagined just how high-tech modern farm equipment can be. This is quite an eye-opener.
It is pretty amazing
That lady is awesome. She evidently knows her stuff very well and when she doesn't she makes sure she reads it right. Not pulls it out of her behind.
Yes she is very knowledgeable. She was a great tour guide.
Those machines are enormous! Bigger than any combine I've ever seen. Wow
Yeah they are pretty huge
Thanks for coming to see us!
Our pleasure!
Great video and info. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Another great video keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for taking us along. I find that very fascinating since none of that equipment we would see Over Here.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Dude, you need to tell the builders to make the machines to be able to make mash potatoes and a steak with gravy at the end of your run at the end of your day!! with a fridge with you like to drink at the end of your run!!!!
That’s not a bad idea
Been cooking on tractors for decades.lol
Great video. As a sheet metal worker it's fascinating how after manufacturing plants work.
It is pretty amazing how it all comes together
The tour , so well organized, clean , well explained by the young lady , stay safe !
It was a great tour
That was a very nice video and explanations. I have seen some of their machines in action near Alamosa, Colorado. Thank you RMF and Spudnick for the tour
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, Thanks! Almost all potato producers around here use Spudnik equipment as well.
Glad you enjoyed it. They make great machines.
Wish I saw this before I went to the ag show today. I visited with a young Spudnik engineer that works on sugar beet equipment. He was here from Germany. I looked allover the minidome but didn't see your new combine.
Yeah, they were not able to get our combine to the ag show. They couldn’t get permits to truck it there and they couldn’t drive it there because the weather was too cold.

Welcome to the channel
Hi wow I have just watched 3 of your videos, one for potato planting, Alfalfa planting and of course this one, keep up the brilliant work as I love farming, and it is brilliant to watch it happen on a huge farm like yours, I wonder if you ever considered having your farm on Farm sim 22, as it would be awesome, so thank you very much, I will be on the look out for more of your brilliant videos, if I lived there I would love to visit, it would make my year
I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. It would be cool to be on farming simulator. I’ll keep making videos for you to enjoy.
Back in the day, In Milford, Utah the farmer planter a lot of potato for seed potato. All the seed was cut by hand.
Yep things have come a long ways
I'd love to see the whole process; from design, through customization and delivery...Even if we only saw like, 5 minutes a week...
Well we did order some new equipment that I will film it getting delivered I don’t think they would let me film them design It.
Great video it’s be since 2019 since we’ve been there a lot of changes
Thanks for watching
Very cool, how many gpm does spud harvester require? Those were some big hyd. lines
I’m not sure, but it’s got to be a lot seeing how the entire machine is run off hydraulics
the maintenance on this thing has to be a nightmare with all the hydraylic lines everywhere
I could definitely see it being a lot of maintenance
I always wondered if the Rube Goldberg designs would ever be used for anything practical!!!!
Cool tour! Thanks for sharing. Awesome equipment. As a Plastics Engineer by degree and a career in manufacturing plants....I can appreciate what was shown!
Thanks for watching. Im glad you enjoyed it.
That was really great. Do you buy or rent these machines?
We do buy them. We just bought all new cellar equipment from Spudnik.
I am late to your channel but are your hats available?
Yes there is a store tab on the channel page
Come on man working on a patatoe farm myself I'm extremely jealous 😤😤😠😠
It was cool to see
Was RDO's name on that big potato harvester?
I don’t think so I’m pretty sure this is still the prototype.
I know spudnik is in the Grimme Group but is it Grimme for the US or is it its own thing just part of the Group. Im from Germany all i see is Grimme so im curious what the difference is if someone knows.
They are independent but they do share some designs. Spudnik is built heavier duty though.
At 4:47 you said "untill now all spinach is harvested bij hand". In 1985 the dutch Ploeger company introduced the first selfpropelled spinach harvester. See this video: th-cam.com/video/MzIFoKSClx4/w-d-xo.html for nowadays spinach harvesters.
That’s what I was told
I think Spudnik is now owned by Grimme
Yes they are
GOD DAMN,first time i heard the name Spudnik and that killed me
Glad you liked it
Is that a mannequin at 14:04? Haha
Haha no just standing very still
Thank you for the video! Really enjoyed it!
@@abe1886 I’m glad you enjoyed it
Is Spudnik part of the Grimme Group?
They are partners
Grimme owns spudnik since 2003
But they still run independently
the belt planter was around in the 70s it thats old technology
It has been greatly updated. That’s like saying cars have been around since the 1800s that’s old technology. But people still get excited about the new updated models.
For the size of that spud harvester, 4 rows is not enough.
I think if it was any wider and it wouldn’t fit down the road
Thanks for your reply.
True but it also depends on how wide the roads are.
Gallenberg out of Antigo Wisconsin made a massive 12 row self propelled digger.
It was roughly 20 feet wide and weighing about 30 tons. It had massive rear wheels to drive it.
I think that it spent some time in Hamer, ID and then went north into Canada but I may be wrong about it going to Id.@@RockyMountainFarmer
Interesting
That’s where the windrower gets its purpose. Dump an extra 8+ rows on the 4 that the harvester picks up.
Yeah they do make an 8 row Windrower. This 4 row self propelled was picking up 24 rows at once. There was 2 6 row Windrowers dumping into an 8 row Windrower that this then picked up.
If you would, please explain how tater machine digs taters without damaging the goods
The points on the front go into the ground underneath the potatoes and gently lift them up onto the belts, and all the belts move together and try not to drop the potatoes very far and get them out of the ground into the trucks and then take them into the cellar. th-cam.com/video/WFBVgZcFAoA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lvUuGsAJ6oLyc6U_ watch this video to see how we harvested potatoes last year?
@@RockyMountainFarmer Thanks. Something mesmerizing about watching machines doing their thing.
It is pretty cool
spudnik means fellow traveler in russian .
Interesting
How many acres of taters would it take to justify owning that self propelled machine?
A lot. I don’t think we will ever get one
Bei Grimme zu arbeiten und selbst Fahrer zu bauen war die schlechteste Entscheidung in meinem Leben
To each his own
Very inefficient manufacturing!!!!
Spot peening also provides a compressive stress layer. You can curve a part by shot peening.
So Dahlman had these with Oliver tractors mounted as the power plant...... In the 60's.....when I was a teen in the seventies we would use them under the worst conditions when other equipment could not go....
Yeah they seem like they would work well.
You have not lived till you have rode the points on a Dahlman pushing the potatos and weeds up the chains to try to keep it from balling up.....real farmers will know what I am talking about...
