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👍❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Reading some of the comments their is a group of people that forgot it is for charity. I admire the hard work👍
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
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
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.
how'd it do?
Nate is a natural. Get him in the field more! I learned everything I needed to run that bad boy if I owned one.
Nice commitment to the local community!
Thank You for the fast reply. I will have to check the depth.
That’s a wonderful thing what you guys you’re doing there
Great job by the IT guy! Awesome, you are lucky to have such great employee's - get it!
Excellent demonstration.
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.
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
Excellent demo.
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.
Correct! I built my own that is much more heavy duty (only because that was the left over steel I had in the bone yard). My plow shear bucket is wider in the front and 12 inch taper on back. My plow wheels are raised and spread out to ride on top adjacent hill or adjustable in height so either can ride lower in a previous plowed row. My wheel height is adjustable on the fly as needed per aplication by 12 volt linear actuators. My control box has a stong magnetic back so I can slap it on the tractor fender.
Great cause, excellent job, wonderful machine
Thank you for the information.
very nice tool works like a champ
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?
Great video.
Boy that is slick, Thank You.
I'm might just have to get one for my church's potato project.
Great video!
Well done!!
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.
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.
Awesome machine
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.
very nice
Any chance you can get the version for walk behind tractors(bcs/grillo)?
Great value
Great design
This video made me home sick for some skillet fried potatoes with chopped onions in it. Nice attachment!
Very cool machine ✔️
very nice small farm tool.
ahí están mis paisanos quebrándose la cintura!
I've heard the rear discharge types will damage new potatoes and they are better suited for cured potatoes. Would you agree with this?
is this machine may work for turmeric digging and at what depth it works
do you have a garden rock picker to pick rocks from 2 inch up to a bread loaf
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.
Good video
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
The deepest this attachment will be able to go is around 1 foot, however it is designed for raised hills, rather than digging in to flat ground. I hope this helps.
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.
a bit overall bigger dimensions, but looks pretty good
Still is back breaking work.. Back of machine there must a big Sieve which can remove dirt and leave potatoes in the tray.
I have back trouble, do You make one that load the potatoes on a truck or trailer?
Nice size potatoes... What Varietiey potato are these?
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.
like a human?
+tea isstronger NO, they just need to finish making the product, and make it do what they claim. . .
Is there a way to set up a collector behind it? Maybe the shaker throws the potatoes onto a conveyor?
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.
Well; I was asking you to build a potato digger and you went above and beyond with the ultimate machine.
could this machine be used to harvest yam ? they seem similir to harvest !
Without a doubt it's better than a shovel or pitchfork, but I see some coming out the sides
People have been loving it. It has been 7 years since this video was made, and it seems like we sell out of them every year!
@@EverythingAttachments I see why, I wish I had one that could hook to my old troybuilt horse tiller....lol
I wonder what size/make/model tractor was used?
donde se puede comprar esta maquina de arrancar patatas
is that running at 540rpm or less? it sounds like it is running almost at idle.
Will this device pick peanuts too??
I like his vid
Hey would you export this Africa. I'm in dire need of this.
Kicking potatoes out the side and covering, potatoes are rough shape coming out.
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 .
Old 1 row diggers worked better, using a chain to lay spuds on top
Its no longer available according to their web page (link)
I believe the width is only 19" wide. I would like to see a 24" wide at the front.
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?
that not works as you have than all the dirt on the Trailer but there are machines wich collect them
I would say..cost. My guess is this attachment is not for mass production. The cost need to be kept within range of non profit organizations and weekend farmers
@@kevinjasper6620 Little machines who collect them or used ones are cheaper than that Thing in the video
will a JD 1025r be able to use this .. ????
Yes sir, without a doubt!
Why dont connect a carrier which collects all the potato at the end?
+Mayo Mayo I was thinking the same. shaker loader
+Mayo Mayo part of the *_sales pitch_* is, see how we dig potatoes, run over 20 percent of them with the machine, re-bury 10 percent of them, and claim - *_as it's doing it on that video_* that it doesn't do it? You know, sort of like, telling people how you're so incredibly smart, as you strike the top of your head with a hammer, repeatedly.
+Jasper Williams collections conveyors & hopper trailers would 10x the value, not worth it to the small farmers like *Me. So feel free to use your HAMMER there Mr!
Could you pull a piece of chain link fence to collect? th-cam.com/video/qNdSL7o16-c/w-d-xo.html
@@patmanhoward5681 That might be practical for short rows.
cool..
What is the smallest tractor one could use to pull this machine in loamy soil ?
Pretty much any little subcompact with 4x4 20 to 25 hp
How much does a machine like this cost? Very interested!
Check out price and more videos here: www.everythingattachments.com/Potato-Digger-p/spedo-cpp-t.htm
Why are these no longer available?
I would drag a net behind it to catch the potatoes..
I have no clue how I got here but I did
Could this be used to dig up trunips ?
It should work for turnips as long as they're on a raised bed similar to the potatoes in the video.
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.
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.
+TheArtoftheheart See that thing jiggling up and down the rows? If it's built to handle that, it's worth it. However, it needs a few hundred dollars worth CORRECTIONS in functioning before it'd be worth buying.
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.
will that thing do garlic?
I’m pretty sure we’ve sold some for garlic growers, but haven’t received any feedback about the results. If the garlic is in a raised bed like the potatoes in the videos, it should work. Feel free to give us a call.
@@EverythingAttachments, have you received any feedback on harvesting garlic after this much time?
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
Just a little more $3,030.00. You may as well just get 2 lol.
Hi. Can I to know the altitude of the place in the video?
Thanks for watching! 869 feet.
those people in the background bent over picking potatos!! Back breaking work.
Would be nice if a trailer was behind the digger with some type of belt system to load the potatoes into the trailer
Were can get one of these potato harvest?
There is a link in the description to our website where you can have one shipped to you. Thanks for watching!
Looks like quite a few are escaping off the side of the machine.
Where to buy one?
Find it here on our website www.everythingattachments.com/Potato-Digger-p/spedo-cpp-t.htm
Hi... I m from India. I want this machine. How to I purchase that machine
Probably best if you contact the manufacturer directly. Link spedo.it/
Will this work on sweet potatoes?
We do not have any true evidence/feedback that recommends it for sweet potatoes, but if they're in a raised bed, with similar conditions to what is shown in the video, it should work just fine.
How do I get this in South Africa
Contact Travis@EverythingAttachments.com for shipping options!
how much for this machine
+Duch Navy Current price is $3,030. That includes shipping within 1,000 miles of Newton NC
how much does it cost
$3000 , click on the link in the description, takes you to their page, gives you all the info
that Thing only works at Little fields and with much People
It sure beats hand tools, though!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@EverythingAttachments yes but that is only for a maximum of 1000squaremeter makeable and used big potatoharvester wich are 40 years old are better and Costs less and before you say that they are completly down i say you that for a few tousend squaremeter a year that is enoguh
jesus that pto is at a dodgy angle
make the people come and pick their own potatoes.
tento zlepšovák som už prezentoval v r.2012 !!! Ten pán by sa mal aspoň poďakovať, že mal z čoho okopírovať !!!
Ты хоть сам понял, что прожевал?
👍👊🙏😁❤㊗👏👏👏
Enough just run the video
yyy
Hey, FYI, the unemployment issue is solved using a cooperative and democratized business model and not capitalist industrial models. The entire spectrum of Economic inequality is proven to be fostered and engendered by the absolutism of top-down hierarchical systems of authority. America prides itself in being a democracy but seems to stop short at the workplace. It prides itself in self-determination yet allows the use of money instead of democracy to dictate business practices. The American working class which this country is built on is in a straight jacket and has little hope of getting "free" until there are public debates regarding the science and ethics behind the current system. If you would like to learn more and can leave aside long standing social and psychological conditioning, listen to the logic and reasoning of economist Richard Wolff and systems analyst Peter Joseph. Our world is changing fast and if you want to discover where things are headed and can understand science and common sense, do yourself and your family a favor.
It is soil, not dirt. Take that soil in put it on the floor of your home, now it is dirt. Just a lesson from Penn State Agriculture.
rljrl what turns it into dirt if nothing in its changed just it's location
As a freshman at U of Idaho, years ago, one would literally flunk SOILS 51 by calling it dirt 51. Among other things soil grows things. Dirt doesn't.
@@byronfitch6444, GO VANDALS! And yes, first on the floor, soil is for growing food! And that's from my County Extension Agent father!
What does Penn State know about potatoes? IDAHO knows potatoes! Better known as spuds!
@@MrRepid What changes is microbiology. Soil has the microbes that feed the plants. Dirt does not ;)
