Optional extras at additional cost:

Telescopic universal joint shaft (on request)

- A component of the drive system which makes it possible to transfer torque from the tractor to the agricultural machine while at the same time compensating for changes in the distance between the power take-off (PTO) and the machine. The universal-joint telescopic construction provides flexibility, reliability and safe operation even at large angles and on uneven ground.

Rubber sleeve for the belt (on request)

- A flexible cover made of high-quality rubber, fitted on the rods of the sieving conveyor web. Its main task is to protect the lifted tubers or roots against mechanical damage while they are being carried on the web. The sleeve cushions impacts and minimises friction, which significantly increases the safety of the crop and extends the service life of the web itself. A solution particularly recommended for harvesting delicate root crops such as potatoes, onions or carrots.

Detailed description:

• The single-row elevator-type potato digger from Upus is a solid, compact machine intended for harvesting potatoes and other root crops. Mounted on a three-point linkage (cat. II 3-point linkage), it works with tractors with an output from 18 kW (25 HP) and is driven via the PTO shaft.
• The design of the machine makes it possible to dig one row of ridge 480 mm wide effectively while maintaining a working depth of up to 200 mm. The lifted ridge with the potatoes passes onto a single sieving web, which sifts out the soil through the vibrating movement of the rods. Such an arrangement ensures that the tubers are thoroughly separated from the soil and gently conveyed to the rear of the machine.
• The key working element is the vibrating share, whose position can be adjusted – holes in the side brackets make it possible to change the angle at which the ridge is undercut, depending on the conditions in the field. This allows the user to match the work of the digger precisely to the structure of the soil and to the size of the crop.
• The machine is equipped with road wheels (available in a metal or a rubber version) with depth adjustment, which allows the machine to be guided steadily and the correct working level of the blade to be maintained.
• At the rear of the unit there is a specially profiled discharge grid whose task is to direct the cleaned tubers onto the ridge behind the digger. This solution helps to reduce the risk of them being damaged by the tractor wheels during subsequent passes, which translates into a higher quality of harvest.
• For additional protection of the crop, a belt conveyor with rubber-coated rods can be fitted, which significantly reduces the risk of mechanical damage, particularly when harvesting delicate varieties of potatoes or vegetables.
• The digger with a conveyor weighs 245 kg, which makes it a light and mobile machine, ideal for small and medium-sized farms. Thanks to its simple design, low power requirement and ease of operation and maintenance, it is a reliable solution for harvesting potatoes in a variety of soil conditions.
• The rear discharge and the precise sieving system guarantee a clean harvest and comfortable work, while the solid manufacture and functionality of the machine make it equipment created for intensive, everyday use.
