Optional extras at additional cost:

Telescopic universal joint shaft (on request)

Spacing 70-75 cm 

Second belt.

- 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.

Vegetable share (on request)

- A specially profiled working element adapted to work in vegetable crops. Thanks to its appropriate shape and sharpness it allows gentle undercutting or lifting of vegetables from the soil without damaging them, which is key to preserving the quality of the harvest.

Detailed description:

• The two-row elevator-type potato digger is an advanced agricultural machine designed for the fast and effective harvesting of potatoes on plantations with row spacings from 625 to 675 mm.
• Mounted on a three-point suspension system (3-point linkage) in cat. II and III, it works with tractors with an output of at least 37 kW (50 HP) and is driven through the PTO shaft, which allows it to operate smoothly and reliably in varied field conditions.
• The machine has two precisely set potato shares which undercut two rows of ridges at the same time, reaching a working depth of 200 mm.
• Digging performance is significantly increased by the presence of side coulters, which effectively cut off excess soil and plant residues, improving the process of separating the tubers from the earth.
• The distance between the coulters is 1300 mm, which allows stable and balanced operation of the entire working assembly.
• The undercut soil together with the crop passes onto two sieving belts which, thanks to their vibrating movement, break up the ridges, allowing the soil to be sifted thoroughly through the gaps in the conveyor.
• Both belts are fitted with a rubber coating on the working bars, which minimises the risk of mechanical damage to the tubers being lifted and ensures they are moved safely towards the rear of the machine.
• Suitably shaped discharge grids have been fitted at the rear of the digger; they direct the cleaned potatoes onto the ridge behind the machine in such a way as to minimise the chance of their being run over by the tractor wheels during subsequent passes.
• This solution greatly improves crop safety and harvesting comfort.
• The design of the unit is based on a solid, reinforced frame, which with a total weight of 800 kg ensures stability during work and durability of the machine in long-term use.
• Drive to the working unit is provided by cast-iron gearboxes joined by flexible couplings, which not only increases the strength of the system but also reduces the transmission of vibration and protects the components against overloading.
• Additional protection and durability of the whole system are guaranteed by the working belt with a rubber sleeve and by the use of rubber dampers in the disc drive, which absorb vibration and overloads.
• The machine is also supplied with a protective tarpaulin that shields the working and conveyor components during standstill and transport.
• The digger can additionally be fitted with a vegetable share, which makes it a universal implement for holdings growing various root crops, including onions, beetroot and carrots.
• Its design means that it performs excellently in various soil types and crop configurations.
• This is a reliable, durable and efficient solution for professional farms looking for an effective and safe method of harvesting potatoes and vegetables.
• Thanks to modern technology and high-quality workmanship, the two-row elevator digger is ideal support in intensive field work.
