![]() Wide rows you say, well wide rows in potatoes give you a higher percentage of those nice long oval baking potatoes. ![]() I run my tractor on 52" tire tread and use 52" rows. This keeps potatoes from rolling under rear tractor tires, also leaves potatoes in nice row for picking up. These shields are in line with and go back inside rear wheels. On the center mount cultivator I use 1/2 inch plywood shields that raise and lower with middle buster. Between side movement of hitch and my steering corrections I sliced a few potatoes. Rear mounted fast hitch was not rigid enough. I use it on the center mount cultivator of my Super A. The item that I have settled on is the middle buster. Ray: I have designed a few of these in my day, don't think I have perfected it yet. Re: Has anyone tried making a home made 1 row potato digger for back of tractor in reply to Ray in Pa., 03-04-2003 20:10:33 So if anyone has any good ideas, photos, or diagrams on making a one row potato digger, I would really like to hear about them. I'm not sure if I should make a simple non mechanical type or whether to try to use my pto somehow for shaking the potatoes to get the dirt off. My main problem is that I need to figure out how to remove some of the dirt (Sometimes its hard dirt due to being too dry from lack of rain at picking time) before the potatoes would fall back onto the ground for hand pickup afterwards. I also want to make a type that would use a wide digger scoop similiar to a wide coal shovel shape for penetrating into the dirt and scooping the potatoes. ![]() I plan on making one and adapting it onto the fast hitch and making it as simple as possible. I was thinking of making one for my tractor but need some idea's for making one. I was wondering if anyone has made a one row potato digger for the back of their tractor.
