As you stated, Pat, those potatoes 🥔 look really good with the lack of rain ya'll had. My parent's live in Northern PA, and I know they are in a drought and need rain pretty bad!! Great video! 👍

Thanks John, it was good to see this as dry as we’ve been.

You're inspiring me. I plant and harvest potatoes by hand and I'm getting tired of it. Looks like using my tractor to do the work is the way to go, and the middlebuster is a lot cheaper than getting a dedicated potato harvester. Do you get much damage to the potatoes from the middlebuster?

@ElkCreekAcres Жыл бұрын

Thanks, we’ve looked at regular dedicated potato harvesting equipment, but this works. Generally I’m easily able to get underneath the potatoes, but occasionally I will slice one, but not very often.

Is your flag in the cab upside down? Great looking potatoes.

Which one, the one hanging is just a bag for my sunglasses?

Forgive my question, but I know nothing…so, the subsoiler breaks up the ground and the potatoes fall into the trench. That is really cool, by the way! Are you using the subsoiler in between rows for that to happen? How do you gather all the potatoes afterwards?

@ElkCreekAcres Жыл бұрын

This is a middle buster, it’s made for making furrows, but we’ve found it’s quite useful for plowing up the potatoes. It has a wide V plow as opposed to just a narrow shank like the subsoiler has.

@@ElkCreekAcres ahhh, I was wondering how it made such a nice furrow! Now I get it 👍
