During the harvest season, many summer residents need a reliable, and, most importantly, hardworking assistant. But it is not necessary to involve workers for this. Today, special harvesters are used for harvesting, which can cope with all the work in a matter of hours. However, on a small plot of 5-10 acres, this technique is too cumbersome. To dig up root crops on small lands, walk-behind tractors with attachments are used, such as a potato digger or a blade for the Neva walk-behind tractor.
The attachments for the Neva, Salyut and Cascade walk-behind tractor will perfectly cope with the collection of potatoes and other crops. Such attachments for equipment make the life of farmers much easier. With their help, the crop is harvested without much time and labor.
Types of potato diggers
Principle of operation potato digger for walk-behind tractor Neva and other devices are the same. Large tines, when immersed in the soil, pick up the roots and pull them up, allowing them to be collected from the surface of the earth. There are two types of devices:
- Simple... The design resembles an ordinary shovel with two curves and teeth located on top. The pointed part of the device plunges into the soil, lifting it along with the tubers. Excess soil falls through the cracks, and the tubers remain outside. Simple potato diggers are available for light and heavy soils.
- Vibrating... Screening devices are equipped with a share and a screening grid. Lattice grids are located on wheels. During the operation of the potato digger, the ploughshare cuts into the ground and, together with the tubers, is fed to the grate. Already on it, the entire mass is sifted, leaving only root crops on top. Tubers that have not fallen onto the grate remain on the ground, from where they can simply be picked by hand.
Most of the potato diggers have the same design, only the manufacturer is different. Almost all devices are compatible with the Neva (including the Neva mb 2 walk-behind tractor), Salyut, Centaur and other walk-behind tractors. In general, the design allows you to dig out the crop very quickly. With its help, not only time is saved, but also energy.
