Potato harvest memories

[ridger]

A neighbour had one. It was very slow as I recall.

Lowest gear in the gearbox of a 1210 brown, one up from bottom on 996

Neighbour had a ransomes faun with a conveyor down the side of the host 574 International to a bagging platform on the front in the 80's

I had one of those with side elevator and front platform I never used that part of it
fauns were good you could set them so you picked the clods out of potatoes
or potatoes out of clods

Worst part of the Faun is tops not feeding into trough, ours is the Superfaun with the powered inner inclined disc, which helps, but I suspect they would be happier working in 28" rows to reduce soil loading, and tops flailed off.

A neighbour had one. It was very slow as I recall.

But probably alot quicker and easier than what it replaced
