SuperFaun Potato Harvester

[Jinty Mcginty]

Looking for brackets/Frame for the side loading conveyor.
Currently have a frame bolted on front of tractor for a Ton box to sit on. Hoping to use a tractor with pallet toes with side conveyor attached. Have seen video clips of a similar set up that had a pivoting bracket with a linear actuator presumably to move the conveyor from side to side filling the box.
Have also seen guys using front mounted forklifts but want to be able to utilise the loader tractor which also means it would be quite quick to take of and on.
Does anyone have any brackets for sale or even pictures that I could make something up.
Finally has anyone ever used a similar set up is there any pitfalls ?
Is it possible then to lift rig high enough to set the ton box on a trailer ?
The harvester I have for the main crop is a tad rough on earlies esp running over dalmans even with them full down

Not good photos but is this what you mean?

The platform is long gone I think.

Where are you at

I think I still have some parts but if your used with a trailed harvester you wont work with that thing. They are very hard on potatoes when the tops jam on the side of the web and the potatoes have to come up past the blockage

Its getting the elevator out of the way to lift the box that was the problem. A 1600 was a much better harvester than a 1700

Hi Ridger
Have used a lot of different machines over the years. I got the superfaun years ago but have been using a DL1500 for the last few years but the dalmans are pretty savage. I only ever used the faun for green top lifting first earlies and ran a topper through first.I bolted a bit of ply between the first web and the frame which seemed to help a bit with blockages.When we had the box on a frame I just lifted the end piece of the elevator to get the box out. Just thought it might be simpler to use a front loader and pallet forks with the elevator attached but it will throw the weight farther forward.

Hi
Is that parts for bolting straight on the front of the tractor ?
was really looking for bits that would fit on the side of a loader

Yes they are. I wasn't completely sure what you were looking for.
