Digging Potatoes near Burley Idaho | Potato Harvest 2024

Digging Potatoes near Burley Idaho | Potato Harvest 2024
In this video I am out in a potato field south of Burley Idaho with a farm that is Digging (harvesting) potatoes. In the video they are running their Fendt 930 tractor pulling a Lockwood potato windrower that is digging up several rows of potatoes and conveying them over into rows that will be picked up by the farms Spudnik potato harvester. They are running their Fendt 939 Tractor pulling a Spudnik 6640 potato harvester that is digging up the potatoes and conveying them into the trucks.
These potatoes were being hauled over to some potato cellars (storage barns) nearby where they are graded and stored until they are shipped to market.

Reminds me of my childhood as a 9-year-old. 1 row potato harvester, 0,3 mile/hour, 8 acres, 3 weeks work. My parents and some aunts and uncles were standing on the harvester to pick out stones, clods and rotten potatoes. From time to time, a lot of cut potatoes had to be sorted out. My father then recognized, that I left the row because I was sleeping. He threw some clods to wake me up. Not my best reminds.

This was such an informative and well-done video! Loved seeing the windrower and harvester in action - it’s fascinating how the whole operation works from field to storage. Can’t wait for more videos like this!

[@chrisgossman6512]

Fascinating, thanks, Mike. I like 👍 Mike. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@michaelshuman3319]

Sure are lot'sa small taters being sorted out and back on the ground . Do they pick them too ? Or left to rot in the field ? It is fascinating equipment , especially the wide set front end on the tractor . Thanks for your videos .

[@popswrench2]

closest i ever got to tater harvester , working on 1855 olivers , chapman farms , off route 5 i think littlefalls to herkimer region but that was WAAAAAAAAAAY BACK , when 1855 was a common mainline tractor , 1985 maybe . harvesters were nearly tractor mounted

[@clintmeyer8029]

Hello Mike I was wondering if one day you would like to come to Mountain Home Idaho for a farm equipment tour

[@LeeStevens-e1j]

Hi Mike, there's a lot of clumps of soil going into the trucks - i imagined they'd be cleaner by that point?

[@zachsmith98]

I’ve seen other potato harvest videos and it’s pretty common for rocks and dirt clumps that are the same size as potato’s to get harvested. They sort them out back at the farm before the potato’s go into a cellar, usually.

I was born and raised in Burley Idaho. What farm is this? I might know him I used to work on lotta farms around Burley Idaho area.

Searle is the last name. Not sure if I spelled it right though

4:40 What’s the biggest advantage of using this model?

[@jayfarmer3911]

Dug spuds once with a Fendt tractor. Never again. Seat doesn't turn far enough at all. Torture.

[@jayhuff4674]

How long after they dig them can they pick them?

[@mikesmith480]

Not a very clean sample heck of a lot of soil

[@farmhandmike]

It was a bit damp.

[@lucdelanoy7296]

On that closeup on the boom they were picking up a pivot track lengthwise . If you tried to get rid of those hard clods there would be nothing left of those spuds, they would get so bruised that they'll rot in storage

[@kellypage7187]

Alot of clods

[@jefferyronson8950]

that's a lot of taters.
