Good ole peanut, gets me everytime

[@semco72057]

I have never done that with a tractor before, but it is much simpler than the technique we used while growing up using a horse and plow. Now that I'm retired my thought was of growing my own country garden since we have plenty of space to do it.

If you're handy you can weld pieces of rebar off the back that lift the taters up higher. Works great then. Without rebar just works good. I've had one for years.

[@galehess6676]

How many pieces, how long, and how are they oriented? (parallel to the ground?).

[@erikvaldur3334]

@@galehess6676 about 18" to 20" long , longer if you like . Space them around 2" or less apart so the taters won't fall through. Run them up a little in the back from parallel with the ground. My potato plow lips up in the back of the spade. They follow that angle real nicely and it helps the potatoes lift up pretty nicely without bringing up much dirt. I wait a week after a rain so the soil is less clumpy when harvesting.

I just bought one of these middle busters for my Massey Ferguson GC1725M. Specifically for potatoes, tomorrow we are planning on digging them to the top using this attachment. Hope it will work.

[@zacktube100]

I have a GC1723E. How did this work for your potatoes?

[@googlreviews7813]

@@zacktube100 It worked very well, I was shocked how well it worked. I did record a video doing it, I'll try to upload it and I'll leave a link.

[@willie9767]

I just use my push plow it nice job on getting potatoes up out d ground

[@smellygoatacres]

Poor Peanut. He just wants to play in the dirt.

[@juliusarnold2844]

I’m just here to hear “hit it peanut”

[@longlakeshore]

Beautiful red clay -- looks like Tennessee.

[@kutzbill]

How much HP do you need for this type of plow? I have a lot of rocks from small to about 75 pounds on my land. I've removed by hand all in the garden area, but I wonder if I'd tear the plow apart ifI used it to clear more land on rocks? Theanks.

[@williambixby3785]

Find a good used older one… things today aren’t made worth a damn

[@mrwilson4909]

wow. that is super deep. my tarter middle buster wont even touch ground surface.

[@fllikoxer]

useless tool the tractor wheels will run directly down the adjoining row or do you plant your potatoes 7 feet apart ?

[@semco72057]

@shelmarie87 My grandfather always planted potatoes separately from the rest of the crops.

[@MrjackieG]

@shelmarie87 In northern climates you spray the potatoes with acid killing the tops then leave them in the ground for 10 to 14 days. This toughens the skin and provides you with a more uniform potato crop..

[@bofts]

@Z71Ranger My soil is red clay and I grow alot of potatoes in my garden

[@HighRoad317]

Peanut he’s classic.

[@Mackeson3]

@MarcoAtlarge Yes I thought that too.

[@smyers820gm]

Hey Ted...why do some potato plows have forks coming out of the back and this one doesn't? Not sure how to describe it but I've seen some with small bars sticking straight out the back of the plow.

[@willie9767]

By using that equipment it takes a lot of room

[@kadaver100]

dammit peanut lmao

[@guyh.4553]

All that is is a sweep. There needs to be some kind of rake or something to keep the spuds from being buried. Good for furrows tho

[@MarcoAtlarge]

should have slats or rods for taters to flow over

[@johndmowerman]

we use a shovel and a bucket

[@petterquispe6972]

Precio. Del tractor

[@1941pearl]

Show a video of plowing up the taters when tops are still there.

[@olddave4833]

I'd like to see this think in rocky New England soil

[@jaxturner7288]

Harvest?? Isn’t that when you collect the end product? I think trench for planting, or row furrow for spuds, would be more accurate. You’ll scar and bust em if you dig em up with that.

[@mattmiller5215]

Peanut can't do anything right...sounds like

[@1941pearl]

+Matt Miller LOL,, yeah, can't hear when the tractor is running.

Up peanut!!!

[@pantera013]

Peanut!! hahaha

[@nebulouspranks]

Admit it your here from the football player that’s a farmer

[@holybabble]

you made this video in 2009...haven't you harvested potatoes yet? i'd like to see how it works with potatoes.

[@Z71Ranger]

looks like your potatoes did not produce any, they don't grow good in red clay soil.. Did you use fertilizer and keep them watered? Also you may have used to much nitrogen. Or did you plant them to deep? Or did that plow not ever get deep enough to get them to the top of the ground. I sure would like to see how big the potatoes where.

[@jimmason1072]

Sounds like someone else should be driving the tractor. Then I am sure everything would be perfect!

[@philipjoron9626]

if you want to show how to dig potatoes ,you should dig potatoes so we can see them come up ,i don't think that it will do the job that good.

[@EverythingAttachments]

For decades, people have been using these to dig potatoes. We also offer a pto powered potato digger for the more serious growers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4e4hWmFgqqMjrM

[@steveyoth1]

I watched the whole damn video and didn't see a single potato harvested!

[@GermanShepherd1983]

That just makes a furrow. No way does that thing work very well in digging potatoes.

[@EverythingAttachments]

People have been using these to dig potatoes for 50+ years. Are there more sophisticated, pricey tools for the job? Yes, but this beats the manual approach. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mrgrimm6772]

I think even longer than 50 yrs...I've seen very old ones designed to be pulled by an animal that are made with a metal blade on a wood frame and handles toward the rear.

[@J8T530]

peanut

[@timg783]

the operater wasnt very good haha

[@salimidir3500]

Mmmm, but where is the potatoes??? 🤔🤔🤔
