Digging Potatoes

[@OzziesOddities]

Beautiful garden. Good setup. It's hard work but you sure make it look fun!

[@Jtwes]

Hey Ozzie Thank You . I enjoy it

[@arkrube2624]

Great job! Love your tractor...my first as part of an education in farming.

[@villageoldguy3925]

Nice garden, great technique and love the old machinery. Thanks.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You and Thanks for watching.

[@stumpy2816]

👍👍 kind of satisfying watch the spuds roll out.

[@Jtwes]

The camera doesn’t really pick up all that we’re rolling out it was cool though.

[@JL-xn3zy]

Glad I found your channel. Great stuff! God bless

[@Jtwes]

Thank You JL.

[@taragreenhill8383]

Man i used to enjoy digging taters when i was a kid. Now, not so much lol... Good video mr. Joe. 👍

[@Jtwes]

I’ll be honest Will and Sam did most of the work. I just drove. Lol

[@taragreenhill8383]

Well, im sure you did your fair share of the work when you were their age. Thats one of the perks of getting a little older, we can let the younguns carry the load. Lol. Really enjoy the videos Mr. Joe

[@jamiepeeler9660]

Thanks. You sure got some nice looking potatoes. And nice looking soil!

[@Jtwes]

Just got done eating some small ones with roasted chicken.

[@jackstanley3753]

Hard to beat new potatoes! Looks like y’all got a good crop of them too

[@Jtwes]

Hey Jack , they did pretty good going to put some small ones with roast chicken tomorrow.

[@larryrogers4567]

I used a rig like this with my Troy Built tiller to dig potatoes.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

Thanks for the video Joey. I do look forward to each new one. I have no frame of reference, but it did appear to me to be a nice yield.

[@Jtwes]

It was a good haul. I slipped up a little on the half row and shaved a few heels off.

[@Scuba11000]

I got another couple of weeks before I'll put the spud plow behind my tractor. Mind you mine are in clay and rocks, not such nice dirt as you have there. Keep em coming

[@Jtwes]

I will, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Pat2317]

Liked the video, but loved the pet! They are smart critters!

[@Jtwes]

We Loved having Miss all summer. She’s fully independent now and will occasionally show up late at night for some treats.

[@barryvankoughnett4207]

Awesome boy is helping his dad

[@gleanerk]

Ain’t potatoes it’s tators boy ! 😱😂🤣✌️! Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching! Or Papas in the Latino language

[@Jtwes]

Leno named one of her goats papas 😂

[@gleanerk]

Looks like a good haul on the tators ! Y’all just one BLESSED family!

[@raywhite1442]

Nice sandy ground good place to plant peanuts

[@Jtwes]

Hey Ray. I’ve thought about it before. Might do that one day.

[@brochess049]

I think the farm mall 140 is one of the best garden tractors

[@Jtwes]

There especially good for row cropping. I want to say IH would market it cultivision. Don’t hold me to it.

[@johnhall1614]

Good advice

[@Jtwes]

Thanks for watching and being here.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Like the new graphi at the begging. In this video I might have put on the next screen "digging potatoes" after the JTWES Presents screen .

[@Jtwes]

I thought about that also.

[@frankgibson8861]

Hi i really love the single furrow plough in a previous video i was just wondering how do you maintain a constant working depth , can you fit a depth wheel or do you have to continually adjust on the move ? lovely soil (dirt) a bit short in H2O . your potato digger needs a bit of work i like all potatoes brought to the surface for gathering ,regards frank in N Ireland .

[@Jtwes]

Your right the potato digger will cover up pretty easy. The one bottom is in float so it pulls down to that depth and rides there. I sometimes have to ease it up a little but not much.

[@robertbarlow6715]

Plowing was great but the racoon is just off the chain cool.

[@Jtwes]

We Miss her dearly.

[@robertbarlow6715]

Sorry hate to hear that.

[@garyritterstrings]

Oh boy, I had Racoons too. Just wait until they turn into little Monsters that will claw and chew your eyeballs of of your head.

[@Jtwes]

She already tries that lol.

[@garyritterstrings]

@@Jtwes Ya , they get big and turn into Lions.

[@morriswomack9952]

New taters are delicious, especially with green beans. Anymore I can get mine out of a bag easier than out of the ground...

[@Jtwes]

Had some Sunday with Roasted Chicken

[@garyweaver6026]

Your soil looks like sand. The other video soil looked like lots of rocks. I have never dug potatoes with a tractor and plow. I plant potatoes, 3 rows side by side 8" between rows. TN is hot and dry as desert June to Sept about 1 rain per month all summer and 100°f every day. Potatoes need lots of water if plants don't blossom there are very few new potatoes. Red potatoes out produce white potatoes 4 to 1. Red Pontiac are hot weather potatoes they grow good in our desert soil.

[@williamjohnson2461]

I just bought my first farmall 140, it's been a pain trying to find the attachments. Where did you get your attachments?

[@Jtwes]

I just have been collecting over the years. But if I were having to find some today I would start with Burch store tractors. Www.burchstoretractors.com

[@MrNobody2828]

You can buy a 3 point brand new attachment like what he is digging potatoes with at Mills Fleet Farm Store in Mason City IA. I bought one used for $50 at a farm sale. Works really good for me digging potatoes!

[@BenWinborn]

Is you diggin them with a one bottom ?

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Nah, that's a middle buster. Or a lay off plow some might call them. Some call it a potato plow.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Ben it’s a furrow plow , but you’ll never hear it called that. All you will hear mostly is potato plow.

[@andrewcoleman9247]

Where did you buy that potato plow at ?

[@Jtwes]

From a farmer. It was rusted all to pieces. I did some refurbish on it.

[@rogerbrandt6678]

That looks like pure sand.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Roger Thanks for watching. I’ve always said on the channel I do cherry pick the garden spots so you will see a lot of good soil on here. We have some tight spots for sure I just try to stay away from them. Lol

[@robertpayne2717]

Digging taters and plantin peanut 🥜 would be great 👍
