Simple and effective DIY potato digger

Very often in our life it happens that the simplest things are also the most effective. The season of large-scale potato harvesting will begin very soon. Surely in the summer cottage of most fellow citizens, at least someone has a working walk-behind tractor. However, the owner of such a miracle does not always have agricultural garden equipment for him. It is easy to fix this, because making a simple but effective plow for choosing potatoes is not at all difficult.

What you need: bolts and nuts М10, reinforcement 8-10 mm, pointed cultivator share, strip 40х4 mm, razor legs KRN

If you managed to get all of the above and prepare all the potentially necessary tools, then assembling a potato digger with your own hands will no longer be difficult, even for a beginner. The main load in the future design is borne by the duckfoot cultivator share without a stand. One razor paw should be welded to it on the sides. After that, a 450 mm strip of metal is welded to each razor.

In the upper strip of the structure, two holes are made with a 10 mm drill, after which the fan is welded. The first reinforcement 30 cm long is placed in the center so as to be symmetrical to the sides of the structure. Then the second reinforcement is placed and welded, and then each subsequent one. In this case, the fan must be attached to the reinforcement at a slight upward slope.

Next, you need to make a traverse for attaching the paw racks. The easiest way will be to assemble a U-shaped structure of 3 metal strips. Mounts for the walk-behind tractor are made using a drill strictly in the center of the structure. When the structure is assembled, you must remember to thoroughly clean all the seams and remove the rust.
