Underhaug Potato Harvester / Digger

UM 6150 elevator digger is a robust built potato digger that can be used under nearly all har- vesting conditions. It is 3-point mounted and P.T.O. driven. The elevator chain is a hooked steel chain that can also be delivered with rubber covered rods. At the rear of the digger, behind the elevator chain, a side grate delivers the potatoes to the side of the machine placing them far enough from the next ridge to prevent the tractor wheels rolling over them when the next ridge is lifted. With this machine it is possible to lift as much of the field as one wishes- independant of the pickers. Under wet soil conditions it is often desirable to let the potatoes rest on the ground for some while in order to dry up a little. Ouicker picking is facilitated by digging in advance of the pickers. Underhaug Potato planters and harvesters manufactured in Norway have being used in Ireland for over 100 years now and the brand itself is very well known here and across the world.
