Lyle, my tater picker just walked out of the office and went to the kitchen so I'd better type this fast and get it off the screen, She's about a foot shorter than me and closer to the ground so I run the fork and she picks em up. Jim

I have an old potato plow that was made by the father of one of my Dad's neighbors about 1860. Originally pulled with horses of course, but it can be used to plant, hill up, and dig potatoes. Really a neat tool and shows what an old farmer/blacksmith could come up with to make life easier. I'll try to post a picture next time I'm around to take one. I don't have any other potato digger, she's too tall to bend over and pick 'em up, even after I dig them.

I have seen it on commercials.. never saw it in person found a pic of both though..
I did eat at a Subway directly in line with the end of the runway of the airport named after him. Ate in the car overlooking St. Vincents Collage where the Flag was at half staff for Joe Pertono.

I just got one like that in working condition. They bring a lot of money in this area. CNY

I think I may have seen it at some point, what route is it on? I usually travel 982 or 217.

Old Roy · Jan 28, 2012

That one is out 286 (5-6 mile ) from Saltsburg towards 380 on the left. I usually run 156 to 981 to Latrobe, thought Id take a side trip next time I'll bring my own camera, smart phones don't multi task too well with a grandaughter on the net while traveling .

By outlaw performance, couple mile from my home. Had you turned right across the road from the picker, it would have brought you to avonmore crossroads.
