Just for the record im 16 and live on a small farm. I don't plan on making it fancy, just practical. Ive got some time to think because i cant start untill the beans are in the bin. My idea was if i could make it dig, the potatoes would travel up a conveyer to a box or basket. I thought the conveyer would help to shake any loose dirt on the potatoe. Kinda like jdemaris' picture. I like the plow, it would work good but what if i use one that would flip everything onto the conveyer. Using a plow would also require me to use my fergusen which is not a problem. i thought to make mine work by axle drive. Put a sprocket around the axle of the picker so when it turned, a chain would turn everything else. I only plant 2 20ft rows. I can only imagine the back aches you get. Thanks for the pictue and the ideas, it will get me thinking more. i will try and post some pictures when it begins to look like something. Probaly not till winter though. Thanks Colby
