Default Potato harvesting

Morning all, love seeing the pics of the gardens going. Have a much larger garden than we have done the last few years , about 100x150 vs the 20 x30 . So now we have two n a half 100 ft rows of taters to deal with later. I was looking at using the moldboard to dig them at harvest but was curious what others might use. Always looking for a better way!

If I wanted to harvest potatoes, I would watch the MANY Russian videos on YouTube.

For some reason, it seems ALL Russians harvest potatoes,,,,

What is vodka made out of,,,, ??

This is what I would use,,,,

That's a nice old rig 123, glad to see its still being worked. Cad, that's what made me ask is that I was seeing a lot of the vibrating shaker setups that run off pto whitch I don't have, but there was one hooked up to a small elec motor that is possible. Just kicking around ideas while there's time before harvest.

I use a middle buster also. One of those shakers would be nice though, especially this year. I went light on the corn & beans, and heavy on the potatoes. 1300'. What was I thinking?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
