Notice the 5 small V tines popping up and down behind the ridger. That's to create small potholes in the valleys so heavy rain and irrigation ponds in the holes and soaks into the soil rather than running along the valleys causing erosion.
@@martinkrpan123 My guess is thinner soil structure, dries out easier when raining so the potatoes can break through the soil easier when its dried out
I’m pretty sure the potatoes are in the brim and not under the valley. The tractors tires are aligned with the valley so there’s no significant soil compaction
@@GRamerDim Thanks. I was only thinking about drainage to keep the potatoes from rotting. The surface area and heat issues seem to make a lot of sense.
@@OsVf770 Its also to create a big volume of soil for the new potatoes to grow in without being too near the surface where light makes them green (and poisonous!). The drainage comment is also right as lifting potatoes in a wet autumn on all but sandy soils needs ridges like these. Sandy soils allow for them to be grown in flat beds. (ex potato grower here!)
@@essexfarmer9610 Right. I remember my grandparents telling me to plant seed potatoes deeply. They raised potatoes, corn and peppers by hand without machines in a small field with sloping but very good black soil. Thanks

Thank, I was wondering what it does.
Do you know why they go over the rows to make them smooth?

Great video, thanks for explaining
Love the camera work under the hood.
Damn Tractorspotter is back strong
Super interesting content! Farming is way more complex than I imagined.
Love Fendt love work with Fendt ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good job guys
These machines are awesome.
Glad your making videos again!
Machinery for agriculture is too modern. I really like your agriculture.
Oooh! Pommes frites on the hoof!
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Nice view 🎉
Very nice video!!!
Interesting, as usual.
Wow so cool 😎
Magnifique vidéo 👍 📹 👍 📹
Very interesting! What is the reason for the ridger?
Really good video ❤
Mooie combi! Ik heb de 724 jaren geleden al vast gelegd. Nu staat deze nog op mijn lijstje👀
Very nice 👍👍
you have an excellent channel!!!
Excellent
Mooi materiaal,en mooi gefimt
Aren't the potatoes damaged when their already in the ground and the rotary hiller on the fendt 313 goes over them?

What the ridging is for?
TOP video! 😁😁😁😁
3:06 thật tuyệt
Waarom trekt hij niet in 1 keer volle ruggen?
Hinten mit Zwillingsreifen fahren und vorne ohne?!?! Wiegt der Schlepper vorne nichts?
God job. 13 hectare

👍👍😎❤️
looks like too much soil, bu love fendt tractors. do you think your tractor is sexy?
Why are farmers making seed potatoes sown furrows shaped like kitkats?
More surface area to attract heat and water management
