    As you stated, Pat, those potatoes 🥔 look really good with the lack of rain ya'll had. My parent's live in Northern PA, and I know they are in a drought and need rain pretty bad!! Great video! 👍

      Thanks John, it was good to see this as dry as we’ve been.

    You're inspiring me. I plant and harvest potatoes by hand and I'm getting tired of it. Looks like using my tractor to do the work is the way to go, and the middlebuster is a lot cheaper than getting a dedicated potato harvester. Do you get much damage to the potatoes from the middlebuster?

    • @ElkCreekAcres

      Thanks, we’ve looked at regular dedicated potato harvesting equipment, but this works. Generally I’m easily able to get underneath the potatoes, but occasionally I will slice one, but not very often.

    You should mow it before you dig your potatoes

      We do, I explained this in the video. But we beat my father in law to the field and just wanted to try a row or two.

    Forgive my question, but I know nothing…so, the subsoiler breaks up the ground and the potatoes fall into the trench. That is really cool, by the way! Are you using the subsoiler in between rows for that to happen? How do you gather all the potatoes afterwards?

    • @ElkCreekAcres
      @ElkCreekAcres  2 года назад +1

      This is a middle buster, it’s made for making furrows, but we’ve found it’s quite useful for plowing up the potatoes. It has a wide V plow as opposed to just a narrow shank like the subsoiler has.

    Is your flag in the cab upside down? Great looking potatoes.

    How many potatoes did you plant? Were they only for your wife and kids? You got me thinking about planting a crop

    • @ElkCreekAcres
      @ElkCreekAcres  2 года назад

      Jim, we plant about 300# of seed potatoes. We sell a lot and have enough for four families, they usually keep until around March 1st.
