That is great. Looks like the young man has some skills.No, my 17 year old son did. He has wanted a digger for years and found one last fall.
Mine did the same thing. My Yukon's still did good, Norkotah russet's were okay, Burbank russet's sucked.Nice implement. I'd like to see a short video of it in action.
How did your taters do?
We had drought conditions most of July-August and tops keeled over a early. I need to check some hills to see what they produced. I leave them in the ground until cool weather and I can cure them and put into the root cellar. Just have to check that mice/voles don't start in on the rows.....
neat machine. well done project, restoration.The 'taters did good My son will put it on via youtube shortly.
I have one of those & an a Mattock that works great in all kinds of soil. We use a mule & turn plow when I was young, 1960's.I'm old fashioned and it's more fun than shoveling manure or snow.
Try to find an old True Temper like this one, new POS from Chi-Coms won't last a year........
