Idaho potato harvest 2021

Harvesting of yellow potatoes in eastern Idaho using a Spudnik 6160 wind rower and 6640 harvester. The wind rower goes in front and lifts 6 rows of potatoes and placed them on front of where the harvester will go. This enables us to cover ground quicker and it also helps us be more gentle when harvesting because the more product on the chains actually cushions itself

seeing you be upset about the noodles but then immediately going to improve them is amazing and inspiring to me! i would've given up but you didn't and i really respect that! I love your videos. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

10 rows at a time is impressive. I remember dad pulling a 2 row Spudnik into our shop, cutting it in half, and adding two more rows in the middle. Our neighbors thought he was nuts.

One thing about it..... That digger can DIG!!

[@NeilGastonguay]

he State of Maine harvested 2 billion pounds of potatoes this year; it looks as if you could get that much in that one field.

[@JonIsaak1]

Looks like he needs to slow down lots of dirt going in the truck.

[@potatofarmer6647]

Normally yes we don’t want that much dirt but these are yellow potatoes and they are a little more fragile than your regular brown potato so we dig them wetter than normal so we can send the dirt for cushioning

We dig 16s. I would have some pissed off warehouse crew if i sent that much dirt to the warehouse.

It is literally written on the equipment. Manufactures are funny like that.

[@jeffmcvay]

Spudnik is a great name for a digger. LMAO the 1st time my dad brought one home from Idaho.
