All processes in agriculture on farmlands or private plots are associated with high labor costs and monotony. To facilitate this process, various adaptations are possible, one of which is a conveyor potato harvester for a motor block. Consider the types and features of this equipment, as well as the characteristics of the most popular brands.
Operating principle
Applied equipment for harvesting tubers hasthe same principle of work. Transporter potato harvester for the motor block is buried in the ground with teeth, pushing the root crops to the surface, after which the harvest is collected manually.
Simple or passive modification is differentcheap construction, can aggregate with almost any motoblocks and cultivators. The unit has the shape of a shovel with teeth at the top. The points raise the soil layer, which, together with the tubers, falls on the working parts, the surplus of soil is crumbled, the potatoes remain on the surface.
Active attachments
Such models are divided into vibrational andconveyor potato harvester for the motoblock. To the technology such units are connected by means of a reducer, a power take-off shaft or a belt. Vibrating analogs function as follows: the active cutting part cuts the soil layer with root crops, which is then fed to a vibrating table where the tubers are cleared from the ground.
Transporter potato harvester for the motoblock byits parameters are similar to vibrating equipment. The main difference is in the presence of a conveyor belt instead of a vibrator table. Passing along the conveyor, the roots are well cleaned from the remnants of the soil. Such modifications are mainly used in conjunction with heavy and medium cultivators.
KT-51
This transporter potato harvestermotoblock "Crosser" and many other assemblies of domestic or foreign assembly processes a strip width of 450 millimeters per pass. The weight of the equipment is 47 kg. The unit provides the possibility of adjusting the depth of cultivation of the soil by adjusting the support wheels. The speed of the belt is controlled by means of the power unit of the cultivator.
This modification is designed for aggregation with heavy and medium technology, equipped with a key type of power take-off shaft. Purchase the device can be priced from 30 thousand rubles
Transporter potato harvester "Zarya" for the motor block and its analogs
Characteristics of the attachments "Dawn":
- The width of the treatment is 600 mm.
- Working depth to the maximum - 300 mm.
- Weight - 80 kg.
- The model aggregates with different motoblocks.
Single-row small-sized conveyor beltPotato harvester for the Neva motor block KN-2 is used on light and medium ground. Before processing, the area from the leaves and weeds should be cleared. A well thought-out coupler universalizes the unit, allowing it to be used with various types of cultivators and other small agricultural machinery. The weight of the equipment is 30 kilograms, the average performance is 100 meters in 2 minutes.
KM-2
This transporter is a potato harvester for a motoblockMTZ refers to single-row attachments, which allows harvesting with minimal losses. Potatoes or other root crops are neatly separated from the soil and remain on the surface. The unit is characterized by good performance, well thought out design. The tool is suitable for almost any type of soil. The depth of the ground is corrected by means of a wheel with a bracket fixed to the base of the device.
CCM-1
The small dimensions of the conveyor beltpotato-digger for a motor-block allows to provide a mechanized digging out of root crops with their subsequent assembly in small areas. With this device, you can also collect beets, garlic and onions. The main module of the unit consists of a sieve grate and an active knife. The depth of processing is regulated by means of support wheels, and the softness of soil separation is corrected by the engine speed of the machinery.
The equipment is aggregated with the Neva motor-blocks,"Cascade", MTZ, "Salute". The tool is oriented to the processing of medium and light soils. The width between the rows is 700 mm. The tractor load can be increased by means of an additional cultivator rod. Before work, it is desirable to remove the tops a couple of days before the harvest.
"Poltavchanka"
This tool is equipped with an active knife,interacts with almost all the motor blocks. The pulley can be mounted to the right or left, moving all the elements to the desired value. The frame part of the unit is made of a pipe 40 x 40 mm, the knife has a thickness of 4 mm, the structure includes rods and a metal coupling with a vibrating device.
"Poltavchanka" is one of the most effectivepotato-digger of domestic production, she chooses a crop quickly and qualitatively. A sharp knife easily picks up the soil with root crops, after which the earth is sieved through the rods, and the output is clean potatoes. The residual part of tubers does not exceed 15 percent.
KVM-3
This type of equipment for the collection of root cropsrefers to vibrating potato-digger. The tool can be connected to various motoblocks, works on firm soils with use of the vibrating adapter providing additional activity of a knife. The universal design allows aggregation with the technique on which the pulley is located on the left or right side.
To work with a right-hand cultivator,The shaft of the equipment should be mounted on the right-hand side using an additional gear. The digger also has a static knife and an ejector table moving along a pusher trajectory with lift. The instrument weighs 39 kilograms, it is completed with domestic and Indian details. The wheels are made of 3 mm sheet metal, the frame is of profile type made of pipes of 40 x 40 mm section, the thickness of the cutting part is 5 mm, the diameter of the ejector is 10 mm.
Homemade conveyor potato harvester for the motoblock
The technology of making potato harvester by one's own hands includes a number of compulsory operations. Among them:
- Mounting the frame from the channels and corners.
- Fixing on the frame part of the elevator and other working elements.
- Installation of transmission shafts.
- Mounting on the frame of reliable metal sides.
- Fastening of a vibrating lattice or a conveyor belt.
- Mounting of the share with bolt fastening.
- Assembling the supporting and transport parts.
- Connecting the equipment to a motor block or cultivator.
Homemade potato harvester is going tothe help of the welding machine or by bolting. The thickness of the metal is taken from the calculation of the assumed load. The standard design is made from corners 63 x 40 mm.
Assembly Features
Homemade potato harvester is made frommetal channel bars. Preliminary it is necessary to purchase bolted hardware in the required quantity, according to the scheme and drawings. The torque is transmitted through a metal or rubber wheel.
The plow should only be mounted afterfull-scale assembly of the elevator part with fixing it on the frame. This detail is the main working part, it is a kind of plow that turns the tubers from the ground. The construction of the support and transport unit also includes a pair of roller chains. This assembly is made of a metal rod.
During the assembly process, special attention is neededgive the connection of the potato digger to the motor block. In the case of poor connection, there is a high probability of disruptions in the work, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of harvesting.
In conclusion
Potato harvester harvester allowsgreatly simplify the work on harvesting tuber crops. Operation of this device saves energy and time, while increasing the quality of harvested potatoes, beets, carrots or onions. Before buying a similar tool, make sure that it is suitable for your type of equipment. In addition, when selecting equipment, the power unit's power, type of soil and the size of the treated area are taken into account.
Since the price of the devices considereddepends on the type and size, the cost of such tools varies on the domestic market from 6 to 30 thousand rubles. The price is also affected by the equipment brand and the region where it is purchased. Having studied carefully the characteristics of the potato digger, comparing its capabilities and parameters of the equipment used, it will not be difficult to choose the best option. For additional savings, you can make the equipment yourself, having certain skills.
