PATENT ROTARY POTATO DIGGER. 



The Best Potato Digger in the Market. 



The " IPSWICH" Potato Digger is constructed on a new principle, and 

 embodies several important improvements. Instead of forks, revolving at a 

 great speed, being used to knock the potatoes out of the ground, round steel 

 lifters, attached to sight standards, are used, the potatoes being gently moved 

 on one side without injury. The adoption of this principle enables the speed 

 of the machine to be considerably lessened, and the draught required much 

 reduced, so that it is the highest running machine in the market. 



The Road Wheels are all steel. The Gearing is enclosed from dirt, but 

 can be easily got at for oiling. The share-blade and Breasts are both 

 adjusted by one movement of the same hand lever, requiring no setting, and 

 the pitch of the share is not altered. This is very important, as altering the 

 pitch of the share as is the case with all other methods raises the wings of 

 the blade, cuts the potatoes, and adds to the draught of the Digger. 



The Screens for preventing the scattering of the potatoes when lifted are 

 of two kinds : one a simple, hanging, canvas screen ; the other, a gear-driven 

 Rotary Net Screen, which stops the potatoes without injury, leaving them 

 in a straight row within easy reach of the picker. This is found exceedingly 

 economical, as at least one-third the cost of picking is saved.
