“JOHN DEERE” SHAKER POTATO DIGGER 
Steel beam. Natural temper steel blades. Provided with weed fender and 
gauge wheel. The Shaker Digger has a perfectly flat blade and will not cut 
the potatoes. The rod grating is hinged at the front and is given an up-and- 
down shaking motion by the sprocket wheel at the rear. This shakes the dirt 
off from the tubers and leaves them clean and whole on top of the ground. 
The weed fender is intended to clear away weeds and vines, preparing the way 
for the blade. The Digger is shipped with fore carriage and fender, unless 
ordered without.

where they are easy to see and pick up. Extra high clearance in throat of 
beam. Strong steel blade scours and wears well. Gauge wheel regulates depth. 
Adjustable handles. Steel beam.
