Nice implement to have around. We still hand-dig our potatoes but don't harvest as many as you. We only had 2 diaper boxes full this year 😅; about 40 pounds.
@@Academy_Farm We ordered seed potatoes early, then had a lot of Kennebec left over from the prior year at planting time and couldn’t bear to just compost them, so in the ground they went! We like to share the bounty with family and friends. 🙂
@@funsmasher7018 Having done a shallow till to smooth the surface and plant winter rye, I didn’t miss as many as I thought. Almost none in the first 3 rows. The later rows where I got lazy we missed a few more. Even hand digging I always miss a few that start growing next year.
@@tymz-r-achangin Yep, the price of USA made stuff can be kinda crazy. Good Works Tractors is selling Dirt Dog middle busters for $925 shipping included. I skipped on that because it was just too much. Had the Homestead Implements middle buster been the current price back in July, I wouldn’t have ordered it for sure.
@@ProductiveRecreation My apologies. There is SO MUCH made in commi china junk in our country that I assumed your 3-point attachment was made in china. Well if its Made In USA, then I can see why it cost the 760. It's built with quality materials, craftsmanship, and actually has a quality-control division in the factory. Will last your lifetime, your children's, and your grandchildren's lifetime! I still have my grandpa's 3-point attachments for his 1939 Ford 9N tractor and theyre literally still just as good as the day they were manufactured in the USA
@@tymz-r-achangin Homestead Implements is based in Jamestown, NY and they make their products there. Hank Hamilton did a nice video tour of them earlier this year. I like purchasing USA made when I can, but the price can definitely hurt. Not rolling in $ here, just trying to save some time and labor with this purchase. It’s stout. 20lb (30%) heavier than the Tractor Supply option, and rated for a more powerful tractor too. I still use a JD single bottom moldboard plow that my grandfather pulled with a 9N - which was the predecessor to the Ford 1700 in this video, which came onto the property in 1982. That tractor was made in Japan, but it’s a nice machine.
Good video on your potato harvesting

You will miss so many spuds, you will not have to seed the field next spring.

760 DOLLARS for that? We're being RIPPED OFF !
