Miniature Siku Grimme Potato Harvester in 1:87 scale, yet still fairly large. In fact it would require two people to sort rotten spuds and rocks that get through before they drop off into the hold.

Drawbar to Tow Hitch

Large, Grime Potato Harvester is fitted with a long drawbar that stretches out far to reach the hitch of tractor - for good reason as there needs to be space between tractor/implement.

That way when maneuvering around the field, its possible to do so without friction. Rear tow hitch on Fendt tractor is a standard one, and can be used with this implement or all others in the series.

Harvest Time

Whip out the Siku Grimme Potato Harvester from the farm shed when its time to harvest. You'd need to go up and down the field in a straight line to pick up spuds that are buried in the ground.

Spuds make there way up the conveyer belt mechanism before going into storage; then with use of the fold up conveyor, the potatoes can be offloading into a waiting trailer to be taken away.
