"Everything has to be big. There's nothing out there for the average home gardener that plants just a few rows of potatoes."
With that thought in mind, Herman Jones created his home-gardener potato plow. The combination potato-digger / potato-plow, as seen on the left, is 2 feet wide, 3 feet long, approximately 130 lbs, and will attach to any size tractor.
It has no moving parts, and is smaller than a conventional potato digger, while still being faster than a potato fork.
"When it's finished, it should leave a nice row of potatoes right on top the ground, and the ground fairly level."
This digger is homemade by
Mr. Jones in northeast-central Pennsylvania, with welding performed by
Kevin Derrick of Danville, Pennsylvania.
