JC Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 When I was a lad.... We used to use a "spinner" behind the tractor which was fitted with prongs, as it rotated it swept the soil and potato's to one side and the pickers would pick out the spuds and put them in baskets... Anyone any idea who made these and are they still in use today?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
