Hi. I have just got a potato lifter, and it's a must for all mechanised gardeners. Before I had it I could lift about a bag a night. Last night I lifted 3 bags in under 2 hours and with no digging!!!   . Its just a banker with fingers. I made mine in an afternoon.

Well you lost me - a banker with fingers? Some sort of rhyming slang
Any chance of a picture? Or maybe it will make sense to me in the morning!

Hi John.

Great web page. I will put up a picture in next few days. But the device realy is simple. I think similar devices were used behind horses to lift potato's.

You are talking to a man who needs a Haynes manual to put oil in the car and then asks where the engine is located!

I have photo's but how do you post them ??

[noshed]

Click on "album" in the top left corner and then allotment pics or whatever and then "upload pics" the sizes etc are there. If you haven't got any picture-handling software, Irfan View is good and free (just google for it).

I have just purchased a barford atom so if anyone has a pic of a potato lifter for me to manufacture that would be great

bigbadfrank whats that your playing with in your little pic ,is it a golf trolley crossed with a shredder ?

[Moir]

The atom is 3hp.  only form the info i have been reading on the net.

Some of the ones sold on ebay have them but without a detailed picture.

the golf trolley cross is a honda F8 rotovator. Old but great.

Moir you need big diameter wheels for the lifter. I have never seen a atom so dont know much about them. 3hp should be plenty just put some weights on to get traction.

[Moir]

thanks the dia of the wheels is approx 2' so a guessed it would be ok.  How do i see the photographs on this site.

Thanks
