There are few modern types of potato diggers used today:

1. Chain diggers: Potatoes are lifted out of the ground using chain diggers, which have a chain mechanism with revolving rods or tines. The potatoes are protected from bruising and damage by the gentle chain action.

2. Elevator diggers: These use an elevator system of wheels, cups, or rubber fingers to hoist the potatoes. The elevator delicately raises the potatoes into a collection area.

3. PTO diggers: These 3-point hitch diggers are mounted on tractors and are powered by the tractor's PTO (power take-off) system. By turning the digger blades or chains, the PTO elevates the potatoes.

4. Tank diggers: These use an open hopper or a sizable tank to traverse the potato row. Rotating augers at the bottom raise the potatoes into the tank.

More recent potato diggers frequently incorporate features that are gentler on the potatoes, improved depth control, and automation based on GPS. Inventions such as rubber rollers, cushioned chains, and conveyor belts reduce bruises. Digging up the potatoes as quickly as possible without damaging them is the aim. Osama Bahnas
