An evening pause: Stay with this, because when you see this machine smoothly lift three rows of carrots simultaneously out of the ground your jaw will drop. Isn’t engineering amazing?

Edward-
Cool machine.
We have a lot of tree-crops & berry’s in my area of SW Michigan and you can see a number of these type of specialized harvesting machines in action during the Fall.
These are very cool, and “home-grown.”
Oxbo Brand, manufactured in Lynden, Washington.

Very cool Wayne and Edward!
