With a fork you collect well but you split part of the crop: the machine does the same job without the two hours of backache.
Potato lifter hire in Cagliari
Brings the crop to the surface without splitting the tubers. We confirm availability during opening hours.
When you need a potato lifter
A potato lifter raises the soil along the row and brings the tubers to the surface, where they are picked up by hand. It is the sensible way to harvest once the area planted goes beyond a home vegetable patch, because with a fork the work is slow and you inevitably end up spearing part of the crop. The machine works well in loose, dry ground: in wet or clay soil the tubers stay caked in the clods and the advantage shrinks. It is seasonal equipment used a few days a year, so hiring is the natural arrangement. Message us with the area and what soil you have.

Potato lifter hire FAQs
Does it work in clay soil?
Much less well: in heavy, damp soil the clods stay compacted and the tubers stay inside them, so the advantage over a fork shrinks. The right moment is after a few dry days. Tell us what soil you have and we will talk about it first.
Does it damage the tubers?
The principle is to lift the soil and separate it, not to cut, so damage is limited compared with a fork, which always spears some of it. Setting the depth properly is what counts: too deep and it picks up soil, too shallow and it leaves tubers behind.
Do I need a tractor?
It depends on the model: some attach to a two wheel tractor or a tractor, others are self contained. Tell us what you have available on the farm and we will confirm during opening hours which solution we can prepare for your dates.
Is it suitable for other vegetables?
It works on tubers that sit at a similar depth and in loose soil. For deep rooted crops or stony ground it is not the right tool. Tell us what you need to lift and we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
