ABSTRACT:
A multi-row peanut harvester having linkage for independent vertical movement of digger/shaker/inverter assemblies for digging peanut vines from the ground in a field, shaking dirt from the peanut vine roots, and inverting the peanut vines for exposing the peanuts to air. Each linkage comprises two A-frame structures joined at apexes a connecting member. The A-frames connect to a tool bar which attaches to a tractor and to a connector bar which attaches to the DSI assembly. The DSI move vertically independently in response to the DSI's wheels travelling on the ground, independently of the adjacent DSI.
