ABSTRACT:
Harvesting machine for ground vegetables, such as turnips. In such machine, there is provided an unearthing component including a pair of share halves which cooperate to comprise an unearthing share. A driven conveyor element is positioned directly above said unearthing share for moving unearthed vegetables onto other means such as a grating. The conveyor means comprise a generally disk-shaped base having a plurality of arms extending generally radially therefrom. Said arms are mounted in cylindrical housings fixed with respect to said disk and on one side thereof. Each of said arms extends first radially from said housing, then generally axially of said disk to a point adjacent the other side thereof, then again radially and angled in the normal direction of travel of said harvesting machine and terminating with a reverse bend. Said arms are resiliently related to said housing to permit rotation of same in and with respect to said housing together with a resiliently induced return to said arms' respective initial position. Thus, said arms will in normal operation urge said vegetables as desired from said shares to receiving means such as the above-mentioned grating but when necessary will yield to prevent damage to the vegetables.
