Shovel-harvester

The craftsmen can make this kind of shovel-combine by next spring. She will help quickly, without much fatigue, to plant potatoes. If this is done by a conventional shovel, then it is necessary to do a great many unnecessary movements: to bend down, dig a hole, throw a tuber, fill it with earth. The proposed device combines all operations. The scheme of his work is as follows: two triangular shovels are welded to two handles, which, in a closed position, resemble a beak. Clicking on it, the shovel is easily deepened into the ground (see Fig.).

Now we need to bring together the handles - the "beak" under the ground will open. It throws a tuber and pulls out the "opened" shovel. In this case, the ground is filled with potatoes.
