Potato lifting fork
Potatoes can be harvested with a garden spade, a hoe, a potato harvester or
a potato lifting fork. The latter has 3 to 4 wide and flat or, in cross
section, triangular teeth with pointed ends (approx. 20-30 cm long), which
are attached to a wooden T or D handle (approx. 1 m) . To scoop potatoes, a
potato fork is used, the teeth of which are much closer together and end in
balls so as not to damage the potatoes. Can be distinguished from the
digging fork. See also dung fork. [MOT]
