Allan: What makes the hydros valuable on a potato harvester is the ability to crowd he harvester so one is just nicely rid of the soil as potatoes reach the truck or wagon. My friend estimated the hydro cut down his losses from bruising about 15%. Potatoes bouncing over those chains without soil cost a lot of dollars with older gear drive tractors in the past. He had a gear drive 856, gear drive 1066 and a 1066 hydro. After some years he built a self propelled harvester and mounted the 1066 hydro up top as the power source. He put sprokets on the rear axle with chain drive down to harvester wheels. His pull type had been two row, the self propelled was four row. That was 30+ years ago, today they are buying factory self propelled harvesters.
