\u25c6 Product Overview<\/h3>\n

The AWB Trailed Potato Digger<\/strong> series takes the proven 2-row AWB digging platform and mounts it on a pull-type (trailed) chassis<\/strong> \u2014 unlocking a dramatic working speed advantage of 5\u201310 km\/h<\/strong>, nearly double the 3\u20135 km\/h of the mounted models. Available in three configurations \u2014 AWB-1600 AAR<\/strong>, AWB-1600 BAR<\/strong>, and AWB-1600 CAR<\/strong> \u2014 the trailed series is designed for commercial potato growers and professional contractors<\/strong> who need the highest possible digging throughput per day.<\/p>\n

The trailed design distributes the machine’s weight through its own axle and wheels rather than loading the tractor’s rear three-point hitch. This provides superior stability at high speed, smoother tracking over uneven ground, reduced tractor rear-axle stress, and more consistent digging depth<\/strong> \u2014 all critical advantages when operating at 8\u201310 km\/h in harvesting conditions. All three models require 95 hp and run at 540 RPM PTO.<\/p>\n

Designed as a cost-effective alternative to premium European trailed diggers from brands such as Grimme and AVR, the AWB Trailed series delivers professional digging speed and separation quality at a substantially lower investment.<\/p>\n

Industries Served:<\/strong> Commercial Potato Farming, Seed Potato Production, Agricultural Contracting, Estate & Cooperative Farming, Root Crop Harvesting.<\/p>\n

\u25c6 How the AWB Trailed Potato Digger Works<\/h3>\n

The digging process is identical to the mounted AWB series \u2014 dig, sieve, deposit<\/strong> \u2014 but the trailed chassis fundamentally changes the dynamics of the operation. The machine rides on its own wheels and axle, towed behind the tractor via a drawbar hitch. This separates the machine’s weight and vibration from the tractor’s rear axle, allowing higher ground speeds, smoother digging, and more consistent depth control.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 \u2014 Digging:<\/strong> Two heavy-duty shares penetrate beneath the ridges, lifting the entire soil-and-tuber mass. The trailed chassis provides a stable, level platform that maintains consistent share depth even at 8\u201310 km\/h \u2014 a critical advantage over mounted diggers that tend to bounce at higher speeds.<\/p>\n

Stage 2 \u2014 Sieving & Separation:<\/strong> The lifted material passes onto PTO-driven vibrating sieve webs. Soil, small stones, and debris fall through; clean tubers ride across the web surface. The longer sieve path available on the trailed chassis (compared to more compact mounted designs) provides extended separation time, resulting in cleaner output.<\/p>\n

Stage 3 \u2014 Deposition:<\/strong> Separated tubers are deposited gently onto the field surface behind the machine in a neat windrow for manual or mechanical collection.<\/p>\n

Structural Composition:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u25b6 Trailed Chassis & Axle<\/strong><\/td>\nSelf-supporting chassis with integrated axle and field-rated wheels. The machine’s entire weight is carried on its own running gear \u2014 zero load on the tractor’s three-point hitch. A drawbar hitch connects to the tractor’s tow point. This design allows safe, stable operation at speeds up to 10 km\/h.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u25b6 Digging Shares<\/strong><\/td>\nTwo hardened steel plowshares with adjustable depth control. Bolt-on replaceable. The stable trailed platform allows the shares to track at a consistent depth even at high speed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u25b6 Extended Sieve Web<\/strong><\/td>\nPTO-driven vibrating conveyor with hardened steel rods. The trailed chassis accommodates a longer sieve web than mounted designs, providing more separation distance and cleaner tuber output \u2014 especially important at the higher 5\u201310 km\/h speeds where more material passes through the machine per minute.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u25b6 PTO Driveline<\/strong><\/td>\n540 RPM input via extended cardan shaft with slip clutch. The longer driveline between tractor and trailed implement includes telescoping sections for turning and articulation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u25b6 Hydraulic Controls (BAR & CAR)<\/strong><\/td>\n2 double-acting hydraulic remotes on the BAR and CAR models provide cab-controlled depth adjustment and web speed modulation. The AAR model operates with mechanical adjustment only.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u25c6 Core Advantages of the AWB Trailed Potato Digger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

\ud83d\ude80 5\u201310 km\/h \u2014 Up to 2\u00d7 Faster<\/p>\n

The trailed chassis enables working speeds of 5\u201310 km\/h \u2014 up to double the 3\u20135 km\/h of mounted models. At 75 cm row spacing and 8 km\/h, the trailed AWB digs approximately 1.2 hectares per hour \u2014 compared to 0.75 ha\/h for a mounted digger at 5 km\/h. Over a 10-hour harvest day, this difference adds up to 4\u20135 extra hectares harvested.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\u2696\ufe0f Superior Stability at Speed<\/p>\n

The self-supporting chassis and own wheels isolate the digger from tractor pitching and bouncing. This maintains consistent share depth and smooth sieve operation even at 10 km\/h on uneven ground \u2014 where mounted diggers tend to bounce and produce inconsistent results. More stable digging means less tuber damage and cleaner separation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcaa Zero Rear-Axle Load<\/p>\n

The trailed design carries the machine’s entire weight (1,150\u20131,500 kg) on its own axle. The tractor only provides towing force and PTO power \u2014 its rear axle is completely unburdened. This reduces rear tyre wear, eliminates rear-axle overload risk, and allows the tractor to operate in better balance for safer, more controlled driving.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\ud83d\udd04 Extended Sieve Path \u2014 Cleaner Output<\/p>\n

The trailed chassis accommodates a longer sieve web than space-constrained mounted designs. More separation distance means more thorough soil removal, resulting in cleaner tubers with less manual sorting required after deposition. This is particularly important at higher speeds where the volume of material passing through the machine per minute is significantly greater.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83d\udccb Three Build Tiers<\/p>\n

AWB-1600 AAR (1,150 kg, no hydraulics): robust trailed platform at the most accessible price. AWB-1600 BAR (1,350 kg, 2 hydraulic valves): adds cab-controlled depth and web adjustment. AWB-1600 CAR (1,500 kg, 2 hydraulic valves): the heaviest, most durable build for the highest-volume contractor use.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcb0 More Hectares Per Day = Lower Cost Per Hectare<\/p>\n

The speed advantage directly reduces the cost per harvested hectare. Same tractor, same operator, same fuel \u2014 but double the digging speed. For contract harvesters paid per hectare, the trailed AWB generates significantly higher daily revenue than any mounted alternative at the same power level.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\u25c6 Structure & Material Craftsmanship<\/h3>\n

Trailed Chassis:<\/strong> Heavy-gauge welded steel frame with integrated axle beam, stub axles, and field-rated wheels with agricultural tyres. The chassis is designed as a rigid, self-supporting platform that carries the entire machine weight independently of the tractor. A height-adjustable drawbar connects to the tractor’s rear tow hitch or lower-link drawbar adapter.<\/p>\n

Digging Shares:<\/strong> Forged hardened steel plowshares, bolt-on replaceable. Identical in material and geometry to the mounted AWB series \u2014 designed to lift the full ridge width cleanly with minimum tuber damage.<\/p>\n

Extended Sieve Web:<\/strong> PTO-driven shaker chain or rod-link conveyor. The trailed chassis provides space for a longer web assembly than the mounted models, increasing separation path and improving output quality at the higher 5\u201310 km\/h working speeds.<\/p>\n

PTO Driveline:<\/strong> 540 RPM cardan shaft with telescoping sections for turning articulation, plus slip clutch and shear bolt protection. The extended driveline length is purpose-engineered for trailed-implement geometry.<\/p>\n

Hydraulic System (BAR & CAR):<\/strong> 2 double-acting hydraulic remotes for cab-controlled depth and web speed. Hardened chrome-shaft cylinders with double-lip seals.<\/p>\n

Surface Finish:<\/strong> All components shot-blasted and powder-coated for corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u25c6 Application Scenarios \u2013 Where the AWB Trailed Digger Excels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

\ud83e\udd54 High-Speed Commercial Harvesting<\/p>\n

For farms with 50\u2013300+ hectares of potatoes, harvest time is the tightest bottleneck in the season. The trailed AWB’s 5\u201310 km\/h capability delivers approximately 0.8\u20131.5 hectares per hour \u2014 enough to harvest 8\u201312 hectares per day. This speed advantage can mean the difference between completing harvest before autumn rains and losing crop in the ground.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83d\ude9a Professional Contracting \u2014 Maximum Daily Output<\/p>\n

Contract harvesters are paid per hectare. The trailed AWB digs roughly twice as fast as a mounted digger at the same power level. Combined with superior stability (fewer stops for depth correction), the trailed design maximizes daily output and per-season revenue. Faster turnaround between client fields also means more contracts served.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf3e Seed Potato \u2014 Speed With Gentle Handling<\/p>\n

The trailed chassis provides smoother operation than mounted diggers at equivalent speed \u2014 less bouncing means less tuber impact and bruising. For seed potato producers who need both speed and quality, the trailed AWB delivers high throughput without sacrificing the gentle handling required to maintain seed certification standards.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf5a Root Vegetable Harvesting at Speed<\/p>\n

Sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, and other ridge-planted root crops benefit from the trailed digger’s higher working speed. Adjustable share depth and sieve aggressiveness accommodate different crop types, while the stable trailed platform maintains consistent digging quality at 5\u201310 km\/h.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf0e Large Farms With Uneven Terrain<\/p>\n

On rolling or uneven fields, mounted diggers struggle to maintain consistent depth because the tractor’s rear-end pitches with the terrain. The trailed AWB’s own wheels follow the ground profile independently, keeping shares at a steady depth regardless of tractor angle changes \u2014 resulting in less tuber cutting, less missed crop, and a cleaner harvest.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u25c6 Frequently Asked Questions \u2013 AWB Trailed Potato Digger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Q1: Why choose trailed over mounted?<\/p>\n

Speed and stability. The trailed design enables 5\u201310 km\/h (vs 3\u20135 km\/h mounted), provides superior depth consistency over uneven ground, and eliminates rear-axle loading on the tractor. If your operation harvests more than ~30 hectares per season, the trailed digger’s speed advantage pays for the price difference quickly.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q2: How many hectares per day can the trailed AWB dig?<\/p>\n

At 75 cm row spacing and 7\u20138 km\/h average speed, approximately 1.0\u20131.2 hectares per hour. On a 10-hour day: 10\u201312 hectares \u2014 roughly double the daily output of a 3\u20135 km\/h mounted digger.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q3: What is the difference between AAR, BAR, and CAR?<\/p>\n

All share the same trailed platform, 95 hp, and 5\u201310 km\/h speed. AAR (1,150 kg): standard build, no hydraulics. BAR (1,350 kg): heavier build with 2 hydraulic valves for cab control. CAR (1,500 kg): heaviest, most durable build with 2 hydraulic valves \u2014 built for the highest-volume contractor use.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q4: What tractors are compatible?<\/p>\n

Any tractor with 95 hp+, a 540 RPM PTO, and a rear drawbar or tow hitch. BAR and CAR models also need 2 double-acting hydraulic remotes. Popular models: John Deere 6M, New Holland T5\/T6, Case IH Farmall C\/Maxxum, Kubota M7, Massey Ferguson 5700, Fendt 300 Vario.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q5: Does the trailed digger collect potatoes into a bunker?<\/p>\n

No. Like all AWB models, the trailed series is a digger \u2014 it lifts, sieves, and deposits tubers in a windrow on the soil surface. Collection is done separately. The dig-and-windrow method is the most cost-effective approach for most 2-row operations.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q6: Can the trailed AWB dig other root crops?<\/p>\n

Yes \u2014 sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, and other ridge-planted roots, with share depth and sieve adjustment. Contact us for crop-specific guidance.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q7: Should the field be stone-free before harvest?<\/p>\n

Stone-free fields produce the best results. We recommend managing stones before planting using a stone crusher, rock rake, or stone picker<\/a> to reduce tuber damage and share wear at harvest.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q8: Can the trailed model be road-transported?<\/p>\n

Yes. The trailed chassis with its own wheels allows safe road transport behind the tractor. Overall width and lighting should comply with local road transport regulations \u2014 contact us for advice on your region’s requirements.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q9: Do you ship internationally?<\/p>\n

Yes, we export worldwide. Production takes 15\u201320 days. CIF or FOB pricing available. Please contact our team<\/a> for a quotation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Q10: What maintenance does the trailed AWB require?<\/p>\n

After each season: inspect shares and sieve web; grease all bearings, wheel hubs, and PTO driveline; check tyre condition and pressure; inspect drawbar hitch and safety chain; check hydraulic connections (BAR\/CAR); tighten all bolts; and store under cover.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
