Tater digger

 We are setting up to dig potatoes as soon as the soil dries up from the recent rain.  So, the tater digger will come out to play yet again this season.  A few years ago, we posted the picture on Facebook and asked people to be creative and come up with uses for it.  We thought we might share them again here!

The original post: Soon, this will be put to use. So, how shall we use it? Be creative!
Nancy D -  Some kind of chipmunk torture device?
Jeff C -  Picking pea pods, before they break the surface?
Keith K - I used one identical to this, as a kid, on my parents farm for digging potatos. It's an old potato plow (meant to be pulled by a horse), modified for a tractor. Maybe you know this. I just got excited when I saw the picture.
GFF's Response to Keith: 
Keith...you're not supposed to be accurate, just creative.
Everyone ignore Keith! Keep being creative.

Keith K - Crab grass filtration device. Dress it up into a scarecrow for Fall. Cloths drying rack on top, boot dryer on bottom. I'm done. (that's the spirit Keith! We know Keith and realized he could take a nice chiding.)
Susan C - a device for slinging turkey manure into your neighbors fields...
Theri V -  It looks like it could be a big, scoop-billed bird with big whacky eyes!
Keith K -  hook it to a zip-line, and provide rides at the farm. (Boy, I tell ya, get the guy started....)
GFF - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Now we're having fun! If the zip line was lined up with a row of potatoes.....
Glen E -  A gold finder
Michael P - It should definitely involve a cello bow, an amplifier, and a full moon. (how'd he know we both played cello?)

Melissa J - Looks like a catapult. Aren't the turkeys getting to the obnoxious teen phase? Threaten to launch them into the corn fields! (no animals were harmed in the making of this comment)
Ryan D -  we all know plants grow better with music, it is an oversized thumb harp called a Hypogaea Harp. Best played in the fall to get the one last upward spurt out of the plants before harvest.
Theri V - How about a giant robot head to go up against your new pergola?  Like the "Bad Robot" at the end of some of the TV shows, like Lost.

We're glad so many people had some fun with this and we hope others enjoy the responses as well.
