Vine Snapper

Information:

​The Vine Snapper is a unique piece of equipment that is used to remove the forage from sweet potato rows. It uses a set of intermeshed rubber coated rollers to grab the sweet potato vine creating pulling/snapping motion to separate the root from the potatoes. The vine then is fed into a high-speed rotor, that cuts the vines into smaller pieces and discharges them back down to the ground.
