Patriot RT1700

Pressure Sensing Diablos

The ScanStone Patriot RT comes with the pressure sensing diablos. The machine comes with full or half diablos for different soil conditions and potato varieties. The diablos are completely adjustable across various row widths and assist with the feed in of the crop into the machine. They also are used to control the depth of the share, to minimise any cut potatoes

Depth Wheels

Positioned above the top of the row, the depth wheels are effective in heavy conditions where the soil does not need so much assistance into the front of the machine. Depth wheels have no compaction of the row at all, and are also used for controlling the depth of the share.

Cleaning Rollers

The cleaning rollers within the Patriot RT harvester are situated after the Dahlman table. There are two pairs of extraction rollers which can be rubber or steel, and they are used to finally clean the crop before presenting it onto the picking table or into the cart elevator. Each plain roller has a direct drive, so speed and direction adjustment can be done inside the tractor cab. The extraction rollers can also be adjusted to and from the spiral rollers. This is manual adjustment out-with the tractor controls.

Dahlman Roller Table

The Patriot RT comes standard with a Dahlman cleaning table. This alternates between plain and spiral rollers and has an independent pump to power it. The angle of the Dahlman cleaning table is 0-7 degrees, which gives an excellent run off of the crop in dry conditions.
