The invention relates to a beet puller share having a base part which comprises a cutting edge, wherein one or several hard material elements which form deflecting faces on their top surfaces are arranged in the region of the cutting edge, wherein the deflecting faces transition into a surface region of the base part, and wherein the surface region forms a beet guiding zone, in particular, a beet ejecting zone. To improve the service life of the beet puller share and to improve the harvest yield connected therewith, it is provided according to the invention that the hard material elements are realized as cutting elements which form the cutting edge at least in regions and that the deflecting face of at least one cutting element is convexly curved and merges into the convexly curved beet guiding zone, in particular, beet ejecting zone.

A tractor-assisted multi-row harvester for root vegetables includes adjacent pairs of a lifting share and a picker and a pair of traction assemblies, for example in the form of endless track assemblies, one of which being behind and registered with at least one of the adjacent pairs of a lifting share and picker and being motorized and energized so as to compensate at least partially for pressure on the lifting shares. The harvester includes sensors on the motorized traction assembly and/or on the lifting shares that generates signal(s) indicative of the pressure on the lifting shares and that is used to control the motorized traction assembly to compensate for the pressure.

The present invention relates to an insert for a share for uprooting root crop, the insert having a first end adapted to form a portion remote from a cutting edge of the share, and a second end comprising an insert edge extending along an insert edge axis and adapted to form at least a portion of the cutting edge of the share, characterized in that the thickness of the insert, from the first end to the second end increases continuously and the second end has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first end. Further, the present invention relates to the replacement shares of root crop harvesting machines.

An apparatus for harvesting rhizomes includes a chassis to move in a field. Coulter disks mounted on a forward end of the chassis break up soil on a top surface of the field. Digger blades aft of the coulter disks scoop clusters of rhizomes from the field with adhered soil. An inclined ramp on the chassis has a live bottom that pushes the rhizome clusters up the ramp in the aft direction including upright posts that force the clusters of rhizomes against depending obstructers extending downward from superstructure bars toward the live bottom. As the clusters encounter the obstructers, the clusters are broken to reduce their size and to loosen and separate soil from the rhizomes. A collector aft of the live bottom collects rhizomes falling from an aft end of the inclined ramp.
