SUMMARY
The NIPLO BL-105 is a tractor-mounted conveyor digger designed primarily for harvesting potatoes, taro, and short-rooted carrots. The digging section lifts the crop together with the soil, while the conveyor separates the soil and leaves the harvested crop exposed on the ground for easier collection.
With a 105 cm digging width, the BL-105 offers efficient harvesting with a calculated work capacity of 38 to 76 minutes per 10 a. The standard configuration is intended for tractors in the 18 to 30 PS range.
Although sweet potatoes are not listed among the manufacturer's primary recommended crops for this standard configuration, BL-series standard diggers are also used for sweet potato harvesting in actual field conditions. Real-world examples can be seen in the videos below.
FEATURES
- 105 cm digging width: Provides a practical working width for efficient root-crop harvesting in suitable row and field conditions.
- Conveyor soil separation: Crops are lifted together with the soil, and the conveyor separates much of the soil before placing the harvested crop back onto the ground.
- Easier manual collection: By exposing the harvested crop on the soil surface, the machine makes it easier to locate and collect crops after digging.
- Primary recommended crops: The manufacturer's standard BL-105 configuration lists potatoes, taro, and short-rooted carrots as its main applications.
- Sweet potato harvesting in actual field use: Standard BL-type diggers are also used in practice for sweet potato harvesting. Sweet potatoes are not listed among the manufacturer's primary recommended crops for this configuration, so suitability may vary depending on crop and field conditions.
-
Up to 10 cm digging depth: The digging depth can be adjusted down to a maximum of approximately 10 cm below the furrow bottom.
