does this digger fold for transport and what horsepower tractor are you pulling it with. I'm guessing our 8420 would handle it.

@MultiBaldEagle

This digger does not fold for transport. We had an 8430 pulling it but an 8130 would pull it easy.

I do think they have an 8 row model that folds. I know their 12 row digger does.

I eat peanuts everyday and never really thought about how they were harvested,dug up ..whatever. Thanks for the video!

@dutch621 - Thanks for the info. I'd love to use an 8 row digger. Our 6 row KMC gets the job done on our 700 acres of peanuts just as quick as we used to with 2 4row diggers, but the 8 row would save a lot of time. Transport is the biggest issue. We also swapped in 2 4 row KMC combines for a 6 row Amadas Magnum Force and never missed a beat!
