Spring garlic. Harvesting and cutting at the same time

In this post, we continue to speak about spring garlic harvesting. But at this time, with another machinery: a harvester-cutter. This machine has a cutting disk which cuts stem of garlic (its height is adjustable).  It falls over on the soil and the bulbs of the garlic are stored in boxes or sacks (they can be of different sizes). Thus, the harvested garlic in a day are picking up in stores and, e.g., we can prevent theft. As garlic are a little tender, we need to put them into a dryer room if we don't want garlic can rot.

These machinery aren't used frequently in our area, but their use is a good option because as they don't have tyer, they don't generate problems normally. There are machines of one row, two rows (we think they are the best), four rows and five rows (the last two aren't use due to its big complex: for example they have over 30 hydraulic engines).

The pictures were sent by our friend Miguel Ángel from Chinchón. Thank you very much again for your collaboration.
