Abstract
The invention relates to a harvester for harvesting a root crop, and more in particular for harvesting potatoes. For that purpose, the root crop and attached soil material is guided towards a rotating helically shaped conveyor track (4). This conveyor track (4) is provided with sieve openings, which remove attached soil material from the root crop during transportation. Preferably, the helically shaped conveyor track is made of synthetic tubing or rods, which can be bought on a roll.
