PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a root crop harvester effective for reducing the hard work to pull out and transport root crops and to move a container containing crops after cutting leaves and stalks, and enabling efficient work without interrupting the work.SOLUTION: Root crops are pulled out from the field disposed on the right-hand or left side of a traveling body 2 and transported by a pulling and transporting apparatus 3, and the crops are received from the transporting apparatus by a selective transporting apparatus 7 and selectively transported to the right-hand, left and the other side and held in a container 6 placed on a deck 17 after delivery. The harvester is further provided with a distribution transporting apparatus 31 to receive the crops in the end part of the selective transporting apparatus 7 and to distribute and transport the crops, and a partition member 32 placed on the transporting apparatus 31 and switching one or more crop-discharging positions and, accordingly, the work for moving the container 6 fully charged with the crop and setting of an empty container 6 can be omitted to reduce the labor of the worker and improve the work efficiency.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】引抜搬送と茎葉切断後の作物を収容したコンテナを移動させる負担のかかる作業を軽減すると共に、作業を中断することなく効率よく作業を行うことのできる根菜類収穫機を提供すること。【解決手段】走行車体2の左右一側に設けた圃場から作物を引き抜き搬送する引抜搬送装置3から作物を受けて左右他側へ選別搬送装置7で作物を選別搬送し、搬送後に載置部17上に載置したコンテナ6に収容するとき、選別搬送装置7の終端部に作物を受けて振分搬送する振分搬送装置31と該搬送装置31上に一つ以上の作物の排出位置を切替自在な仕切部材32を設けたので、コンテナ6が作物で一杯になる度にコンテナ6を移動させて空のコンテナ6を設置する作業を省略することができ、作業者の労力が軽減されると共に作業能率が向上する。【選択図】図2
