PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a root vegetable harvesting machine which can avoid adhesion of mud and cut the fibrous roots at the bottom edge of the root vegetable successfully.SOLUTION: The harvesting machine is provided with a rotary blade 31 which cuts the fibrous roots at the bottom edge of a root vegetable a lifted and transported in a hung posture from a field by rotating around a lateral shaft center in the machine body and a guidance part 32 which is located in the outer periphery of a movement route of the a rotary blade 31 and guides the bottom edge of the transported root vegetable a to the rotary blade 31 and regulates the inserted length of the bottom edge of the root vegetable into the rotary blade movement route. A guidance part 32 includes a rotation guide member 33 which rotates around the shaft center lateral in the machine body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】泥土の付着を回避して根菜の下端のひげ根の切断を良好に行えるようにすることが可能な根菜収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】圃場から吊り下げ姿勢で持ち上げ搬送される根菜aの下端のひげ根を機体横向きの軸芯周りで回転することにより切り落とす回転刃31と、回転刃31の移動経路の外周側に位置し、搬送される根菜aの下端部を回転刃31に案内するとともに根菜下端部の回転刃移動経路への入り込み長さを規制する案内部32とが備えられ、案内部32が、機体横向きの軸芯周りで回転する回転式ガイド部材33を備えて構成されている。【選択図】図4
