PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a root crop harvester in which a harvest storage container can be lowered to a position free of hindrance for operation run without requiring moving of the machine, by means of a recovery container discharging device of a harvest recovery part.SOLUTION: The root crop harvester includes a pulling-up/carrying device (2) for pulling up and carrying crops and a crop recovery part (4) for recovering crops into a recovery container, with the two sections structured dividedly on both sides of a body frame (1a). In addition, the harvester includes a taking-over/carrying device (3) for taking over the two sections, by arranging in-between in a manner capable of running the field. Also, a recovery container discharging device (11) is included which supports the recovery container by facing at the carrying end of the taking-over/carrying device (3) and which discharges and moves the container outside the machine. This recovery container discharging device (11) is freely attachably detachably installed in the rear side of the machine behind the taking-over/carrying device (3) and the crop recovery part (4), thereby making the recovery container movable and dischargeable backward of the machine.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】作物回収部の回収容器排出装置により、収穫物の収容容器を作業走行に支障の無い位置に、機体移動を要することなく降ろすことができる根菜類収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】根菜類収穫機は、作物を引抜搬送する引抜搬送装置(2)および作物を回収容器に回収する作物回収部(4)を機体フレーム(1a)の両側部に分けて構成し、両者間を引き継ぐ引継搬送装置(3)を間に配置して圃場走行可能に構成され、前記引継搬送装置(3)の搬送終端に臨んで回収容器を支持するとともに、機外に排出移動させる回収容器排出装置(11)を備え、この回収容器排出装置(11)を前記引継搬送装置(3)及び前記作物回収部(4)よりも機体後側に着脱自在に設けることにより、収容容器を機体後方に移動排出可能とするものである。【選択図】図1
