PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a root harvester in which a space on a traveling machine body is effectively utilized, and thereby a machine body width is compactly configured while the sorting operation by an auxiliary worker can satisfactorily be performed.SOLUTION: A root harvester includes an extraction conveying device 2, a storage device 6, and a relay conveying device 5. The relay conveying device 5 includes a sideways conveyor 50 having a conveyance surface for mounting and conveying crops on a top side and capable of conveying the crops to the opposite side from the one side in the horizontal direction. The storage device 6 is disposed in a machine body inward side place in the horizontal direction from a conveyance end position of the sideways conveyor 50. An auxiliary boarding part 13 enabling an auxiliary worker to get on is provided between the extraction conveying device 2 and the storage device 6 at a rear side place of the sideways conveyor 50 and in the horizontal direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】走行機体上のスペースを有効利用して、補助作業者による選別作業を良好に行えるものでありながら機体横幅をコンパクトに構成する。【解決手段】抜き取り搬送装置2と、格納装置6と、中継搬送装置5とが備えられ、中継搬送装置5は、上面側に作物を載置して搬送する搬送面を有して左右方向での前記一方側から反対側へ作物を搬送可能に構成された横向きコンベア50を備え、格納装置6は横向きコンベア50の搬送終端位置よりも左右方向での機体内方側寄り箇所に配設され、横向きコンベア50の後方側箇所で、かつ左右方向で抜き取り搬送装置2と格納装置6との間に、補助作業者が搭乗可能な補助搭乗部13が設けられている。【選択図】図2
