Abstract
A root vegetable harvesting machine has a root vegetable topping and digging unit attached at the front. The root vegetable topping and digging unit is divided into at least two root vegetable topping and digging elements which can be carried by a main frame or individual frames in order to achieve greater working widths for root vegetable harvesting machines. The root vegetable topping and digging elements are mounted so as to be movable independently of one another. The root vegetable topping and digging unit design allows for harvesting more than six rows of root vegetable.
