TSP 1900
The Standen TSP 1900 is a tractor-drawn sweet potato harvester designed to harvest
two rows of sweet potatoes, clean, grade and load them into trailers running alongside.
Tractor Suitability
The recommended tractor for the TSP 1900 is four-wheel drive with 134 kW (180 bhp).
This power may need to be varied to achieve optimum output under different crop
conditions and depending on the specification of the harvester.
The harvester requires a constant hydraulic oil supply from the tractor of a minimum 50
litres/minute (80 litres/minute maximum) with a low back pressure/free return to the
tractor. A load-sensed oil supply above this figure is recommended. Also required is a
12volt D.C. negative earth power supply rated at 50 amps to feed the electrical control
system.
Three control consoles operate the electrical and hydraulic functions of the harvester.
The in-cab console fitted inside the tractor, the boom operator’s console fitted on the
harvester rear platform, and the speed control junction box fitted on the RH side of the
harvester.
The TSP1900 can be towed from either the tractor pick-up hitch hook or from the tractor
clevis hitch. If towed from the clevis hitch, the optional ring spacer (item 1, fig 1)) must
be used to eliminate chop on the clevis pin.
Tractor Wheel Setting
Both the front and rear wheels of the tractor must be set to straddle the bed to be lifted.
This will ensure the wheels run in the centre line of the wheelings. The instructions for
adjusting the tractor wheels are given in the tractor manufacturer's handbook.
When carrying out wheel adjustments, always place the jack on firm
ground under a solid part of the tractor. Before removing a wheel, place a
stout support under the tractor frame in case the jack should become
dislodged.
Before starting work, check that the machine is in a safe working condition.
Check components that could work loose during operation such as wheel
nuts, chains, sprockets and share arms etc. These checks are especially
important during the first week of work.
Pay attention to the maintenance and lubrication instructions within this
handbook and pay particular attention to the safety precautions, they are
written as a guide to protect you and others.
