Abstract
The inverter section of a peanut digger-shaker-inverter comprises two downwardly and inwardly inclined squirrel cage reels and associated inverting tine sets. Each reel includes spaced discs having undulating peripheries and adjacent pairs of the tines have portions straddling a disc and curving similarly thereto opposite the valleys of the undulations so that peanut plants are bumped and agitated, and thereby cleaned, while being fed along and supported by these portions of the tines.
