An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The early spinners were horse drawn, and were powered by a land drive wheel connected by a gear box to the spinner mechanism. These machines were often adapted to be pulled by a tractor Drawbar when farms obtained a tractor. Later versions were PTO driven and were mounted on the Three-point Linkage. The biggest 'problem was the potatoes had to be picked up by hand from the floor but it was avast improvement from digging them out with a fork by hand. In some areas the children had time off school to harvest the potato crop in the autumn.
