A digger-shaker adapted to dig two rows of growing peanut laden plants and shake soil therefrom is provided with two carrier belts disposed at the rear thereof and spaced transversely from each other adapted to intercept the peanut plants as they are discharged by the digger-shaker, support them nearer the root portions than the tops of the foliage, move them rearwardly from the digger-shaker while thus supported whereby the foliage of the plants falls inwardly between the spaced carriers until not above horizontal, and then discharge the plants to the ground with the peanuts spaced away from the ground. The digger-shaker is also provided with an improved conveyor for elevating the peanut laden plants in which a front idler wheel is not journaled on the frame with an outwardly projecting bearing and additional idler wheels direct the conveyor along an irregular path to improve its soil removing properties.
