Spiked!

A few designs have the spikes bent upwards at the ends but I don't see what that is supposed to achieve.

The spikes are for guiding the potatoes up while the soil falls between them and then drop them on top for easy picking. Any upward bend will just get them stuck.

So that's basically it. The angle of attack looks too steep now, before it looked too shallow. But since it goes on a three-point hitch, I can adjust it some by tilting the frame.

Next for some clamps to attach it to said frame.
