EVERGREEN ADVANTAGES:

1.  The Terog rock rollers are more expensive than the factory standard equipment but offer superior performance and longer life. 
2.  The chain pattern of 2 down-1 straight cushion forms a "3 Link" pocket that assures maximum elevator capacity.  The elimination of all flights and pegs also lets us minimize the clearance (drop) required at all transitions.
3.  With the factory option of only two rollers to support the return of the diviner chain the links rub on the UHMW fenders. With the 12 roller package the links are suspended above the fenders.
4.  Most Basin soil conditions will require a star table in the separating system to reach the harvester capacity you desire.  The rear cross star table completes the dirt separation early in the harvest cycle providing maximum harvest capacity and consistently clean loads.
5.  The raised trash roller with deflector eliminates trash build-up on the back of the rear cross table.  This eliminates sporatic clumps of trash being delivered into the truck.
6.  This modification relocates the star table in relation to the side elevator and adds crop control units to  assure loss free feeding and an even load across the entire elevator.
7.  The rear ladder is added to give easy access to the rear cross and side elevator. 
8.  The bruise guard on the sides of the elevator eliminates tuber roll-back on the chain belt runs.
9.   Both front and rear traction rollers on the "S" drive are changed from 1" wide 3 1/2" diameter rollers (standard factory) to 2" wide 10" diameter rollers.   This provides better chain wrap on the "S" drive sprocket assuring positive elevator drives.
10. The cleaned crop is concentrated in a 36" wide conveyor to aid bruise free truck loading.  This means that, in high capacity harvesting, the truck boom will be full.  The combination of the "C" flex with ears chain and our modified side elevator to truck boom transition allows the truck boom to carry high capacity loads with virtually no tuber damage.   Customers are very pleased with the result.
11. Evergreen first experimented with a front blower in 1990.  Since then, continual improvements have been made in both performance and reliability.  The present Lockwood factory option is a copy of our latest design and has proven to be very successful.  Major advantages over a rear blower are 1.) Lower horsepower consumption.  2.) Allows use of staggered secondary. 3.) Lower drop between secondary and rear cross.  4.) Minimum blower dust.  5.) Exceptionally clean loads.  6.) Better "dug vine" control.   7.) Allows effective use of vine choppers. 
12. Dual fan intake shutters allow positive adjustment of cleaning air flow.
13. The factory supplied lighting package is deficient in both light output and reliability.  We install six John Deere 3x5 Halogen Flood Lamps.  Customers have been pleased with this upgrade.
14. A stabilizer wheel is essential to assure machine stability at high harvesting speeds. 
15. We supply 32" coulters, chromed on one side to extend coulter life and allow "wearing sharp".
16. All of our machines are equipped with chrome digger blades and points for extended life.
17. Evergreen has developed a conveyor timing procedure that provides high capacity, bruise free harvest with no in-field changes.  Customers are supplied with complete chart for each machine.
18. A vine chopper could be the best investment you will ever make.  Here are the advantages: Chopped vines return to the ground where they grew.  No more vines on "undug" rows, in large piles or wrapped around drivelines.  Improved digging conditions aid non-stop, bruise-free harvest and chopped vines eliminate subsequent tillage problems.
