To reduce mechanical damage to potato caused by potato digger while it works, two kinds of Gansu potato were Researched in compression, moisture content of about 56.8%, 5 different loading rates, three different loading directions, and Experiment results were analyzed in significant difference. The significant results show that loading direction significantly affected on rupture force, the loading rate on the rupture force was extremely significant, varieties of potato significantly affected on compression deformation. Difference analysis results show that loading direction of different pairs not significantly affected on rupture forces, X amount of deformation of the potato was greater. Loading rate 15mm/min, 25 mm/min and 35 mm/min on the rupture force were significantly affected, and loading rate of 45 mm/min and 55 mm/min on the rupture force of impact was consistent, and differences in varieties significantly affected on deformation.
