James T Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Caught sight of this big beastie stationary in a field at Innerwick near Dunbar. One of the access panels seemed missing, exposing chains and cogs - perhaps a breakdown? No sign of driver or any workers nearby. For power station enthusiasts, the large white buildings are Torness Nuclear Power Station. A decade ago an RAF Tornado crashed less than one kilometre away in the Firth Of Forth after the crew safely guided the stricken aircraft clear of the station...

James T Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Lovely shots James..shame you didn't see it in action as well. Yeah I know Bill - would have loved some action shots - the light was excellent too. Didn't look like there was much left to do in that field or the surrounding area. There's some big machines in those parts - remember seeing a couple of tracked JDs charging down the A1 near here a couple of years ago!

Deere-est Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Those self propelled spud lifters just don't look strong enough for their size. Must be high quality steel. Would be a catch to see it working. . . Best keep an eye on that What make is the trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 great pics theyre a popular machine in the fens, in the last few years self propelled harvesters have taken off. I dont like nuclear power stations ever since visiting sellafield in the late 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
