James T Posted October 11, 2009 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.

James T Posted October 12, 2009 Author 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! Quote
Deere-est Posted October 12, 2009 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

archbarch Posted October 12, 2009 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
