Light Land Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Farmer's don't hang on to vining peas,because they gotta be processed asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Farmer's don't hang on to vining peas,because they gotta be processed asap The ones here go straight to be processed from the field in a steel bodied tipper...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Correct... unfortunately i couldn't get any decent wheels that were the right size both widthways and diameter, so I stuck with the original ones from the axle which were near enough the right diameter but a bit too narrow. I've had to loose some of the other detail on the machine to make it work from a moulding perspective also. Where are you based Sipher?? Lincolnshire, we have it all along the reclamed land from the sea, on the coast. Have you done much vinneing. I think the farm that has the 6 PMC harvests 10,000 acres of peas. Have you conisdered making the bean heading for the ploeger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 No unfortuntly we stopped the beans this year, they look just a combine header but they are the same width as the pea vinner header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Swath them and then pick them up with a combine is it. Neighbour's had these last year but the field was 10 miles away so didn't see them. All I do know is that my other neighbour was delighted as he got a full day out of it bringing them to the processing plant with a DX 6.61. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do know is that my other neighbour was delighted as he got a full day out of it bringing them to the processing plant with a DX 6.61. ;D You can direct cut fields beans with a combine but only when they are dead and at the ball bearing stage of seed hardness, these ones tend to go for protein feeds. The vining ones are cut green and go off for human consumption as Broad Beans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 That's probably it then Gav as it was around the first week of October that they cut them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 They are cut by combine around here too, they go for feed as far as I know...... some beans are swathed when green and then harvested directly after by machines such as the ploeger using its normal header.

Yeah that is right, dried beans are heavy as well, i burnt out the unloading auger belt on our Lexion with a full tank on them. Swathed ones would be the Broad Beans, i love combining the things though, so easy and you can go like hell with them :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
