What an exciting and busy place to be for you, Jordan!!

If you do ever find yourself in a T6090, make sure you don't get to far away from one of those many bowsers. .... the diesel tank won't last a day on heavy work! Well done NH on that one  ::):laugh:

Anyway, going to enjoy this topic mate, I'll be learning with you I reckon.  :) :)

cheers for the NH advice tris, more than happy for you to learn with me, i hope i can be informative and take many pictures of this side of farming as not many people see it, they only see the crisps and not the technology involved in growing, harvesting and storing the product

ive got all the fun to come with the irrigation pipes ;D , i should get to see some proper machinery action during the carrot harvest as i only got employed by them about a month ago now just as they were finshing off the last few hundred acres of spuds so i only did some hauling and a bit fo grading work but my main job is store managment.

we have spread all the poultry muck but i dont think i have talked about any fastracs, the contractor has one but never seen it

They used to have atleast four of them about 15- 20 years ago.

So who is the largest spud grower in Telford area?

(Maddocks/Bubbs/Udales/Solarri(?)/Heaths)
