In the last few days of fine-ish weather there's been loads of modern (Cat Challenger, new MF6480, Case quadtrack etc) and older machines (Ford 7840, Case 5130, etc etc) mainly cultivating/drilling/rolling or in the Potatos and the usual motley collection on hedge cutting duties. Unfortunatley I've been on a direct route somewhere, on the motorway or out for a run, so no camera or no stopping ! Highlight was a pristine MF35 and tined cultivator near Pocklington but was out with the Boss (to York shopping-bah !)

saw a jd 7430 today lifting spuds, but on normal wheels, and to top it off, on doubles front and rear on the "offside" so to speak??????? and not the other side, why would you run it like that then???? and on normal wheels not rows like most other pics i see ,it certainly didnt look wet, not much soil clumping on the wheels, or on the road where the trailers were coming out

hauling was a jd?? and marston, and a mf and marston

JRO Griffiths run tractors like this. what they do is run a few tractors on row crops with customised tattie harvester that put 6 rows worth of spuds into the middle of 2 rows and then the tractor with the harvester only has to run on normal or flotation tires

cheers jordan, so what are the benifits of this way then??? suerly if your lifting 6 rows anyway, then why not drop them right into a trailer there and then?? rather than drop them on the floor, then go back again to pick them all up again??, thats 2 passes to harvest them, with the associated cherry costs and manhours to
