Light Land Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 This odd looking bit of kit is used to pull stalks out of the bulbs while in the ground to save on labour in the pack house. 1100rpm @.5kph is the avg speed,if you go faster then you miss some stalks. The plates spin around and pushed togther for a split second thus pulling out the stalk as the plates are spining backwards. On row crop wheels the ride is a little rough because of the plates always pushing at each other. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 You can't many ppl that want to do that kind of work here,I reckon the bulbs should be trucked to one of our over full prisons and give them crim's a brake from there playstaions in the form of a few bulbs.

Tractorman810 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 yeah keep them busy eh,no most of that sort of buld work is done manually down here,suprised they havn't cottoned on to kit like that though,sure it would be cheaper over a few years compaired to 30/40 poles for 2/3 weeks even at what they pay them for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
