AndyB Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 These are three of our viners at work the other morning - 5am when i start work!!! The two FMCs are being replaced at the end of this season with two more PMCs like the one in the backgound. Hope it is of interest, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Superb pics - I'm really getting interested in these Pea Viners now FP - I don't think there is any actual difference between FMC and PMC, they are the same company, but got renamed for some reason. Sounds like an interesting set up working all hours of the day but I expect can be a drag for the blokes doing the work. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 This is an FMC (an "R"-reg from memory) Sorry, it's the only pic I've been able to get so far this year ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Interesting the viners were from Anglian Pea Growers I took some photo's of a pair of their 979-CTs in June: http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=9050.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Fully agree, would not have cropped the picture like that though Whats 'cropped' that is how i took the photo - i am no expert, more luck than judgement!!! Ploeger did buy FMC hence PMC and yes FP they are very good machines well built and easy to set up maintain etc. which is a good job because the one Ploeger that we do have is regularly being maintained!!! The other major reason for us not going for the green and yellow is that they are two harsh on the peas - a lot of damage. FMC/PMC are very gentle on young peas, which is the quality that we are after. That R reg photo looks like our old machines do, once we have finished with them they are cut up. The new PMCs have a Claas cab and auger system as developed by our engineers also auto inflate/deflate tyre systems amongst other minor upgrades.

JC Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Cheers for the info Andy.... keep it quiet about the ploegers though, you might effect my sales!! :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I am sure your models are plenty gentle enough - they sure look the part. They are probably very reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
