Gav836 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's a whole new leg thats needed John, can't get just feet for them as its a one piece item. Boss did say that it was only a matter of time before one gave way. Just worried about it getting jammed in the de-stoner if we can't find it, can do without another web breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bed formed that bit today and no sign of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i used to run in with the bedformer on markers,do 5 fresh beds then come back in to the 'filler' rows & work across the field so sort of got a pattern of a new bed down the field & & filler back up , worked well although sideling work really tested my patience , as the machine wants to crab down while trying to keep a decent bed for the destoner to follow , you usually end up with some quite narrow beds ! i also used to have a 400 litre front tank to inject liquid fert whilst bedtilling/forming although , have also had the tank on the planter as well , very much depended who i was working for at the time as to what system was used. sorry gav off mumbling again whats your system gav ?

Gav836 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well I'm back on the markers now so just either start against the straight hedge or with a straight one across the field and work my way across, will do a few runs then go back through them although I've stopped doing them twice at the minute after I was asked if I was recreational cultivating by the boss as he didn't see any reason why I was doing them twice : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Some great pictures you have made there. I think this question is asked before but why are the stones going back on the field? texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks Baz. If the stones is removed completely it will ruin the soil structure for the future, just put them inbetween the beds where they can get spread out again during cultivations after the potato crop is removed.
