MJB1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 looks great Dave, also the other new stuff on your website. the only one I've seen recently looks a bit different (not sure of the make) nice pic JP can't see what make it is either, toss up between a grimme & a reekie from what i can see, most machines are much of a muchness , the only thing daves model is lacking is a moveable rear conveyor, most conveyors are 4mtrs long , but fold up for transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 looks great Dave, also the other new stuff on your website. the only one I've seen recently looks a bit different (not sure of the make) I would guess a Reekie 330SA by the look of it John...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 so does it collect the stones up ? On the smaller compact tractors they use a Stone Burier which hides the stone under the soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 so does it collect the stones up ? On the smaller compact tractors they use a Stone Burier which hides the stone under the soil Some have a steel box on the back and collect the stones,once on the head land they are tipped out into a trailer.The idea is realy only for land with almost no stones in it to start with.

JohnP Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have heard of a farmer in South Yorks who di d totally clear a heavily stoned piece of land only for it to become a useless muddy bog ! One thing is not to rip too deep when cultivating so as to leave the sub layer undisturbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the smaller compact tractors they use a Stone Burier which hides the stone under the soil no mike , it basicaly sieves the soil where the potato's will be planted & moves the stones to oneside, usually into the wheel markings I have heard of a farmer in South Yorks who di d totally clear a heavily stoned piece of land only for it to become a useless muddy bog ! One thing is not to rip too deep when cultivating so as to leave the sub layer undisturbed. same happened down here john , the farmer now has approx 20 -25 acres of unworkable ground , the soil has packed down solid,to hard to work when its dry & & makes a right mess when it's wet all setaside now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
