farmernick06 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well after yesterdays blunder with the camera battery i finally got down today to get some pictures of Barkers planting .. well you tell me. The last time they used these machines they were cabbages so not sure if these are cabbages? But got some good pictures it's interesting how they do them First up a John Deere 7920 just leaving with a Jones engineering bedformer, just got the ground ready for them to get going. And second pictures if of the huge salad trailers they use, basically full up with pallets with crates of the plants they're putting in the ground. You'll see them loading up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Some more angles of the big trailers full up the crates you'll see what i mean in a second Luckily no one was around at this point they were in the field planting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Another trailer this one full to brim practically and the slow moving sign on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Last shot of the trailers and then onto the actual planting with the old Deeres, basically i think the tractors are on cruise control and then the two guys at the back just walk behind almost patting them into the ground if they haven't already gone in \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 The boss turned up with his child to see what was going on, that was the point i realised they were all German. I stayed though and stood by the side of the bike on my field and got some really dirty looks > Don't blame them but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
