Bean Vining 2007.....

[NewHolland2]

Well the viners arrived early yesterday morning and have been working away since then.....Have managed plenty of snaps which I'll get up later.....Some of the night-time shots came out fairly well too.....I wait the development of the SLR night-time pictures which usually turn out better than the digi cam ones.....Am going to try the night-time pics again tonight with the digi to see if I can improve on last night's effort.....Will start getting the pictures up tomorrow once they've all left.....

Just a different header on the harvester as a rule, a narrow combine type head.

Come on Supermart, where's the pictures??

Not really mate.....As Jas said the only difference is the combine-type reel on the front.....However they can harvest them with a pea-type header if the crop is swathed before-hand.....In this case they were using the combine-type header.....

Cheers mate.....

This one has been on the peas and then onto the beans.....I think he must just hire it to ECV for as long as they need it.....They've also got one of Norman Jamieson's DAF's carting too.....

The first night's night-time pics I wasn't too happy with but better ones to come from the second night later.....However here's a few of the better ones......
