JC Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 just wondered can you havest beans with a combine Yes, but the ones done with a combine go for feed. They are gown earlier than these ones pictured in this topic, or so I believe and left to dry out in the sun just the same as grain etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nice fleet there - apart from the cab they don't seem to have changed much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Excellent shots mate! I have some pix of the beans that go for animal feed (noticed they were about to be combined in Fife on Friday morning). I'll post these when I return home tomorrow.

BC Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 cracking pics mart , often see doug mitchell's lorries up this way, he's usually carting machinery to and from the machinery sale when its on. Yes Doug Mitchell has a nice looking fleet and all Volvo's I think. He a fine chap and attends many of the vintage shows with some of his classic tractors.

NewHolland2 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nice fleet there - apart from the cab they don't seem to have changed much You're right there mate.....They haven't changed too much.....The rear end on the CT is differnt from the AT so presumable something internally is different..... Excellent shots mate! I have some pix of the beans that go for animal feed (noticed they were about to be combined in Fife on Friday morning). I'll post these when I return home tomorrow. Thanks James.....Sounds good mate.....Look forward to the pics..... Yes Doug Mitchell has a nice looking fleet and all Volvo's I think. He a fine chap and attends many of the vintage shows with some of his classic tractors. I know he used to have one or two DAF's.....Not seen any of those for a long while now so perhaps he is fully Volvo now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Never seen a viner with a reel on the front! That PMC 979-CT looks the part with that Claas Vista cab!! Nice pics Mart and pleased you brought us these pics even though it was freezing cold and getting late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Nice pics mate, Intresting to see how they are harvested, how do the machines unlaod then? cant recall any unloading pics Cheers mate.....The beans collect in a hopper on the machine which is then tipped into the Marston trailer and then into the lorry for road transport..... Try last year's harvest topic for some tipping pictures..... http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=10414.0 Never seen a viner with a reel on the front! That PMC 979-CT looks the part with that Claas Vista cab!! Nice pics Mart and pleased you brought us these pics even though it was freezing cold and getting late! Thanks Luke.....Last year they were harvested with the normal combing header on the front but had to be swathed first however they can go directly into the crop with the reel on..... The cold and dark is all part of the fun..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I take it they're edible beans, which processing plant are they off to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 I take it they're edible beans, which processing plant are they off to? As far as I know mate yes.....They go to Alpine Foods Coldstore in Dundee (a 15 minute drive from this field depending on traffic).....

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 East Coast Viners currently supplies major supermarkets and other frozen pea and broad bean buyers all over the UK. Export sales are also being cultivated in Spain, Portugal, Israel, Canada and other international markets So Mart your next door beans could be in my Tesco next week! Did you take any home for yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 So Mart your next door beans could be in my Tesco next week! Did you take any home for yourself? I know....Quite a thought eh..... I didn't actually mate, the garden provided enough beans for a bloomin' army this year.....So I've been beaned out..... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
