Richard de Florennes Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The usual Saturday/Sunday tour to my parents normally brings a lot of farming action most of the year, however, the season really seems to be over now, as this was the only farmer seen active that day. Luckily, instead of quantity, I was rewarded with this quality - a very rare big John Deere (in our region) with an even more rare Kleine KR2 two-row beet harvester: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 There are some nice photo's of the Deere basking in the sunshine while in the distance it looks like the clouds threaten rain. As usual, a delight to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 why do they tip them on the field not cart them straight off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 why do they tip them on the field not cart them straight off Yes that's the normal procedure here: every farmer here gets just a few slot days during the whole four-months sugar beet season to deliver his sugar beets to the sugar factory in relation to his total area of sugar beet fields. As our farmer never know if the weather will be good during slot days, the beets are harvested a few days or even weeks before delivery date. They are stored at one end of the field until loaded onto contractor lorries on the delivery date, this is normally done by the ROPA Euromaus loading/cleaning system, older Holmer elevator and/or front-loader or digger with beet basket. Ok? The times when farmer brought their beets to the sugar factory themselves by tractor and trailer are almost over here since many years (1990s). We also have almost no root trailers here in operation alongside sugar beet harvesters ... How is it done in the UK nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
