Thanks for all the feedback, the red Fendt was once upon a time operated by one of the largest contractors in our region; Kappertz-Rheinhausen (see http://www.kappertz-agrarservice.de/'>http://www.kappertz-agrarservice.de/); they have all their implements painted red.

Yes they are spreading compost (thus no pain in the nose ;-))

I just find out that the URL mentioned above because one part of the URL contains a evil English word for bottom; so it is correct http://www.kappertz-agrar service.de/ and then make agrar and service one word without space ;-)

However on the way to the location I found a Renault operating, "forcing" me to stop for a minute:

and after a difficult search I found a pack of three tractors about to begin preparing a new carrot field just before sun-set.

They are operated by Brocker, a large Carrot company operating on some 400 acres (only carrots, all fields leased by local farmers in our area, as after carrots there as to be kept a time of at least five years until carrots can be grown on the same field again, due to nematodes. Brocker operates 13 John Deere tractors of the size shown here and two old Internationals restored two years ago, used for seeding as an experiment and now used for this purpose on a rgular manner as the small tractor offers some advantages, regarding soil compaction and fuel consumption ...
