Richard de Florennes Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 driving over the dry and flat areas of the harvested field parts allowed for directing the car's light directly on the harvesters which resulted in the following: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 unreachable by car and therefore a long shot only (I would have taken the long walk by feed if there was a more interesting harvester behind the nice Massey tractor, but it seems all farmers in our region either use these trailed grimme bunker harvesters of the 150 line or Wühlmaus/WM harvesters. Have only seen few loader harvesters so far ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 althoug the height of the harvester's bunker of course is sufficient for loading the beets directly onto the trailer, in this case an old HOLMER cleaning loader is used for creating a cleaner load: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 and the final picture before my camera refused to work due to empty batteries: a MB trac 1000 with big rollers and a microscopic front-mounted fertilizer Great pics as always keep them coming.
