Richard de Florennes Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 seen on my way back home from a business journey, when an almost emty fuel tank of my car forced me to leave the highway when searching for a petrol station. Having topped of fuel I made a "cut" between two highways - and the 20 miles through the country side lead me to a field where I - for the first time ever - saw four viners on one field!

How popular are FMC / PMD harvesters over there?? Very popular, vining over here sees either FMC/PMC or Ploegers involved. Almost never seen anything else ...

Deere-est Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I can imagine you must have been like a child on Christmas day when you too that short cut between the two highways. What a sight to see, it looks like the drivers even positioned themselves for the perfect photos you have taken Sascha, brilliant!! :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I can imagine you must have been like a child on Christmas day when you too that short cut between the two highways. What a sight to see, it looks like the drivers even positioned themselves for the perfect photos you have taken Sascha, brilliant!! :) :) it was and thanks for the nice feedback. I read just now ... Anyway, as you all now, I am a big row-crop (sugar beet, potato farming) fan. This interest has even grown when watching the great video DVD "Monsters of the Sugar Beet Field" (second sight productions), recommended to me by Gavin (thans for that). Has most of the great machinery shown there is virtually almost non-existend in Germany with the exception of the big monsters like Holmer, Ropa and Grimme 6-row self-propelled mashines, I asked myself, how to see something like the great "Gilles" 2-phase harvesting system featuring one tractor with topper (front mounted) and lifting unit (back) plus a self-propelled or towed loader. Well, after long search tours I found and least something similar in Germany, but the results where few and far betwen. However, recently I found an article, that my deserved systems are rather the rule than the exception in Belgium and France. Therefore, arranged a business trip yesterday leading me through a sunny Central Belgium. Here are the results, beginning at early morning haze, when these two tractors and trailers alerted my attention. I could not the any harvestor, but then something came out from behind the trees and bushes ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 passing by on the main road (sorry for the quality, but this is a real snap-shot) was this beauty most of us know very well from our childhood's toy collection ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
