Great to see a tidy Todd Beet cleaner" I spent many hours loading those when we used to grow Sugarbeet in Worcestershire, Great cleaners until the chaines get worn"! Thanks for the posting,.
I went round the Spalding beet factory .Many years ago fascinating place. Great video as always, lovely to see Lincolnshire and many of the places I frequented as a youth.
I remember going to the Newark factory with my farther as a child with the Tractor & Trailer and a load of Beet ( Heath & Safety) the trailer did not tip, so we had to go under the Washer to unload. Tank you for posting, your videos are so interesting
Massey drill takes me back. Fitted loads of Reekie harrows, extra springs, markers and tramline kits to them in the past. Most sought after bit on them now is the wheels and tyres for restorers.
Great Videos, 👍I went round York factory late 90s for a visit with Young Farmers, then went back 2008 to demolish it!! Been back several times to dig trial/test holes. It's a empty site now, I think British Sugar are sitting on the site waiting for the right buyer!!
Thanks for the update Andrew. Watching your video regarding the large dyke on your land got me thinking the rain that drains of your fields has a great distance to travel to get over here to Boston thanks again.
I'm amazed your beet isn't sprouting in the heap - our roots were so warm when we lifted it a fortnight ago there was 3-4" fresh top growth in the heap within a week, and our heap is only 10' high. Our sugars averaging 17%, yield about 70t/ha, dirt 5%. (into Newark Factory) KWS Janinika is the variety
Always good to take the lads for extra eyes and ideas. Those grain pushers looked like Ceres but they had no manufacturer stickers. Are they Ceres? But made for another firm to label as theirs? Crops looking very good so far. Was that an old light house at about 21.35. Looking forward to the beet factory tour, don't rush the edit Andrew. Cheers.
Definitely, I always welcome their thoughts. They are made by the same people who make the Proforge equipment but looked identical to the Ceres pushers. This mild weather is great for crops.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard Pro forge. It's good for crops at the moment but what would the disease pressure be if we don't get any frost over the winter?
We tried a small area but we couldn’t find a plough which turned the soil over and buried everything on this heavy soil. So we’ve got rid of it without changing our machinery, stopping growing winter wheat and continuous spring barley in bad fields, don’t drill anything before Oct 20 th on the rest, don’t let any seed at all (round up bad areas on the growing crop).
Frustrating with weather for lifting sugar beet and planting cereals. Hopefully they'll be a break soon. Must always be a good feeling to put Winter Cereal drilling to bed.
No need for health and safety if yo are an eco warrior on the M25 the term used naked on site used many times to me by the safety chap if caught without appropriate gear on happy days

Ours has had a continental web for years but I well remember having to retrieve all the old types chains from inside a lorry covered in beet!
Excellent informative video thankyou for posting.

I went around Spalding beet factory too, as a student in about 1981
It’s a great county!

Not many tractors go in now.

Househams made all the transport kits and under platform harrows before they started making sprayers.

I think they are.
That 10m simba is a fantastic project. Especially if it’s cheap enough and you can have it reinforced properly. New axles. 👌👌
There’s no room in the frame to reinforce where it’s needed most,
Great video Andrew, nice machinery for sale. Ruben and Tom searching for a plough for a plough for the 8rx.
They detest ploughing as much as me!
Great interesting update once again, just loving Narla's interest as usual. 👏👏👏👍
She great!
Must be the week for going equipment shopping haha. Great video again
Looks as Andrew kept his hand in his pocket!!!!
I certainly did!

It’s strange when you think of the route it’ll take!
Does sugar beet deteriorate overtime (sugar content reduce) after it has been harvested and is put in a clamp.
Yes
It does it heaped up like we do. The sugar drops. If it’s a smaller heap it’s not as bad.
I'm amazed your beet isn't sprouting in the heap - our roots were so warm when we lifted it a fortnight ago there was 3-4" fresh top growth in the heap within a week, and our heap is only 10' high.

We didn’t have any sprouting, 8 days heaped up. Sugar 17.6 but yield huge! Will be in Sundays vid!
Variety BTS 1915
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard We have some 1915 to lift
Will be interested to know how it does.
The sugar beet factory will be very interesting video.
It certainly will but it will also take some editing!

We don’t get frosts like we used to 20 years ago and crops are always better if we get some
Did you ever use ploughing to get rid of black grass

It’s not been an east few weeks but hopefully we’ll get some more wheat in over the weekend.
They’ve put a lot of new metal on that x-press for it to be on that state
We thought that too, I wouldn’t of bothered!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard It didn't help that for all there's a lot of new metal, it needs a wash and some new lights!
Riding on the back of a drill never seemed risky to me. If you fell off you weren't going far or fast.
Exactly.
Why don’t you clean a few trailers before the truck arrives
Which ones?
