@@MalcPearce Malc being an "Old Suffolk boy" myself, tractors hold a certain fascination, and at 76 years young I've seen lots of them but sadly never owned one, but I live in hope. Best wishes to you and the team, thank you.

We all know that engineers invent machines and we should all admire their teaching and work but here you can see that the boss has some really excellent operators of the machinery and an applause is necessary for them.

That is a Bye Engineering Wonder Wheel - basically it is designed to stop irrigation water running away too quickly when the irrigators are working. It slows down the flow and helps the water stay where it is needed. "The Wonder Wheel developed by Bye Engineering intercepts rain and irrigation water; greatly reduces water run-off and soil erosion; reduces losses of soil, nutrients and agrochemicals; conserves water and alleviates bed compaction. Leading tines generate a suitable route for wheeling water, as well as heaving the edge of the bed to increase water infiltration. Secondary tines generate free soil ready for moulding and the moulding wheels shape and consolidate the soil in the wheeling. The profiles generated are “heaps and hollows” which continuously catch and dam running water in small quantities." - Norfolk Rivers Trust website. Hope this helps.

@@MalcPearce When I worked on tobacco farms in Zimbabwe in the 1980s, they had a similar need for a machine to do that between the tobacco rows. They called it a potholer. It was working on 2 rows like this machine but it had egg shaped wheels with spade lugs for grip, and it had an arm behind it with a spade on it that dug short shallow hole every time the egg wheel went onto the low side. The irrigation ponded in the hole and no erosion.
