MOST HATED JOB ON THE FARM!!!

Рет қаралды 73,079

Жыл бұрын

in todays video we are doing the most hated job on the farm opening the field of sugar beet so we can harvest it with our single row armor salmon harvester. the reason we open the field by hand is because the harvester will only trample the most of the beet we pulled.
Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

Great video again Phil. I worked with a farmer who used to grow beet. He would move out the wheels on a Massey 165 and span 3 drills and could pull the beet without too much hand pulling. Often done it by hand with frost on the leaves.

Hello Phil just watching you here pulling beat around the headlands of the field I can remember years ago my father and I doing this same thing then we realised it would be just as well to either leave a grass headland around the sugarbeet or as we did then grow spring barley round the outside headlands. So much easier Sugarbeat were difficult enough as it was 😊 I’m a farmer from Suffolk England not far from the Bury Saint Edmunds sugarbeet factory

We use to hit the beet together and the clay would fall off, then the whole plant was given to stock, we didn't have to pull it by hand to open the field it was done to feed cattle until harvester could pull the beet

Would it be worth grassing a tractor width round the headland and one through the middle of the field next time Phil? Can be mown and baled to keep tidy and make up for the loss of beet? Makes for a good video this way though.

back in the 70s used to pull a trailer load of turnips to feed to cattle late in afternoon every day ,often coverted in snow ,kept tractor MF165 running so that every so often when all feeling from hands lost due to cold you could wrap them round exhaust pipe to defrost them often painfull when blood rushed back to fingers ,occasionally they were frozen into ground and had to use a mell to knock them out

where abouts in north yorkshire did you used to go mangel pulling fella? we used to take 2 or 3 rows at a time and pull them and as you swung them across into the row chop the top off in the same movement !!! then another lad or 2 would come down with a trailer and a pitch fork each and spike em up 2at a time into the trailer!!! bloody donkey work when you think back,but was always a good laugh when mangel time came round each year ,good memories made over the years!!!

@mikeman584 Жыл бұрын

iantower6972 yes I recognise that technique alright used to have a heavy "snagging knife" and fork them into the trailer. Later on used to put them through an electric powered chopper feeding them in with the pitch fork and mix rolled corn and a couple of bales of hay into the fold yard. That was near Richmond N.Yorkshire just off Scotch Corner/ A1 to be precise. Like Farmer Phil I used to look forward to the tea and grub coming around but used to kill you for a while when you was bent over again. Good memories.

We did that years ago, why are you pulling the beet and drawing it to the loader? Just go down the drills and pull two rows either side and make rows of the pulled beet then drive the loader down between the rows and use a beet pike to fill the bucket. They seem to have more leaves in the bucket than roots.

@nialldaly7108 Жыл бұрын

Good video of the family working together. Did you think about putting the narrow spraying wheels on the tractor pulling the beet harvestor and driving between the rows for the opening??. Is the process that much different from a brussles sprout harvesting machine, which is inline with seats (re finnegans farm). Will the harvestor leave the beet a lot cleaner than the hand pulled material???

Nothing wrong with handling turf, ( as i see on the heading of video) When you have the beet harvester in working use again wash it down and grease and oil after use, when you will want it again maybe next year or a few years time all you have to do with it, down with the pick up hitch plug in the pipes and of you go and none of this shit as you have shown down in the field for the last 5 years and looking at scrap
