I know a farm near me who still drills 100ac of beet with a Webb beet drill! It’s not even an orange one either; an early blue one!

There's still plenty of it about, but Fraser kit. Thru in the west, the stuff was on about every farm. With us up until 2018 we were Fraser ring feeders, trailers, muck spreader, tanker, linkbox, etc.
