Are you sure????? This time!!!!?I saw it. But no, I have decided to opt for a simpler life. Concentrating on combinables and parking up the beet harvesting kit.
16 acres of spring barley instead. Will take no time at all and much less hassle.
Cyclone is having last laugh till the end. Hydraulic filter doing its regular blocking up trick in the DB780 power unit and now starting to slow the hydraulics down quite seriously. Will have to drain transmission oil and fit new filter or risk knackering the pump a few acres from the end. The old oil is going back in though after passing through a pair of the Mrs's old tights. I never have managed to get all the water oil/emulsion out of the system so every two years the filter blocks. Every previous time I have put new oil in, but it never thanks me, hence the old stuff will be reused especially at todays prices.
So that's the end of 70 years beet growing here, not that our 500 tons will make much difference. We are right on the edge of the catchment area as well so no great loss either way. Next year South of France from October to March.
