You didn't buy it on i-bidder then
Just looked like a lot of trouble to me, would probably suit someone for forage beet or something. But would be a step back into the dark ages I feel.

No didn't buy anything, I'm saving up for something.

Was a bit muddy!

Was a bit sh!tty , I thought was a good idea to do some in yard on concrete then rest on field. Was bloody cold when I got stood in the field though.

I used to like pottering about with the beet harvester on cold autumn afternoons, fitted in well with doing stock work in the mornings. One snapped web and I'd remember why we gave up and got contractors I think!

 

[marshfarmer]

Did Reynolds buy it? That was good value. The cleaner was strong money. I wanted the 24ft flat but too strong for me.

 

[robbie]

I bought the cousins pigtail cultivator.

me and dad stood watching the beet harvester sell and we were very very tempted, a few days in the workshop and a good going through and that would have made a decent machine more than capable of doing a couple hundred acres a year. The only thing that stopped us is that it was a thyregod and not a Tim so our harvester wouldn't be any good as a donor.

I thought some of the old crap made very good money and some of the decent stuff wasn't far out.

Was that the folding one ?? In the first row ??

 

[robbie]

Yep, we've got a 12ft pigtail that father made years ago but the frame is bad so the plan is to put our tines and wheels onto this one along with a lick of paint and we've got a decent cultivator that'll last another 30 years!

results out, says 2k for beet harvester ?

 

[robbie]

That's right, it hovered at the start bid of 1k for ages then just as the hammer was raised it rallied a bit to sell at 2k.
