Did anyone study the beet harvester closely?
I was talking to an agri engineer who looked it over: and he said the chassis had a bad crack?
Among other faults!

 

[two-cylinder]

Anyone record what the combination made?

 

[grainboy]

Combination made £5800, exceptional condition.
Teagle Tulip spreader £3100

Yer definitely, my missus always laughs about farmers at auctions she thought there was a rule that if it isn't green,brown,grubby or a combination of the three your not allowed to bid. [emoji23]

They were busy disc cutting and loading ally pipes when I left.

I was amazed what the two old lemkens made, I run one the same but wasn't worth it to me what they made

The 7 furrow 2008 was quite a good buy I thought compared to new price.

As an aside, I've never seen a spud crusher before like the one there were there ever many used. Hoovers used to be really in demand a few years back but now unwanted again. I was tempted by the blue one then remembered why i sold mine I'll pull the reekie out to do a few every time

 

[robbie]

I couldn't believe what the lemken made either, the beams where completely knackered it was only the bodies, wheel assembly and a turnover ram that was usable.

we run one and have another with a broken headstock and I always thought if someone wanted some parts then a couple of hundred quid would be good but after yesterday it makes you wonder.

Why was so much of the stuff bent or broken do they have trouble with bog oaks? both the ploughs and the subsoilers looked to have hit something hard a few times.

Most of the slats were thin too, thats where I saw it about 200 my skimmers are getting thin, I'll give you 200 for it, if it's slatted they were only 120's too. I was gonna weigh an old beet drill in too but the one in the first row for parts made me think ( probably had onion wheels in)

Volunteer reduction, suppose it's redundant now the modern harvesters handle haulm better and front toppers etc. I lift green top piper and if I don't top it's like a carpet of mids.

Was the kv subsoiler a bit rough?

 

[robbie]

No it looked in good condition

 

[two-cylinder]

I thought the Vogel and Noot was reasonable at £4500?
