[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6671861, member: 2119"] It's not a bad idea per se, but would need a sea change in thinking to enact it. Dad remembered being drafted in to lift carrots during national service days during a wet Autumn back in the 1950's. His commander volunteered the men to the local farmer when he noticed he was struggling. I still hope to clear the drains and get on again with the machine. It is of course "economically" non viable to harvest the beet by hand for any payment. We get paid 1 penny for each beet I worked out you would need to lift 2000 per hour to get minimum wage. Anyway I feel positive and optimistic today and am busy welding to finish the modifications to the cleaner loader machine in time for the arrival of the lorry on Monday to move what has been harvested to the factory. Best wishes to All. [/QUOTE]
