[QUOTE="Fruitbat, post: 7545982, member: 5802"] Yep, I've had one those years too while back 1/2 bin of Cox (160kg) instead of 30+. I think it worked out at about 1-2 apples/tree. Wore more boot leather out than the crop was worth. It sold quickly though.... I've not seen much in the way of mobile frost beaters, but there is a chap down Newent way that's got a big fan (3m dia) mounted on a vertical shaft in a cowling that draws the cold air in at the base and blasts it straight up. I think it's used in conjunction with a couple of small fires higher up the orchard to provide a temperature gradient. [/QUOTE]
