MX would me my vote, normally our rep will come and do a demo, we ha e to price the customer and if it goes the job as discussed , it stays...very good to be fair, and different blade options, and the headstock is adjustable to suit if your running down a barrier

He's a good lad is Jonny but he only has new Ritchies in stock at the moment. Not seen any reviews of Ritchie buckets, good or bad, tbh, but I am hoping for a good second hand one as my first option.

I was only thinking of chopping but only because I was not aware of any that can wash as well! - yes that may well be something that could be of interest. Any recommendations?

Tanco do a wash bucket not heard of others but sure there will be some

Myself I would only feed washed beet
Others will tell you it's not necessary but it will need to be very clean not to wash

We have a kw bucket for spuds but have but beet through it no problem. Simple design and not a lot to go wrong. Stones are no bother to it either. They are not cheap though but worth every penny http://kwfs.co.uk/
