[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8034840, member: 44728"] Further to the above, when we came to harvest that crop in early October, we had finished all the other winter drilling. So we had every engine'd farm vehicle we owned in a 62 acre and on 40 acre field at the same time: 205 hp New Holland 8080H Combine 136 hp Bedford KM lorry with a Cole Drill-filler acting as a Chaser for the 250 hp Leyland Road train artic ferrying the beans back to the main farm 12 miles away. 215 hp John Deere 8430 tractor ploughing with an 8 furrow semi mounted Dowdeswell 96 hp International power harrowing ahead of the drill, being a 80 hp MF690 pulling a 4 metre Carrier drill, drilling Avalon seed wheat. Finally a 70 hp MF675 pulling a set of Cambridge rolls. Plus the 65 hp Manitou MB25P forklift loading the drill with 50kg bags of C1 seed on a pallet. That is 1,117 hp in total in one field at the same time on the same day. Add in the 60 hp farm Land-rover and the petrol engine driving the Cole drill-filler/chaser bin, being 5 hp, Now totalling 1,182 hp ! Both fields Harvested and growing the next crop on the same day, in 2 days total. I don't know how we did it. .................... must have been that Radiation cloud! [/QUOTE]
