WINTER 1985

Time goes by fast - the photographs in these gallerys are now forty years old. It only seems like yesterday!

The arrival of winter sees the continuation of the sugar beet harvest. One of the most impressive such operations near me in Suffolk was the farm that used a six row two-stage trailed system. As a mixed farm with a large arable acreage and a herd of diary cattle, the farm clamped the sugar beet tops as cattle feed and so the first part of the harvesting operation was a Moreau six-row topper on the back of a Lamborghini R854 that blue the tops into a side running trailer, in this case one hauled by a Lamborghini 854DT. The harvesting itself was done by a larger tanker harvester on the back of a Lamborghini 955DT making a fine sight with a Lamborghini 1306 and another 955DT carting the roots away.

By contrast the neighbouring farm, also a mixed enterprise, was using a more traditional British approach with a Standen three-row topper on the back of a Ford 6600 that left the leaves in a row for collection later by a green crop- loader. The roots were then lifted by a Massey Ferguson 575 and Standen harvester and carted away by a Massey Ferguson 165 and Richard Western trailer
