AUTUMN/WINTER 1984

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

It is autumn and two farms in Suffolk are busy cultivating after harvest with their respective largest tractors, one using a Ford TW-30 on a Kongskilde Vibro-Flex, both being only a few years old at this time, the Ford having replaced a Track Marshall crawler as the main cultivations machine earl;ier in teh decade. The neighbouring farm was using thier largest tractor, a Lamborghini 1356DT to plough with a Dowdewell five furrow and then later break the land down with a spring tine harrow as the first mist of autumn arrived

Sugar beet harvesting in Suffolk using a two stage system built by French company Moreau. First a Leyland two wheel drive tractor removes the tops with a trailed six-row topper which blows the harvested tops into a side running trailer hauled by a Lamborghini 854DT. A Lamborghini 955DT then follows with a six-row tanker harvester, one of only a very few that were imported into Britain. This large machine was actually at the National Sugar Beet Harvesting demonstration when brand new a few years earlier. A Leyland 804 and trailer was in attendance. As this was the first pass around the headladn of teh field, the neighbouring harvested rye field was used to turn the Lamborghini 854DT and trailer around, but unfortunately it got stuck in teh very wet fiedl and had to be rescued!
