Aren’t the spuds just heaped in the boxes?

They’ll be taken off with a forklift at the yard and placed in a box tipper which tips them out gradually into the grader.

Boxes should reduce the handling/damage compared to just harvesting them into tipper trailers.

I’m getting the smell and draw of the potato business again just looking at those pics, it’s an addiction....

Edit, just saw the trailer you’re referring to, I have no idea!!!

Some of them grade spuds into store and some just straight store if the sample was very good and grade when spuds are coming out. Its a crazy business and you would need balls the size of beach balls to stick at it

Hahaha nothing to do with balls it's having no brain, being a machosisit and convieniently forgetting the bad shit years when you are spending all day grading shyte and ruining your fields ,,, against the occasional good year when the contracts are on fire and free buy spuds are woth £300+ a ton

Tom Barry. Its a NH TG285, very nice set up and sound from her. It covered some ground for the 15 minutes I was there.

Very clean too, is it an 04 registration? Nice and steady, should be doing good work.
 
Call me thick but how's that work with the metering wheel on the harrow and a front hopper???? What about the delay with the seed coming from front to back??
I'm no doubt missing something obvious!!:unsure:

Or fert and seed?

Its a split hopper, one pipe for each side of the drill I would think, don't think it goes that well trying to split seed in half if you know what I mean.

Thank you. Hoping for a serious improvement in the weather now. This winter has really peed me off.
I think the mower man was a wee bit optimistic alright. He was heading fast for Jim Powers in Tallow and he was not the only one in the past few days I have seen
