  • This should have been cut last year but the "works" had a problem and it couldn't be processed. Now it's bigger and tougher and the chopper is still struggling . . . . Just after this the team went home for several days, though I don't know why. I haven't seen anything since.
    Filmed in 2022 in Cumbria, England.
    NB Some people wish to know more details of location. I cannot do this because I always assure farmers of anonymity, and they are happy with this. Without it, some would turn me away, to your loss as well as mine!

    I bet there is a lot of tire damage having to drive over those stumps.
    Need steel tracks.

      No - they drive carefully between the 18" rows.

      @@balmesh Salix alba [scientific] has a common name of "Weeping Willow" or "White Willow"... I always thought those trees grew wide thick trunks.
