Love your videos. Thanks I had long gone old boys go to North Dakota for the beet harvest.
Thanks 👍
Great video well done 👏
Thank you 👍
Great video brought back my whole time working with sugar beetle when I joined a band thinning/weeding beer at 13 years old, then progressing to a rear mounted weeder which I steered while the tractor was driven by dad. At 19 we progressed to a front mounted weeder so it eliminated one man. For lifting we had an international 434 on your video then moved on to the three row topper and lifter. I drove the lifter with a david brown 990. Thanks again
Great memories. Thanks for sharing.
The two row beet squeezer is a Guyco, made by East Dereham Foundry in Norfolk.
They were popular in Norfolk in the 1950s.
I have one in my yard.
Excellent video as usual, just the right balance of informed commentary.
Many thanks for telling us more about the beet squeezer.
Nice collection of sugar beet equipment ! Great video again !
Thanks for watching.
Sugar beet was a big industry in Ireland with a factory here in the west. Most villages had mountains of crop left near main roads where it was collected. From what I remember our government decided that other countries could produce sugar cheaper than us and the factories got shut down. Management tried to take over some but the gov wouldn't allow it and the factories were dismantled. Of course shortly after the price of sugar went through the roof! It's such a small step to convert sugar to ethanol. We could've been making our own eco fuel on the back of a very established grower/transport/skilled workforce set up. A big loss. Great vid as always.
Politics! What a disaster. Thanks for sharing this story with us. I very much enjoy reading comments like this.
Another excellent video - great show!
Thanks again!
Great video an amazing collection of different beet handling available back in the day 👌 my Dad worked in an area of 🏴 that grew a lot of sugar beet with a sugar factory in the town of Cupar Fife, i still have some of the medals he won at sugar beet thinning competitions 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. How long is it since they grew beet up there?
Was a long time ago think was about 1970 /71 was lucky enough to have a tour through it before it closed, was a big loss to the local farming community 😕
Very sad.
Great video. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Our european cousins, have some strange looking machinery.. 👍😉
👍
Great video and you captured the difficult conditions very well. You video footage of the Fraden hoe is much better than the shots I managed to get when we first got it mobile.
Took a bit of sorting out as supposedly all the bits where there (which is nearly true as it was only a few missing brackets)
It’s very clever in that when it is lifted up it only steers the tractor wheels but when in work it also steers the hoe frame as well as wheels.
It would be good to try it in a field of beet. Well done for saving it.
I think time allowing that is the intention, will let you know when it is arranged as you could then get some footage.
👍
appr. 1.35 Looks like a Swedish Roerslev (Arvika Thermaenius, AVA from Skurup} from 1950. Constructor B. Gustavsson. It ultimately led to the AVA 6 row self propelled beetharvester. Volvo bought AVA and sold the harvester production licence to Kuiken in the Netherland. Kuiken A 500 and later development BR 750
That's interesting. Did you also see the rotating drum Roerslev machine later in the video?
@@Casterton-Vintage Yes, but later. You asked for a quick response, sorry. From AVA I have pictures of a later development of that rotating drum, the Arvika Thermaenius BS
As far as my Swedish goes: a Danish farmer went to the Ava factory with a prototype which became AVA-Roerslev design for two horses or a tractor to operate. So indeed it originates from Denmark, but produced in Sweden, AVA, Arvikaverken. Skurup Sweden. Mowing machines, ploughs, beet harvesting machines, combine harvesters among others and the famous BV 202 204/206 military vehicle, also sold to Volvo
Thanks
