- Ploughing with the 724 and 939, leading sugar beet along side a Vervaet harvester, spraying resumes until rain stops play, and we attend a Fendt operators training course.

Even a fendt Cannot stop the seagulls from cr-pping on the windscreen 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 you are right!
Great update as always, lovely tractor the Fendt, ground sodden here in warwickshire wettest it's been for a long time. 👌👍
Thanks, the Fendts are lovely tractors, we like them, it’s the wettest it’s been here for many years, about 40 mm for December so far
Good video 👍
Thank you 😊
those mudflaps are brilliant i used to hate the shite going all over the sprayer
Yes they do a good job of keeping the sprayer clean, before I used to get lumps of mud everywhere
When setting up the plough on the GPS, at what point on the plough do you set as the working distance from the GPS receiver ? Is it the front furrow or back furrow or a furrow in between ? Thanks
I usually set it up about mid way of the length of the plough. Usually the gps receiver has all the tractor dimensions in it, so the measurement is taken from the linkage arms.
This I find gives the ability to plough curves on headlands more accurately.
Beet harvester certainly make it look easy But what was the value of or that kit in the field Harvester / carting trailers / tractor & plough then drilling combination?
I’m not sure of the value, but a guess of about 1.5 million new price……… a lot of money and investment.
Yes great kit.would be able for a large acerage.
When you are transporting the plough on the road do you carry it on the linkage or does it rest on the land wheel?
Yes we rest it on the plough wheel, as it’s a heavy plough and puts a lot of strain on the top link. The plough is put into the butterfly position, ie on its back, and the the depth wheel is swung into transport position which allows it to spin 360 degrees. The top link is disconnected and the lift arms on the tractor are raised fully, and it’s ready for transport. Will have to see if I can film it
Thanks for the reply, yes would be good to see how it is moved into the transport position.
ATGT or JFDH drilling after beet?
Sorry don’t understand your abbreviations, but it’s not our farm, we are only contracted in to help harvest the beet.
@@JDautopower I thought it would be Turnbull or Hargreaves that’s all
It was ATGT drilling after the beet 👍🏻
Tutty likes to wollow around in the mud
😂😂😂 think he’s even getting fed up of it now!
Bigger front weight block on your list To Santa??
Yes it would be good to have a bigger one 😃
I thought you got put in prison if you ploughed nowadays!!
😂😂😂😂 some people do frown upon it.
Not sure you should be spraying onto standing water the Roundup is going to get into the ground water and we are already facing criticism and attempts to ban it. Some money in Arable it seems us Livestock boys cant afford 2nd hand tractors let alone new fendts lol
I get what you are saying about the roundup, but it wasn’t a very large patch in the whole field, years ago our Internal Drainage Board used to use roundup spraying out the bottoms of there drains to kill reeds ect.
