Beet Lifting Through The Ages

DVD PAL

With the threat of extinction hanging over the beet industry, enthusiasts for old equipment got together in a field at Glinton, near Peterborough to demonstrate the changes that have taken place over the years. Equipment working included horse-drawn carts, vintage beet ploughs, early Catchpole, Dyson and Standen harvesters, a rare Ransomes Hunter, a range of Standen Solobeet equipment and more modern Kongskilde, Garford, Matrot and Kleine self-propelled machines. Also includes modern and vintage beet loading. Official video – written and narrated by Alan Stennett.
