Sugar Beet Harvest

[conradsar]

great close-up shots! 

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

man that harvester sure gets them clean from right out the damp soil. i guess you need to prevent excess weight and saving room in collectors.

[krueg317]

man these had to be running 25+ tons/ac. They were POURING outta of that boom!

[wolfgrizzer]

@krueg317 Good Guess! 

[Dragonklaw1]

is farming like logging ? or do you have a locked buyer ?

[Dragonklaw1]

how often do you have to rotate the crops

[wolfgrizzer]

@Dragonklaw1  The beets are on a 3 - 4 year rotation with soybeans and wheat.

[waagii]

Buy a Ropa or Holmer ! ^^

[wolfgrizzer]

they have been tried and don't work in the sticky, gummy soils we have here. the shoes they use don't work very well with this type of ground.

[erpelteler]

who will sign that check then?

[LikidySplitz]

I couldnt stop laughing I dont know why

[cr250r1]

Where is this in the valley?

[wolfgrizzer]

It's in the crookston factory district

[TwoTone98Z71]

Fuck i wish we had a WIC

[snickernute24]

is a sugar beet just like sugar cane? and if not whats the diffrence besides the beet being under ground

[jokersbrat2007]

@snickernute24 sugar beets are starchier but just as sweet. I have tasted both sugar beets have consistency almost like a potatoe

[snickernute24]

would i be able to eat a raw sugar beat or would it make me sick?

[birdhunter32]

you can eat sugar beets right out of the field, i've done it and it doesn't do anything to you. and i raise beets every year

[canora2]

you can eat them, its almost like candy to me

[AlphaWolfKodi]

Very interesting!

[TorWolfGoddess]

cool! ^^

[musclemustangboy101]

wow brings me bac when i use to eide in those trucks lol

fall asleep at 12 at nite in the truck

[robert91chevy]

i helped out a farm in GF and they had a 12 row wic. load a semi with a 34 foot trailor in less then 3 minutes

[sabrefirefighter]

im haulin those beets in those ugly green transystem trucks!!! from the pile to the factory

[mattfromtampa11]

transystem trucks are pussy trucks thay have smart shift. not even real trucks if you ask me. i drove for them in east grand forks and quit after two week's but thank's for the free C.D.L

[sabrefirefighter]

ya i agree w/u i hate em too. i rather have a 13sp manual then the smart shift. and the MBE 4000 motors in em are just a big job! they have no luggin power at all. wish they had the C12 cats in em. and i hate the freightliners the only truck that freightliner made that was a good truck was there cabovers. but ya i dont mind workin for the company i still think the pay by load is bullshit though but its somethin for winter time when im not out firefighting

[yalpa85]

Wolfspitzer, how in the hell does that thing pull the beets out of the ground?

Yalpa

[wolfgrizzer]

Look closely at :45. The struts are tapered to give the wheels a pinch point, they are 17" near the top and 1.9" near the bottom \/. The area at ground contact (wheel spacing) front to back is about 6"to 2"/\ this can vary somewhat depending on digging depth. The wheels break up the ground and lifts the beets out, they don't really touch.

[doctorcatsburger]

Great video Sweet Bertha ran off with a Sugar Beet Farmer the 11th day of our Marriage

[TwoTone98Z71]

I want a wic digger so bad

[mitch8769]

I believe thats a rotobeeter.

[wolfgrizzer]

It is a beet lifter. The rotobeater is not pictured, it just removes the leaves.

[oldarizona]

Educational videos are always welcome.

Thanks
