Old TIme Sugarbeet, wheat harvest festival

Old time sugar beet harvest and wheat thrashing at the beet museum in Crookston, MN.

Consists of a 2 row Max Campbell beet harvester (shop built) by taking a co-op tractor and mounting a beet cart. The self propelled harvester runs in reverse which has 1 gear for lifting and road transport.
The rink rolls on these machines didn't work the best in the heavy soils of the Red River Valley as u can see all the mud being loaded past the picking tables especially the 1 row international which used a shoe to lift the beets instead of a lifting wheel.
