Monsters of the Beet Field - The Story of the Sugar Beet Harvester

The development of the early harvesters is shown as we see many famous names at work, such as Standen, GBW and Catchpole. Self-propelled machines make an appearance with the Standen Solobeet and the later Cyclone and Tornado, while the Ransomes Hunter was an early attempt at something a little more sophisticated. The story continues with the development of six-row machines from firms such as Moreau, Matrot and Riecam.

The six-row harvesters became eclipsed by the arrival of the tanker harvesters that soon became enormous! We follow the development of the early machines from Verveat and Standen to the monster twelve-row machines of the 21st Century.
