This DVD, Part one, covers the development of beet harvesters from 1960 to the mid-1990s. It documents the changes, firstly, from trailed single-row side-elevator harvesters on to multi-row trailed machines, deals with early self-propelled harvesters and finally with the more recent six-row tanker machines.
We justifiably claim the Beet Harvesters in Britain Part One and
Two programmes to be 'the most thorough on beet harvesters ever'. In total, some 75 machines are featured over the two parts, which include examples from almost all the beet harvester manufacturers whose machines sold in the UK in recent decades.
The majority of the machines are shown at work in all weathers on farms, and were filmed specifically for this programme by Chris Lockwood.
