Thanks for putting this up. Have an opportunity to drive truck in Sidney Montana hauling sugar beets and hadn't a clue as to how the operation ran, now I do!
@Pirelli8216 Got a couple of them in the next county to the north. Sugar Company not ready to allow any more to be purchased. They are still seeing how field storage will affect quality. Our harvest usually goes from late September to early November. The plant will process beets until late February early March. Piling and repiling is the problem .....they don't store well when repiled.
They have been up to Roggenbucks....Problem is too slow. Too many acres to harvest. Build them a wider Maus and keep the cost down, but make sure it has resale! While at it can you make the stock worth $800 per acre instead of $80 to -$200? Last year we still had folks paying people to grow beet acres. I am sure they will buy one if you can change all of this. Sorry about the sarcasm, but this is what is behind making a wholesale change in sugar beet equipment.
How does one get hired by this family farm. I have 500 acres in colorado that I will not be farming anymore. I have been around corn and sugar beets here in colorado all my life. would like to move
Those axles are to spread the Ground pressure on soft terrain.. If it were just a tandem the rear wheels would dig into the Fiels and Get the truck stuck.
I can't believe it's just for when the truck is off-road..surely that's an on road truck that spends the majority of its time on the highways..hence my question? Either the axle ratings are small or there are some crazy weight regs somewhere..? In the UK we spread 44 metric tonnes over six axles..3+3, EU the same but over 5 axles - 2+3, or Sweden/Finland 60 tonnes over 8 or 9 axles
Wasn't aware I was being arrogant or egotistical - I was just trying to work out why all the axles, and what would be the reason for this and the differences in legislation between UK/EU/US. It seems you were very threatened by this, pointing to an insecure/inferiority complex. Maybe you need to start taking your meds again..it's been a long time..saves you getting your panties in a twist so easily and being overtly rude to people who are showing an interest?? Right? If what you say is true, that's an awful lot of lost payload there just for off road work. Maybe you can tell me how much weight is being carried so I can better understand instead of shooting off your (child bearing) hips..
I wouldn't know..hence.. my original question. In the UK we don't have the luxury of being able to carry around more than three axles on our trailers. By the way..more axles on trailer - less weight on fifth wheel - you're only able to drive there because it's Dry, not because you have a bazillion axles under your trailer. Lol. Again you are getting your panties in a big twist - this is not an attack on how you do things over there, simply curious that's all. Again, no need to be rude and impolite. Spot the massive Irony in your comment - an arrogant American calling Europeans arrogant. Good job i'm sitting down. Now get those meds down your neck asap.
this is not off road beet blast...this is really off road wheen pulling 3 steiger tractor the 5 axles tipper semi wich delivers 40 metric tonn sugarbeet...pulling in 16 inches mud 2 miles long....
Don't let any farmer fool you. They make A LOT of money. If they didn't, they'd be out of business or driving crappy equipment. Notice how all of the farmers on TH-cam look like they're driving brand new tractors and equipment?

HOLY AXLES! You know you're in Michaigan when every semi you see has about a million axles just like the log trucks!

@xam107 a Topper is a machine that removes the foilage of the sugar beet plant.
20 ton and yes they do use them to open up. They follow the harvester. When the tank is full they will pull out under the elevaor .
@xam107 actually they were topped with a "Topper".
where the plants mowed before harvest looks like but also nice vid
The dirt brought back to the field was cleaned off of the sugar beets by the piling equipment at the sugar beet processing plant.

They are running two 8 row, 28 inch spaced machines.
It sure is! I think it is a 8245R
Several hundred acres of sugar beats. Just curious, how much profit
does this produce for the farmer/land owner?
Have you guys seen the new Aulick Dump Cart?
is that a new r series tractor at the 2:41 mark?
why so many axles on the trucks trailers? how many tons are they aloud to load?
@eagerjeffrey a thx but could that also be done with a normal mower?
How does one get hired by this family farm. I have 500 acres in colorado that I will not be farming anymore. I have been around corn and sugar beets here in colorado all my life. would like to move
how many tons do those carts hold? and do thay use these same carts to open up?
@Kennypaulsen1 Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
how much do you sell the foilage for to cattle ranchers ?
thanks MT
Your payload must be around 100 Metric tonnes with all those axles on the trailer - or are regs over there only allowing a very small rating on them?
Those axles are to spread the Ground pressure on soft terrain.. If it were just a tandem the rear wheels would dig into the Fiels and Get the truck stuck.

sorry - Sweden I think 7 or 8 axles @60 tonne/132,000lbs not 9 as I said originally

13,000 lbs per axle when they are spaced close. 18,000 lbs per axle when spaced 9 feet apart. Michigan rules.
ROPA is the way to go .they defoliate and and dig.Keeps my truck out of the field
grew up in Brown City seen that every fall
very nice video
this is not off road beet blast...this is really off road wheen pulling 3 steiger tractor the 5 axles tipper semi wich delivers 40 metric tonn sugarbeet...pulling in 16 inches mud 2 miles long....
The method of harvest in the Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota is much more efficient.
that's a former old dominion freight line volvo. Damn truck retired and working in the garden.
Those old Volvos cant be beet!
@eagerjeffrey ääähh sorry im german so i dont really get what you mean with topper
Damn you must earn a lot with sugar beets over there, looking at all those trucks, tracktors and drivers to be payed :-s
beets look easier to dump then seed corn
nice video
Lol! 8 wheels on the tractor but only 2 on the bins ...
