Good to see a Todd cleaner loader still earning it's keep, back in the day worked for Herbie Todd's son, Herbie was still around, very clever self taught engineer and first world war fighter pilot, a privilege to have met him!
Great video figures really well explained need one of those prefabricated hangers building over the pad to keep the rain and frost of and let the beet dry out.
Interesting stuff chap. It sounds as if you did well to get the crop out of the ground when you did as we appear to be getting some pretty wet weather this week. I've not noticed many machines in action for several days down here in and around Ely. Hope you and your good lady had a good rest and a peaceful Christmas sir. Keep up this good work. Cheers.
There's not much of Christmas left as I write this, so I'll just say a big thankyou for taking the time to do these videos, it can't be easy at time's, but they are well worth it as a viewer, looking forward to next year's.
A Merry Christmas Andrew to you and your family, another interesting video, thankyou for taking time to present all the videos over the last 12 months very much appreciated and looking forward to the next year.
when i worked for hestair farm equipment , many years i clocked the johnson cleaner loader, ( part of their comany) in norfolk loading beet at 120 tonnes an hr, also dont be tempted to go onto the field to get rid of that bit of water ,leave it until the the day is right
Wishing you and the family a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year too. Sugar beet and carting it out on lorry’s really puts the farm roads and tracks though mill, good job you have all of those old road chipping’s, fenland Rob
Merry Christmas Andrew. Thank you for delivering clearly explained, and interesting videos over 2022. I think you explain all the content very well, which is great for the farming, and non farming communities.
Hi Andrew! You have some water! Do you think it's soil compaction? We have problem with to heavy sugar bet taker. 2 years ago we begine to use our old Thyregood taker again. Interesting to see your result, it look like ours. Merry Christmas!
Hi ya Andrew, quick question, any market for sugar beet as a feed, to dairy and beef men? I’m farming here in Ireland and you can’t even get your hands on it at the moment, it’s making anything from 70 to 100 euro a tonne, dirt and all!!
Thanks for the update Andrew. One of these mornings your access to work will be delayed by a 44 ton truck on its side that one was lucky to get back on the road for sure. Your doing well keeping the dirt tares down I'm no expert but golng back to the eighties on Dickinsons on many occasions Eric our loader driver would have to clean out under the belts after each load. Anyway thanks again and have a Merry Christmas to you and Rhonda not forgetting Nala and Frankie.
Great video Andrew, question: why don't you use a slatted sugar beet bucket on the manitou when loading the cleaner loader , I came out of farming in 1994 so I'm quite out of touch tbh regards Roy from Norfolk
Merry Christmas Andrew. Thank you for all your videos over the past year, I have enjoyed the varied content of your posts thoroughly. Looking forward to a New Year in 2023. All the best 🥃.
Thanks for the video's throughout the year. very interesting to see the weekly running of the farm, I work in a quarry in Norfolk but farming is in the heart and for maintaince on our tracks we use a grader pulled behind a loading shovel. it is easy to make, all it is are 2 horizontal I beams wider than the machine pulling it joined together with 2 vertical I beams holding them together, this is fitted to the towing machine with a chain long enough length so the front beam keeps flat on the ground, Add weight to it if the ground is hard, but make it so the weight can be removed if the track is not hard, Merry Christmas,
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard You wouldn't need a hopper on the grader , if there is enough loose material on the track with a few passes it will work just as well,
Very interesting, thanks for taking the time and the insight into beet production. No beet around us much here so always interested to learn more about other farms and parts of the country. Thanks again and merry Christmas to you and yours 👍🏻
Merry Christmas Andrew to you and yours! Thanks for the great videos and debates please keep them coming, there are a few of us that love them and it’s still the best channel on you tube.
Great video Andrew, good to see the facts and figures involved with the beet. Need some black n white poles with reflectors outside farm gate. Merry Christmas to you and Rhonda and frankie and nala. Great videos this year.
Happy Christmas Andrew and your family, be interesting to know what British Sugar have to say about 2 me load's with higher dirt not sampled with one that was with lower dirt 👍
Hi Andrew. Hope you’re having a good Christmas break. It’s always so interesting watching your videos every week. It’s nice seeing different ways of doing things. It’s always giving me new ideas on my own farm. Question I was asked yesterday form a man that puts 4 sugars in his tea. Does McDonald’s use British sugar? As McDonald’s are really good at promoting British farming. It makes me mad when you go to supermarkets and they don’t stock silver spoon sugar. Just madness in eyes.
Ive asked the same question too and I believe they do use British sugar, it would be nice if their sachets had a 🇬🇧 on them. The Co op don’t see silver spoon but not sure which others. Thanks for watching and a merry Christmas. 🎅🎄
In down in Kent and my local sainsbury only had their own brand but it had a union jack on it but when I looked it said it was from cane. It went back on the shelf, so their sugar was the same, icing, castor, etc. Naughty in my book.
It would be nice to see McDonald’s and others to put the 🇬🇧 there sugar bags if true British sugar. Yes Co op definitely doesn’t sell Silver spoon sugar. I’ve never seen silver spoon sugar in Spar stores I’ve been in. So there sugar stays on the shelf.
Merry Christmas... I'm a first time viewer and thought your video was very interesting. Did you ever think of getting a screening type bucket and power wash them while there in the bucket?
Welcome to the channel and merry Christmas. It would take too long to do a proper job and the water would need to be taken to the sugar beet heap and then disposed of so lots of complications.
Merry Christmas Andrew, despite being a sugarbeet grower myself it’s always interesting to see how other people do things. I’m surprised the lorry drivers don’t get frustrated when the beet is only dribbling in at that speed but I suppose they’re still on pay! Keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas Andrew best wishes to you and your family and Tom and Ruben Take care stay safe for the festive season and the rest off the years to come. Chain links changed a few of those on different machine systems over the years. Few choice words when one breaks lol
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard in one of your video there was another firm blue scania truck didn't know if the factory arranges the haulage or it's up to each farm who they have
About a month ago I changed to one of my cousins GR Ward. They use a couple of sub contractors/owner drivers, that’s why you’ll see different colour lorries. Previous to that we’ve been with Wrights from Boston for years.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard does the factory tell you when they want you to deliver in to the factory or it's up to each farm must be hard to make every thing come together book the lifting machine book the haulage etc
Good to see a Todd cleaner loader still earning it's keep, back in the day worked for Herbie Todd's son, Herbie was still around, very clever self taught engineer and first world war fighter pilot, a privilege to have met him!
Definitely, I take my hat off to any service man/woman who fought for what we have today.
Great video figures really well explained need one of those prefabricated hangers building over the pad to keep the rain and frost of and let the beet dry out.
That would be really useful!
For some reason I find looking at the field reports most interesting. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more videos in 2023.
I was thinking if I put too much of that in the video people would get bored!
A great insight. 👍👍
Interesting stuff chap. It sounds as if you did well to get the crop out of the ground when you did as we appear to be getting some pretty wet weather this week. I've not noticed many machines in action for several days down here in and around Ely.

I was getting concerned but we all need a bit of luck!
Happy Christmas to you Mr Ward. Thank you for all your hard work bringing us the videos in 2022
Thanks Matt, Merry Christmas. 🎄

We will, it’s too wet to go in the field now.
Happy New Year to you and yours Andrew, all the bet from Spalding. 👍👍👍🙏🙏

That’s one reason why we got the chippings! Merry Christmas Rob.
Merry Christmas to you Andrew, family and staff. Hope to see more of your videos in 2023 I really look forward to seeing them.
Merry Christmas Gordon. 🎅🎄
If you put the cleaners at right angles to each other, you could cut the handler travel distance by 50%. Just a suggestion!
Once we got a few loads out we went over the side nearest the heap so that had a similar effect. Well spotted!
Merry Christmas Andrew. Thank you for delivering clearly explained, and interesting videos over 2022. I think you explain all the content very well, which is great for the farming, and non farming communities.
Thanks Rob. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Merry Christmas Andrew, keep the good videos coming, your my Sunday morning fix 😂
Same to you John, I hope my Sunday videos are not at the detriment to giving Mrs Stephen’s a Sunday morning cuddle!🤣
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard oh no don’t worry about that 😂😂

There usually is and it goes for about the same price as the factory pay us
Merry Christmas Andrew thanks for your blogs over the year please keep them coming

You can’t clean up the soil very well around and under the cleaner and around the heap with a beet bucket. I think we get less damage too.
Plenty suger in beet wardy and clean
Happy Christmas very informative video thankyou very much for posting keep up the Excellent content hoping your having a lovely day cheers.

Hi Andrew. Can I ask why the Amino was so different week 25/12 Vs the other weeks? Have a great Christmas.
It’s the same as the sugar % dropping, it’s all to do with the way the weather impacts on the sugar content. Merry Christmas
Happy Xmas, thanks for all your videos, always enjoyable and appreciated. Cheers. 🙂
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
Happy christmas, really enjoy your videos so its great to have one to watch on xmas morn.... all the best in the new year

It really is. Food labelling to reflect country of production/origin really needs looking at. The government have ignored it for years.
It would be nice to see McDonald’s and others to put the 🇬🇧 there sugar bags if true British sugar.
Yes Co op definitely doesn’t sell Silver spoon sugar. I’ve never seen silver spoon sugar in Spar stores I’ve been in. So there sugar stays on the shelf.

On "dirt tare" what does tare mean, ??
It’s another way of saying the beet contains a certain % of soil.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard ok, thanks.

You could do with our weather 28c and really warm.
Merry Christmas Stephen. I’d love your weather!

A washer bucket for the wish list. Would not slow down operations

Why do you change your haulage company every year
