This farmer grew white beans in 2011, and the merchant called for them while they were still 16% moisture. He didn't want to use his mobile drier as the beans would split. The man who did the job before was tied up with green beans and didn't want to clean out the machine. So our farmer converted an old 10t trailer, and got the moisture down in a couple of days.

In 2008 two large arable farms joined forces to share the work nearly 4,000 acres. While one farm was combining, the other was ploughing and then working the land with a 5.5m Vaderstad Rexius cultivator. The John Deere 8530 carried ballast on the front. Over the 2007/8 winter Jim Tarry built a 5.5m folding cultivator-press for the front linkage, which cut the number of post-plough passes from two to one, a huge saving in diesel and time.

A contractor wanted to give his drivers work in the winter, instead of laying them off, and knew there was fencing work available. Fencing in wet conditions with a tractor cuts up the land, and so he fitted a front linkage to a used Yanmar C30 tracked dumper. His design has the post driver to one side, so he drives down the fence line, no need for turning and reversing. The machine also pays out wire and netting.
