I saw them doing this at a steam rally when I was a kid

 

 

I was doing a first thinning in Tilford about 1982 and I kept hearing these whistles so I walked along the river to them. There were two traction engines winching a bucket from a dragline across a lake dredging it. Although 360s were around on big civils jobs then (Hymac 508??) they were not seen in the countryside but there were a few priestman cubs and RB42s

Coincidence I'm out spreading sewage cake aroun the warwickshire , Leicestershire and Northampton area. We are flat out with four tractors and spreaders going and a Volvo shovel. We try to spread 2000 ton a day minimum but that depends on traveling and field conditions as I imagine you well know.

 

who for Thames or Severn Trent? Am averaging 1200 tonnes a day on my own

The farmer where I am spreading has a combine with a plough and drill combination mounted in the header

 

You will find that they are Sowing Rape has it has to be in the ground 11 months so it makes financial sense and Rape is classed has a Rest crop .
