One of Those Days, a Run of Breakdowns and the Range Rover Winner Collects His Prize

Some days at harvest just do not go to plan, and this was one of them. In this episode the grain store conveyor belt fails, two tractors go down with sensor faults, and the dry conditions start to bite hard on skids and cultivator points, all while the combines have to keep rolling. We take an honest look at the reality of a tough day, the value of a good team, and why, as James puts it, farming is all about backup plans.There is a happy moment too. Marcel, the winner of the Range Rover raffle, finally arrives, all the way from Germany, to collect his prize and drive it home. We also switch the combines onto a high value pea crop and explain the fuss over colour and where it ends up, follow the cultivations racing ahead of the oilseed rape, and dig into some interesting fuel data now the whole fleet is on one system.Behind it all, the new fertiliser store and yard continue to take shape, and a new three year straw contract is agreed.From a run of breakdowns to a winner collecting his keys, this is another honest look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro0:44 A conveyor belt failure, back onto peas1:51 The dry conditions start to bite2:42 A run of faults and turning 504:53 Marcel collects the Range Rover5:54 Horses, family and a Scotsman in Windsor9:20 The peas: drying and the colour that matters10:54 Where the peas end up11:51 The mustard, the naughty child crop12:08 The earliest harvest and a dirty stop13:30 Firefighting and a midnight cherry picker15:15 Cultivating ahead of the oilseed rape17:08 Fuel data across the fleet18:55 Straw cleared and a new contract20:25 Conditioning the peas21:54 The belt is fixed22:18 The fertiliser store and yard take shape24:11 Sunday's combine incident24:40 A slick save from the parts team26:32 A tough day, handled without a tantrumP.X.
