Always a problem with fodder beet grow to far out of the ground for topping and lifting

[@ianmarshall170]

Nothin quite sounds like P6 especially on tick over great old tractors we had one with a L4 Perkins !

[@FenlandCrusader]

Yes you're right they definitely transformed the tractor that's for sure 👍

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

I was thinking the same myself, P6s are fantastic engines, worked one in the woods for nearly 30 years, never a problem. I thought the tractor P6 was hunting a bit at tickover, think the governor on the pump could do with a bit of a tweak👍🏻 We had an L4 in the high major before the P6 but it split the crank in half. Never did like them because of that. Great video👍🏻👍🏻

[@09amusement]

How many vintage tractors do you have Sir? I'd love to pay you a visit. I'm not far from you.North Norfolk

[@FenlandCrusader]

That's a good question 🤔 the answer is i don't really know, I'll count them today might surprise myself 🤣

[@paulthompson8467]

Your majors both run very nicely indeed👍

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks Paul 👌

[@robertcovill8467]

Look more like mangolds to me. Fodder beet more like sugar beet.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Yes that's what we said but I've come across this before and there's so many different varieties with deep rooted and and shallow rooted and different colours

[@robertcovill8467]

@FenlandCrusader Thinking back, if you knocked mangolds about they would go rotten. Never saw them harvested mechanically

[@FenlandCrusader]

Yes that's what we were taught, but these old thing's were solid 👌

[@andyhutch8262]

I have seen fodder beet this year the colour of mangolds (2023 November) @@FenlandCrusader

[@FenlandCrusader]

@andyhutch8262 yes there's lots of different varieties out there 👍

[@austral7634]

Why do the P6's have petrol / kero fuel tanks?

[@FenlandCrusader]

A lot of the conversions were sold as kit's so they kept the original tank to save some money, thanks for the input 👍

[@austral7634]

That makes sense and thanks for the prompt reply.@@FenlandCrusader

The road which rail track was it 🚊why put sheep on it mud guards thin one's save money after the war

[@FenlandCrusader]

The road is on top of the river bank, the river is higher than the field level so the bank was put in place to stop flooding sheep are allowed to graze the flood plane
