Fully Mechanical PUMPKIN 🎃 HARVEST for Fresh Market | De Terp Squashpackers

[@GoldenPotatoFarms]

The harvesting process with machinery on your channel is truly awe-inspiring. Modern agriculture is thriving more than ever!

[@HU1212ICAN3]

That dude with the front loader has some serious skill.

[@Kingfarmm]

It’s fascinating how innovation comes from practical challenges like labor shortages! The collaboration between De Terp organic farm and Hegro Agri Service to create a pumpkin harvesting machine is a great example of adapting to modern needs. Visiting the machine at estate farms Mariënwaerdt must have been a unique experience, especially seeing how such technology can revolutionize the traditionally labor-intensive process of harvesting pumpkins. It's exciting to see how agriculture continues to evolve with creativity and efficiency!

Great footage. 👍🏾😎 Sap-green fields and orange pumpkins, nice to watch. 🙂

[@mikrieltje]

echt gaaf om te zien hoe ze een hakselaar omgebouwd hebben, hadden wij er maar zo eentje dan hoevden we de kalebassen niet met de hand te knippen haha

[@davidwpinkston4226]

the veggie boys (and girls) could really go big time with this

[@stevedrane2364]

Good Dutch engineering. . 👍👍

[@stephendleahy]

Love how you show all aspects of a machine and harvesting. Love your videos as always, get to see machines I never would and how they work, much appreciated.

The fruit harvesting is a very delicate task.

This agriculture technology looks promising for the future of food production

This harvester is so modern.

[@hughmarcus1]

Actually built around quite an old John Deere forager

[@EzTechss]

Good Dutch engineering. .

[@francstrever4331]

Nice to see but there is so much loss.. Look at 01:45 and further and 01:52 and further again. Will they all stay behind or will someone come after who wants to make pumpkin soup? 🙃

[@hughmarcus1]

Those pumpkins aren’t edible

[@francstrever4331]

@@hughmarcus1 The title is: harvest for fresh market...

[@davidpolak5607]

What percentage of pumpkins is mechanically damaged during the harvest? Is it possible to use pumpkins harvested by this machine for storage?

[@ralphknobbout3022]

The pumpkins are storage for weeks and sometimes months at the time depending on the Shelflife, but I don’t know what percentage gets damaged

[@Farmfactoryhd]

I guess about 60% will be damaged; hand-harvested pumpkins will taste better and last longer in storage compared to machine-harvested ones.

[@hughmarcus1]

@@FarmfactoryhdMy guess these are for the Halloween market across Europe. They’re low value & aren’t eaten.

[@Farmfactoryhd]

@@hughmarcus1 Damaged pumpkins can also be efficiently utilized by processing them into by-products such as animal feed, organic fertilizer, or even as raw materials for producing other useful products like natural cosmetics or bioproducts. This not only helps reduce waste but also adds value, contributing to sustainable agriculture

[@tieslans6307]

@@Farmfactoryhd not true, i worked on the machine. at max 5 percent gets damaged. Stems are good aswell its a secret variety of squash😱.

[@GRamerDim]

why does it have electric motors instead of hydraulic ones?

[@hughmarcus1]

Probably more practical in some scenarios

[@LuluGata-v3e]

Hello, What is the variety of pumpkin?

[@Tractorspotter]

I' need to ask to the grower. But this variety has been specially refined to be harvested mechanically

[@mizet5477]

Hokaido(?) 😀

[@herbhouston5378]

Are these for ornamental decoration, or are they used to make food products?,

[@Jorian1107]

This type of pumpkin/ winter squash is usually for food production (soup etc.)

[@hughmarcus1]

I might be wrong but they look like the ones that are used around Halloween for decoration

[@NearCry91]

What do you mean by "fully mechanical"?

[@egomania2792]

No human part in harvesting them. The people on top are only sorting.

[@piperdoug428]

looks like the bases of a silage chopper John Deere used to make this

[@xSCHEF]

Yes we all have eyes. It’s literally on the side of the machine you genious.

[@piperdoug428]

The machine is great but I want to know the chemical program to have pumpkins that weed free

[@GRamerDim]

what chemical program? 😂 they're organic

[@daanlans5025]

Schoffelen with a lot of polish people

[@markkallstrom5672]

WOW says Kallstrom Sweet Corn in Ephrata , Washington . U>S>A

[@GRamerDim]

where does it say that?

[@jonnybell]

1st

[@95thousandroses]

doesn;t this kill the plants? kinda dumb if so. right?

[@ralphknobbout3022]

Yes it kills the plant, but the pumpkin plant only lives for 1 year, and the soil has to be ploughed etc so it doesn’t matter if the plant gets killed

[@antoniojoaquin89w7f]

Todo demasiado mecanizado para sacar mano de obra. La gente también tiene que comer y pagar sus facturas a final de mes 🫣🇪🇸

Du wirst in den Niederlanden für diese harte Arbeit niemanden finden. Vorallem nicht bei schlechtem Wetter.
