Special harvester you won't find anywhere else | Modified Ploeger | Lilly bulb harvest

04-01-2026

This modified self propelled Ploeger (Oxbo) harvester is a unique machine. Originally this uses a single unloading elevator. This has been removed and a system of 2 elevators fitted in place. This harvester is used for lilly bulbs. By means of 2 elevators the harvester can lift the bulbs from one side of the field. This saves passes and is easier when planting the different varieties. The modification work was carried out by Dutch farm machinery company Blok and bulb grower De Wit Espel. The AR-4W is a 3m wide machine and normally used for harvesting potatoes. It can however be used for all kinds of speciality crops. Here 2 1.5m lilly beds are lifted. Three Valtra T175 tractors and Beco trailers are carting the crop away to the farm.

Graafstra Agra Warrior - Primeur! | Leliebollen oogst | Nieuwe rooimachine

18-12-2025

Deze unieke video laat de eerste bewegende beelden zien van de gloednieuwe Graafstra Agra Warrior zelfrijdende rooimachine. Deze rooier wordt gebruikt voor het oogsten van lelies, maar hij kan ook voor andere speciale gewassen worden gebruikt zoals plantuien. Graafstra ontwikkelde de machine samen met de Franse rooimachinespecialist Pouchain. Desondanks is de machine volledig nieuw ontwikkeld. De grote rooierfabrikanten bieden niet langer een zelfrijdende rooier met afvoer en zonder bunker aan. Graafstra koos er daarom voor om zelf een machine te ontwikkelen. Het eerste exemplaar is verkocht aan Markhorst Bloembollen. Hij is hier in actie te zien, uitgerust met Zuidberg tracks. Bekijk de video voor de volledige uitleg van deze machine! Laat ons weten wat je van de video en de rooier vindt. Heb je vragen, stel ze dan in de comments.

Harvest & Tillage 2025 in the Netherlands | Fendt, John Deere, New Holland, MF | Float Control CTIS

21-11-2025

This video focus on the harvest of potatoes and sugar beet, grass, tillage, soil preparation and drilling winter cereals in the Netherlands during autumn 2025. The Netherlands has some very good farming soils, but these have to be farmed with great care. Thanks to a higher water table the soil cannot take a lot of weight, especially when conditions are wet. This is one of the reasons why central tyre inflation systems (CTIS) are becoming increasingly popular. Dutch farmers are renowned for their vegetable farming, growing crops such as: (seed) potatoes, onions, carrots and more.

Unique ditch digger | One pass profiling & drilling grass

16-11-2025

Dutch contractor Van Steen developed this self propelled machine for re-profiling ditch banks and sowing them with grass. The base vehicle is a second hand Vredo VT4546 Trac that has been fitted with a turn-able Claas Xerion cab. A Hemos ditch auger is used to re-profile the ditch bank. Once the correct slope has been reached grass is sown using a second arm. There is also a third crane arm fitted to this machine, but it is not in use here. This machine is especially useful in the Dutch polders where there is a large network of ditches to remove excess water from the fields. Over time the ditch banks can collapse so it is required to put them back in the correct profile.

Brand new Fendt 620 Vario on tracks! | Tulip bulb planting | Trike John Deere & more

26-10-2025

Planting tulip bulbs is in full swing during half October. Dutch tulip grower Boon Brothers are busy planting in Flevoland with their brand new Fendt 620 Vario ONE on Soucy tracks. This is fitted with a front loader, roof mounted hopper and 1.80m wide net planter from Dutch manufacturer Vlaming. The bulbs are planted in between two layers of netting. The big advantage is that, when harvesting the bulbs in July, the whole bed with nets is lifted and the bulbs extracted without excess soil. First the field (previously grass) has to be prepared. A Fendt 820 Vario is ploughing with a Lemken Juwel and this is followed by a John Deere 6155R trike with Celli power harrow. Both combinations are from contracting company Breure - De Waard. After planting the tracks are eradicated in between the beds.

Red Beet Bull - Grimme Rexor 6300 *NEW* | Sugar beet harvest 2025

19-10-2025

German machinery manufacturer Grimme is demonstrating its newest en biggest sugar beet harvester in the Netherlands this autumn, in co-operation with local dealerships. Here Otto Barkhuis Mechanisatie is demonstrating the machine at contracting company Schoenmaker Agri in Vlagtwedde, Groningen. The second generation Rexor 6300 was launched in 2024 by Grimme. The most notable improvements, apart from a new styling, are the use of the Claas X11 cab, a 45m³ bunker capacity and new arm rest controls. Many details have been improved to make life easier for the operator. One interesting detail is the use of PE plastic as covers inside the bunker. The manufacturer claims this reduces damage to the beet and less loose tips. With its 34 tonne dry weight, 15.6m length and 653 HP engine this really is a behemoth.

American muscle | Rare 2+2 International 3788 'Snoopy' at work | Pure sound

05-10-2025

This short video features an International 3788 2+2 articulated 4WD tractor at work, pulling down ploughed land using a Michael Moore Moles press. The tractor, which is known under a variation of nicknames such as Snoopy, Ant Eater and Snake, was only sold at selected European markets originally. This makes it a rare tractor on this side of the Atlantic. This 3788 is a recent US import. The original 2+2 design was launched in 1979 by the International Harvester Company. It comprises of an 86 Series backend, Control Cab, Category III hitch and DT-436B or DT-446B engine. This pushed out 157 or 177 PTO horsepower. The turning point is in front of the cab, which was done so it could straddle crop rows in crops such as maize (corn) or soya beans for example. In 1980 the two model line up was joined by the heavier 3788 model, which pushed out 170.5 PTO HP from the same 446 engine, coupled to a 12 speed semi-powershift gearbox. This tractor was only produced for 2 years and it is believed that less than 2.500 examples were produced during that time. The model was replaced by the updated 6788 in 1983. Some heavier 7288 and 7488 models were developed and build, but production was soon halted after Tenneco purchased IH in 1984. The 2+2 line up was by no means a strong seller, but it did fill a gap in the market and found a following. Today they have become collectors' tractors.
