| Great photos 2+2, thanks for sharing !
I used to work on a pea harvetst crew in England during the early 80's. We used to run 4x Mather & Platt MX Mk3 series viners. We used to pull them with +/- 150hp tractors. More recently everyone that still has peas have the self-propelled viners.
Attached is a photo I took shortly after the drum came apart on a MX! I was near it when it came unglued. We never did figure what happend, but we thought the drum axle at the rear snapped, and it took a while to slow down from 250-300RPM !
Also attached is a newer series Ploeger viner also in England.
