The second DVD in this two-part DVD set focuses on the advances in harvester design of the past fifteen years. Tanks are larger and there are more axles to spread the massive weights involved. The machines handle an increasing number of rows with far more technical monitoring.

The programme also covers the recent trend towards specialised 'beet chasers' in the field and self-propelled cleaner loaders. An extra feature looks at the Vervaet factory and the company's history.

Chris Lockwood justifiably claims this pair of programmes to be 'the most thorough on beet harvesters ever'. In total some 75 machines are featured over the two discs which include examples from almost all the beet harvester manufacturers whose machines sold in the UK in recent decades.
