Can't beat a good spud Kilmore?  That's an unfortunate name for an edible crop

Very efficient set-up to prep the field for potato planting.  Impressive job of filming and editing.  
Potatoes are a highly versatile and nutritious food crop that can be grown in a variety of climates, produce a large yield per unit of land, and are relatively water-efficient,  They can also be stored for long periods which make them a staple food for many populations globally.

Another set of these highly specialized machines.
Nicely captured!

Different make of tractor though.

If you look carefully, you can just make out by the hedge on the right, the large back wheel of the tractor.

Do you think were missing out by not having one,     It would be great for the supermarket run.

And priced accordingly.   A Leyland 272 which I think these are cost £4500+VAT for a 1967 model year.

Probably good for another 50 years, too

Youd have to cut some hedges on route to make that technically legal.

There's plenty of parts available still.   Yes. Ive gone down a rabbit hole.

We went into the Springs centre in Buxton. Were were going to take a stroll around the Pavillion Gardens but the heavens opened as we came out of the coffee shop. We sheltered until the bus came.

I recall seeing the entrance when we walked up from the carpark but we didnt go in.

There's at least one café inside, and a few benches to sit on and watch the World go by.
