Airplane Crashes
For individual farmers in the developed world, a tractor is likely to be the key item of equipment as it provides power and mobility for a wide range of mechanical farm operations including tillage, spraying, fertilizing, harvesting, milking and feeding. Different crops vary widely, however, in the type of labor required-that is, in their power- and control-intensity. Harvesting of root crops is probably the most power-intensive, although it still requires significan control. At the other extreme, cotton, fruit, and vegetables require intensive control: in the case of apples, the threat of damage is so large that their harvesting has still not been successfully mechanized.
Reapers for small grains became widely adopted in North America after 1850, with grass mowers for the dairy regions following shortly afterward. But in France and Germany these machines did not make a substantial impact until 1890 or 1900. Higher wages lead to the use of larger sprayers which may be animal- or tractor-drawn. Assessment. The selective use of new power sources (particularly tractors) for power-intensive operations has often been viewed as a sign of inefficiency. Since a farmer makes a huge investment in a tractor, why not use it for all operations? U.S. studies carried out in the 1920s and 1930s show clearly that there is nothing inefficient in the selective use of tractors for power-intensive operations.

Choose the right equipment: You will need a tractor with a sugar beet harvester attachment, and you will also need a trailer or other means of transporting the harvested beets.
Prepare the field: Before harvesting, you will need to prepare the field by removing any debris or obstructions and ensuring that the tractor and harvester are in good working order.
Set up the harvester: Attach the harvester to the tractor and adjust it to the correct settings for the size and type of beets you are harvesting. Make sure that the harvester is properly secured to the tractor.
Start harvesting: Begin harvesting by driving the tractor in straight rows across the field. The harvester will collect the beets as you go, and they will be transported to the trailer or other storage area. Make sure to follow a consistent pattern and to overlap your passes slightly to ensure that the entire field is covered.
Monitor and maintain: As you harvest, monitor the harvester and the tractor for any issues, and make adjustments as needed. After harvesting, you may need to perform additional tasks such as sorting or grading the beets to prepare them for storage or transportation.
By following these steps, you can efficiently and effectively harvest sugar beets using a tractor.
