Working day for me over here in Nz is 8 till 5 , 5 days a week , not many weekends worked some at harvest and the odd Sunday digging spuds if we get behind with weather during the week, 650 hectare crop farm and close on 200 hectares of mainly seed spuds on lease land

Other end of the world digging spuds , seed crisping variety

Digging spuds

Spud seed cutter

We work miedema/dewulf planter , anything over 60mm I usually split grade so it’s 60/65 and then 65+ , find the 60/65 is ok just have to take time , the 65+ is where u get few more hassles but if u have them in couple bins , makes the 60/65 easier and less likely to block if that makes sense ...

Measured mine tonight they measure 630 across the treads
