As I said... The JD fallout is going to cause casualties & once the merry go round starts people's lively hoods are going to be effected.

Sad times when you have spent so much time building something to have it taken away from you.

If Masons do take the CFM area the squeeze will be on Smallridge Bros big time.

Well I am up on the border of the masons/smallridge border up near Tiverton and the difference is night and day smallridges might of been ok if we are still in the 2000s but haven’t kept up with the times masons much more helpful and with the times

If you go by the JD dealership new "super dealer" philosophy... Actually neither dealer currently fits the mould.

Perhaps a bigger fish from further a field (and that's an educated guess)

That depot is nowhere near big enough to serve the jd dealership of Cornwall, but there maybe a site close by that’s a whole lot bigger.

Son was watching one of the US YouTube farmers the other night.
He was lamenting the imminent loss of his local JD dealer of 88 years and 10 minutes away to be replaced by a big east coast dealer a couple of hours away.
Exactly the same situation as here.
