Never had a new combine and as I'm nearly 60 it's very unlikely that I will TBH



Actually the word "unlikely" means that there could be a very slight small miniscule tiny chance a new combine will turn up here,,,,,,,,,,,, I would like to at this point say there is absolutely no chance of me having a brand new combine 🤣
i thought that till i told the dealer id pay cash for a 2 year old one, you wouldnt belive the deal he came up with! but that wa 12 years ago.
 
Project

Upgraded from the fencing pliers, should make pulling staples out some what easier and quicker.
Looked at some older threads on here and these seemed to get the most positive reviews.

I've had a pair for 10+ years, worth its weight in gold. Strange thing was at the time they were cheaper to buy here in UK than if I bought a pair in NZ when I was there.

Why a change of brand
I had a Vicon 130 with the same pick up and rotor years ago which I liked.But I would have had another welger cos the last one (2016 rp245) has been excellent if there hadn’t been brand and dealer changes.Turns out that would have been even more difficult with the demise of MST plus they wanted £5k more to change.
