    Should you buy a new tractor?

    when wheat was £54/ton and we had a yard full of inventory you would be surprised how "soft" those borders became. Always easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

    Should you buy a new tractor?

    If I were buying a tractor in today's market, I would be playing every dealer off each other. I'd ring them all, regardless of territory. I wouldn't be laser-focused on JD either, Why not a Same/Kubota etc? I would also be pricing up an absolute poverty spec machine, then asking myself, how...

    11 yr old lad new school few friends - is there any hope?

    I was just about to mention you @teslacoils My Nephew is a lovely fellow but quite awkward in some aspects, hates team sports, and is very introverted, yet they will tell the lady in Halfords that she should restock her selves in a better manner to get more space! He finds it hard to fit in...

    Dozy sales reps

    If It's a Second Hand (SH?) unit you are after, you can get one from any dealer in the country. Selling "Out of Area" doesn't apply to a used tractor. As an ex-tractor sales rep, I find these posts mystifying, to be honest. I can't believe there is no follow-up. I guess it's all tick-tock and...

    Soon to be former farmer seeks interesting work.

    How old are you? If you don't mind me asking? If you are of an age, do your STCW95 course and be a deckhand on a yacht. Crying out for people with a good work ethic, you can do some engineering courses and do more of the mechanical stuff. See the world, work as you do at harvest/lambing for...

    Eastern Massey Dealers of the Past.

    We lived up the road from the Frating dealership; I remember pouring over the Britans models in there for hours, deciding which one to buy. I worked on the farm two over from there, but we ran Ford and Same, so I didn't use them. Dad bought a couple of Mowers from there. I've asked Mum if she...

    Dozy sales reps

    It amazes me that there is a lack of follow-up. ( unless you are on "the list" in the office. ) I always trained my salesmen/women to appreciate the value of a lead. How much does it cost in marketing, offices, shows, staff, cars, phones etc to get the OP to pick up the phone and enquire? This...
