    Collings Bros gone

    This desperately sad like Suffolk Ag and sadly I suspect it is the thin edge of the wedge. The interest on the stocking plans for new kit and the interest on the money laid out on s/h kit that is simply not moving along with he depreciation on it is killing dealers. Sadly the manufacturers don’t...

    Claas/Renault Ares?

    Run various Ares and still running claas biggest failing is they are unfashionable and so depreciate like a stone which is your biggest asset otherwise just fine tractor JD engine and for some reason the head gaskets didn't go and Gima / MF backend nice tractor obviously there will still be some...

    Ripped off by HRN Tractors / Agritrac Exports Ltd (Stuart Barclay) - Aberdeenshire

    having dealt with most of the Barclay businesses in a previous life I can say yes they are hard and nobodies fools but they are totally fair honourable and honest in there dealings but you play silly barstewards and you will discover very quickly your dealing with the heavy gang who can hold there...

    Fendts in Cambridge sale

    Basically a second unofficial auction / divvy up after the main auction because it’s understood they don’t take each other on in the main auction and they then sort it out amongst themselves afterwards which can result quite sizeable profits added onto some items for the initial purchaser or on...

    Fendts in Cambridge sale

    I fully agree who I was talking about were the s/h traders who have to go out and buy their stock to offer it for sale, although at the moment I know their phones are ringing off the hook with main dealers wanting to offload anything onto them. As you say a lot of the new franchise dealers are...

    Fendts in Cambridge sale

A Dealer mate of mine said the Internet made him, the could go off buy some gear in a sale live, have a square up in the knock afterwards, bring it home put it on his website and unless we people were there at the sale they had no idea what...

    Dutzi

    We farm next to where Peter farmed and I remember his well hence some of my comments above I was then involved in a Lincolnshire operation that had a couple. They had a reputation for being tractor breakers because they were built like tanks in strength and weight. But there is no shear device...

    Dutzi

    Talk to Geoff Wox he knows all about them and can get the parts etc. But in my experience never attempt to run them without the legs they don't work well they just bounce up and down and vibrate. They work best which seems ridiculous in bad conditions not ideal conditions. If your broadcasting...

    Straw/Stubble Rake

    Before you buy a rake just have a look at the guttler Suppermaxx. I know its not an out and out stubble rake but more a very shallow total solid movement cultivator which knowing our summers aren't as dry as the US / Can to get that brittle straw ground up, it might just be more suitable and can...
