    Doe show 2024

    Went today, it was busy, nice to see the CR11 as did not make it to Lamma, NH still insist in fencing it off but at least the covers were open to have a look - impressive machine and no doubt will be at an impressive price!

    Dealer Open Day

    In fairness have bought a few times from the show without any hassle, it does help if you know the local sales person for the area already..... Well Done to them for putting prices on, far too much "POA" going on these days.

    Will machinery prices come down eventually?

    Maybe by 5% as stock increases and we can get a better deal, but not the 20% some people for some reason expect, it's just not going to happen.

    Which is the best 4t 7m telehandler?

    Narrow it down by finding the best dealers local to you, then demo 2-3 brands with a view to actually buying one so that you can get a good deal. Or just speculate endlessly if you prefer.

    New tractor delivery dates

    Some of the bigger dealers look like they still have new tractor stock, not sure whether that will still be the case at the end of the year... Manitou I have heard it's almost 2024 delivery now for a new machine. Can't be great for customers or dealers!!!

    John Deere reducing dealerships

    Hear rumours for a while, but see it's now official Tuckwells give up (or rather are told to give up) JCB for Kramer, no surprises there I guess.

    Haynes agri

    Surprised they didn't keep trading under the Oakes name for longer and then phased it out later; would have meant extra good will.

    When Will It Ever Stop Raining?

    Only 70 acres left to cut! The dew is terrible at the moment and things just don't seem to be drying. We managed a few yards yesterday before it rained again! Last year harvest was wrapped up by the 14th of August, not much we can do but just wish we could get that one elusive day and finish!!

    dealer bill for fitting new fuel line on JD 130r

    Suggest you see if the dealer will agree a fixed mileage rate with you, we are further away from one dealer and they did that for us to help grease the wheels both ways, we both want to keep dealing with each other.

    Farm hoover

    A big brute is expensive but does seem to be worth the money, nothing it won't tackle and it has lapped up years of abuse!!

    Kuhn suppy problems

    I don't trust Kuhn for reliable parts supply or new machine supply in the best of times, so it's no surprise that they are even worse in these admittedly testing times. Across manufacturing of whatever it is it seems manufacturers are in a bidding war for computer chips and raw materials, who...

    Tm190 down in power

    I hated the laggy foot throttle on our TM190, drive by wire rubbish. Amusingly at one stage and maybe before a software update you could simply engage the PTO whilst pulling a cultivator and it would seemingly give you the 240bhp boosted mode. Then it was probably good for frying an egg on the...

    New Defender Commercial

    Of course the the new Defender is JUST the same as the old one so there should be no reason for it to increase in price!?

    Bloody good point, didn't know it was still offered, presumed the defender had taken it's place...

    New Defender Commercial

    Has someone done a kit to fit the rear seats back in yet? Like the many Disco's that were converted? The Disco 4 was pretty amazing for the money as a commercial, that luxury ride and smooth running that a 4 cab could never really match. On another note, I do find myself quite interested in...
