Hope there's one on how shite Mazzotti is! Now they've painted it green and called it John Deere.

I was at Agritechnica, Amazing Event. Does anyone watch Berkshire farm girl on youtube? Was great bumping into her and having a chat about the machinery. She seemed to be filming allot of it so do check her out on youtube if you missed the show!!

A few more details of the New Holland Combine, thanks to @Clive and @Mark Hatton

Brilliant video Clive very informative without blowing smoke up there arses. You certainly found a man who knew his nh combines and could just talk normally and not just the party line.

You only have to look on dealer websites to see a good number of low hours 22 reg Mazzottis to know they have a problem (or several!)
Sadly, JD didn't own up to the issue and the unsuspecting buyers had to trade their way out of them. Just hope no one buys them. But the replacement JD 952i we were kinda forced into is brilliant, barely a single issue. Does everthing very well. Jump on, go spraying which never, ever happened with the scrap heap. A very severe lesson learned - don't buy on price whatever the dealer promises!

Will give you my thoughts of the show, when I've a minute, having been there for 9 days having been on a exhibitor's stand, working for a very good friend of mine.

Not the most appatizing breakfast I've ever seen. By having a beer with it at 4.30am I presume you're in an airport which will make the cost of it eye-watering too.

The 'Spoons breakfast was pretty poor right enough, but dinner at Block House was outstanding. Matured and cooked to perfection, and hats off to them they even sell Scotch beef on their website.

Did you enjoy the end of show ritual of banging spanner’s on the machine? So great to see the camaraderie

I really looked forward to seeing the nexat but the stand was a big dissapointment, oyu coudln't get close and no brochures or anything. Can't blame them, being there is expansive and I imagine they don't like people crawling in machines that are still pretty much prototypes, al be it working prototypes.

Got back last night, knackered today. It was my 5th visit in 20 years and I think it was bigger and busier than I've ever seen it. Got to admit there was very little new that caught my eye, mainly because the robotic and autonomous stuff doesn't really interest me. Would of liked a closer look at the new Fendt 600 but couldn't get near it, the Germans do love a Fendt! New S6 Valtra looked smart even if it's twice the size of anything I will ever need.
The pricing of food and beverages at the show was a complete joke, €6.50 for a bottle of coke!! Also hotels in Hannover are becoming unaffordable.
Enjoyed the trip with great company but won't be heading back for a while...

Yea thought the same about the food and drink prices ended up just taking a small backpack with food and drink in it. Last time we stayed somewhere outside of Hannover, over an hour on a bus each way which was a pain, this time we stayed at the h+ hotel, they had a free shuttle on to and from the show each day and had a fairly decent breakfast, worked out around £125 a night

For the tractor boys it’s engines on, lights on and horns

I think it was just a four cylinder though but did look pretty good

I was there for 10 days , coke was €3.50 and a big sausage in a roll was €5, good dinners were €15-19 , bit dear for what they were.

Just home tonight , a hard 11 days , but great show and I met a lot of people .

All the interest and bussiness maybe because other countries actually want their farmers, so they have optimism.
