Construction companies we've had on site building sheds preparing sites for sheds. Arrive at half 7 leave at 5. 5 days a week. Local road building job on awpr shut down for fortnight over Xmas.

But they work all day don't go in the house for a long dinner or disappear for a hair cut mid afternoon or sit on the forum during a long breakfast. Point I'm making is some farmers make out they are busy but they haven't a bloody clue what busy is. Am on loads of different farms and it's amazing how brain washed some are. Half farmers battle they have never done anything else so don't know different they are born into the "busy" life :rolleyes:

Happy new year

Overnight change of colour it seems!!
Never slag off the opposition as you don't know when you might end up selling them.
I reckon they might do well with Mark and team.

Philips at Huntly are pushing hard, MF demos out everywhere, sold a handful already, and seem to have a renewed interest.
