Might be wrong but if it’s a financial difficulties sale (and I don’t know that just speculation) then no one cares as they have lost their jobs ☹️

? They had a big 780 Lexion combining for Gs all round us this summer, doesn't seem to be in the sale.

It says 'restructuring of the contracting fleet'.
Like I say was just a rumour. Things must be bad if Gs can’t afford a combine........
Mind £800k profit on £550mil turnover after land sales have been stripped out hardly sounds exciting (source the grocer)

Maybe ,they are sick of working for nowt ,and said f**k it ,and just doing their own ,
It been no fun last two years ,
And would you want to be up at 5 every morning and not home till 7/8 pm every day for 4 months lifting depressing beet crops and farmers on phone moaning only want to lift on dry days ,an battling with wet hard going

If you want to know what is going on instead of speculation and b s ring bernie or will chapman ,and ask them , am sure they will tell you ,
Had them dozing soil when moved a big pile from a rez build , hope they keep that side going because do a super job ,

G's have a 780 as well, they were working as a pair for a lot of the time, impressive sight.

I think G's will have a very good accountancy team to minimise profit! How are they turning over that much?!
