I hired a k2 once it was very heavy. I use a contractor who has a bunning.

the original Redrock when bust in 2010,
the owner of Steel solutions bought the factory and equipment and restarted as Redrock Machinery ltd.
Sammy started a new company with his son, trading as Newrock , but infact was DH Europe ltd
Sammy died 3 yrs ago and "Newrock" DH Europe closed shortly after.

I heard he has passed. Was it more his thing & thats why Newrock seemed to disappear? My neighbour has been selling Redrock since some time in the 90’s I think it must be. Unloaded lots for him over the years & always heard lots about Sammy & my neighbours trips over to the factory.
He’s shifting quite a lot of Redrock kit lately, over a fairly big area. Especially for a one man band. So Redrock must be doing quite well.
Good luck to them.

Make no odds to you , but bunnings are better .

Have always heard that bunnings were very highly regarded. Guessing there'd be a fair price difference on like for like machines.

Doubt it , only better bit is less floor chains on bunning, im out of touch price wise but i do k kw they are unjustifiable for most farmers truth be told .

 

[AshleyKTWO]

Very similar in terms of price....

 

[AshleyKTWO]

Did redrock buy the site as well or just the business and tooling

I can't really answer this sorry

Similar in price but the bunning and is a better spreader.
Was a pile of K2 spreaders down here,at 3 years old most seemed traded in for Rolland or bunning

 

[Rob Holmes]

Does that mean that @AshleyKTWO will be renamed @AshleyRedrock?

Being devil's advocate here,how do people see machinery costs dropping when someone like Ktwo goes into liquidation/ receivership as presumably they couldn't make a profit I certainly don't see machinery dropping in price

Machinery will never drop much, manufacturing is tough game in this country the wise farm it out abroad .

I’d be asking how kTwo couldn’t make a profit when redrock can make such a profit that they can buy them, I’d say with the recent prices, plus the large sales trailer manufactures have been enjoying it would purely be down to management

Like ifor williams, they will be losing market share if what's said is to be believed!

Alot seam to say they aren't as good anymore. The galve discoloured quickly. Other general moans about them.

Machinery cost to the end user won't drop, prices may remain static or increases may be less.
The profit a dealer makes may reduce but manufacturing in general wont pass on any reduction they see to the end user, what they will do is reduce production to maintain & balance demand.

Things must be slowing a bit or something as this would be a fair discount off say a new 16T trailer
