Not sure of the exact date, but around the early eighties. Interestingly for anyone local Roger Hunt, now sadly gone, but Forest Hunt JD dealers still thriving, was part of a consortium that bought the site and developed it. He then owned a house opposite the works, and actually started his dealership in a small yard next door before going onto part of the Chilbolton WW2 airdrome where they still are.Thanks for the info, farmer up the road said he bought a cultivator from an auction and said he thought we had one just like it. Which we have, he wanted to know what make it was, ours didn’t have a plate but I think my Grandad bought it in the early 80’s. I looked in my Grandads bought in machinery book and saw he bought it in 1984 for £162.50. Looked for Taskers info online but only found a similar cultivator for sale on eBay. It was the orange colour.
What year did they pack up?
