No doubt a very impressive operation but I bet it comes with a very impressive HP agreement

Who cares a flying feck how he finances it. He does it and you don't.

A bit hard to claim there's no money in the job with that lot, or is it all AD money?

They’re not far from me. God knows how they make that lot earn any money, everything is the biggest and the best. Good luck to them it’s an impressive line up.

Used to be my best customer!
Robert and Daniel were good gave me alot of work regular for at last 10 years while they ran 2 x MLA 628 and a old teleram 3.
Hard on kit but always serviced and got what ever it needed.
Did my best to sell them a Redrock and then a 210hp Schaffer but just wasnt quite right for them at the time so jcb got in there and pushed me out.
Good thing with robert and Daniel is, if they buy a machine from you no one else repairs it but you! They are or were very loyal to the selling dealer.
Love to get back in there but it will never happen now!

They do alot of everything!
Alot of stuff they do isn't not mentioned!
They do alot of fencing
Make steel work for sheds
Loads of hedge cutting
They are pretty much a one stop shop for every thing you can think of contracting!
And all this in about 20years!
When I first went there almost non of them sheds were there and the yard was just hard standing not concrete!
He had only just bought there first class chopper having previously shared one with some one else!
Some how they got it right and they just seem to get more and more work for all areas of the business.

There may be some history between you two but if not...?
I thought the issue of financing was a reasonable comment

Found the pictures of the schaffer 9380T demo i did. 
Was awhile ago now but you can recognised some of them buildings just the yard wasn't concreted at the time.
Even my van was blue with yellow stickers just like his custom trailer colour scheme
That was Robert pushing muck up but we all had a go bit wet for a 15ton machine

I find it a bit weird that grown men can get so excited walking round a yard full of tractors with a selfie stick

I bought a pair of tyres off Daniel a few years ago, and picked them up the evening before Christmas eve. They were loading a pair of 45' trailers with haylage bales for delivery the next day, and a fleet of enormous slurry tankers were just arriving home from a job late at night (or maybe two biggish ones at 5pm, and I was a bit awestruck!).
A very impressive set up there. I'm not sure I'd want to be in their catchment area running or starting a small farming/contracting operation though.

What the fudge has got into you recently? Lost count of how many folks you have had the claws out for?
