Lot of good stuff there by the pics.
What's the story? Retirement?
That 7810 will get a few folk excited likely. Prefer the 2850 myself.
Noel was a builder and has been farming and contracting for past few years. Moved over from Ireland many years ago with a fiver and a Ford cortina.

Done well for himself. 2850s getting new boots will look smart.

I wish!

Family that's involved in oil business meant to have bought it. Just rumours at moment though.

Oil money bought all that ground at dunecht too. Can't blame them, all self made men. Farmers can't compete with them though.
What’s happened to the 6250/7530 there off the list?

Well why not call it a sale then...:rolleyes:

Because it's a Roup :banghead:, like some of you southern lads have terms like "tack" grazing and other strange phrases.

Its normally used in the North East of Scotland and derived from Scandinavian languages like a lot of other words. Stoor = Dust, Norweigen for Hoover is "Stoor Sooker" or "Quine" = Girl

Get some of these Aberdeenshire lads newsin (talking) and you will think its another language. "Takes wiks tae tune yer lug in" :)
