Checked with the owner of the twin chop, vague memories of it being used to top but not sure. Has been parked up a while. Where are you based @mealman (phone doesn't seem to show location)

 

[mealman]

i am in northern ireland but transport should not be an issue.....any rough idea of age...the older the better for what i want

 

[R Allan]

This one is also in West Wales, South Pembs to be exact. It's not mine, I've been asked to find out if it's worth selling/saving or better chucked in the skip pictured in the background. My understand is the clock is ticking

I wish i could but unfortunately I am in the northern isles of Scotland so i think it will cost to much for transport

 

[mealman]

any more news on the forage harvester

 

[Smudge]

Still there, would need to be cash on collection, bit far surely?

 

[mealman]

if you could send some contact details we could talk it through

 

[Smudge]

@mealman and anyone else who is interested, I delivered the twin chop to Whitland mart today for Saturday's machinery sale. I believe the number for JJ Morris is 01994 240665 should you wish to place a commission bid.
