Pto guard will cost more than you might have paid for complete machine. Most replacement plastic guards cost more than a completely new ready to use replacement pto

Yes thats true

yes its sad phil , i was supposed to go to there open day but i could not make it then about a week later they closed up , dont think it was money problems why they shut , it is going to be tough for a lot of dealers going forward . manufacturers push dealers to have loads of stock which has to be paid for at some point . There will be more close up before the years out .

Sounds really good ,yes would be right up my street , i nearly turned as green as the tractors last time 🤣 , i did enjoy looking at both collections last time

If it do go back to November i would make plans to go but its right in the main busy periods on farm and with the weather we have been having farm is not in the condition it should be and with a minor health problem it would be difficult to get there at moment . Will miss you lads on the boat ,had a great time 2 years back with you lot , a big thanks to Robbo and Andy in helping out as well as David , Barry and Sean 👍

glad to here it thought i was only werdio about 🤣

There is a lot going on that they dont want us to now about . Its a job at the moment for us to find a home for the wheat that is in my barn , Bird flu closed up a lot of poultry units and a lot of pigs was not replaced when they was building up on farms and was just killed and chucked in landfill sites , last October 3 lorry drivers told me a boat full of Ukrainian wheat come into Ipswich docks and was offloaded and tipped into stores around the area , the 3 drivers that told me had been carting it , it come in as it was cheap and also by the uk buying it it was a way of ukrainian getting money to buy more arms

I thought it was just me and BC that was collecting carrier bags , they do look in good condition

i have a few acres to rip up and replant with spring barley

Yes phil the surplus wheat stocks are getting smaller around the world apart from Russia and China , china buys loads in and stockpile to feed its own , Russia produce a lot but also are helping themselves to a lot of Ukraine wheat

where is the air fed from , is it from a pipe from unit around waist or is it a stand on the floor job and trailing pipe

I been called a few things in the past but not over powered before 😅

i have 4 tractors on 170 acres ,and a 541-70 jcb

Nicholsons"s was selling a lot of case tractors Phil , as well as Gav i had another mate there and sales was good .

Nice bit of hedge cutting there Gav 👍
