That must mean every show in recent history has done so then as they all list exhibitors. Definitely a no from me this time.

Certainly is

Been down in Essex today with a customer seeing how they’re getting on with their new swather.

Been PDI’ing this Caffini cannon sprayer and installing it with the customer for the past couple of days for use in the forestry industry. First one of its type in the UK.

Rebadged and strengthened so they don’t break as much. Amazone bought Vogel & Noot when they got into trouble the last time. The NORMAC demo should be going ahead this September, we’re currently looking into getting a plot there.

We’re finding the opposite with a lot of people we talk to, they’re saying the cheque book is closed for the year due to uncertainty over everything. I’d guess JD dropped their trousers to get the deal and take out a Claas just to try and make out their X9 is better. Seen that done before.

You can definitely tell the tourists are back out in Devon again. Down there for work at the minute but coming back before the madness at the weekend

Had to go and get some photo's and video's of this Nardi Fast combination cultivator at work on a new Case Optum 300 this morning, I work for the UK importer of Nardi machinery so we needed some promotional material.

It’s a ‘Home’ button, takes you bake to the main forum boards page.

Something we expected to happen where I’m working so we hadn’t put too much thought into planning things for the event yet

There could some bigger hits in store for shows involving the movement of machinery between other countries and the UK yet, that includes ploughing matches and similar. The legislation makes grim reading at the moment if you’re fans of them.

No loophole there for large scale import, we’ve looked into it where I work and there’s no difference it what it costs us to get a new machine into the north than what it would cost south of border. 21% VAT to pay in both cases, worse is if we send a machine into Ireland for a demonstration we have to pay import VAT to get it there then pay the VAT again to get it back here.

Been down in Devon for work all week looking at some of our new wood chipper products amongst other bits and pieces along with helping them with their special Christmas idea.....those who follow me on FB should get a good laugh out of it when we put it out in a week or so

Heard of that myself in the past, always refuse to have the flu jab myself despite being classed as vulnerable. Had a play with this machine yesterday while making a promotional video of it for work. It’s been a tough few months work wise for me with the business I’ve worked 5 years to build up all but dead due to Covid. Bookings for agricultural training are around 70-80% down on normal so I now work 3 days a week for a machinery dealer as a product specialist for sprayers and handling general machinery sales and marketing.

Nice earlier model with all mechanical drive on it still

Maybe I need to come out of retirement and build a few more of these or actually finish the Armer Salmon I was building.

Been up the allotments again today getting more things sown. Too much time on my hands at the moment!

Back up the allotments today, more peas in and getting ready for runner beans.

Daily exercise at the allotment yesterday and be back for more today

Picked my new toy up yesterday and had a play with it on my allotments. Nice little Barford Atom with a new engine fitted, worked really well.

The shading doesn't look anywhere near as dark on my PC as in your pictures, the shadows actually look fairly realistic here to me.

That’s what the new in game shaders do, the side that doesn’t face the sun is in shadow so would be darker

Giants have 200 mods in the queue for testing at the moment, one of the last ones in that queue is the new Marwell Manor map by OxygenDavid, he’s expecting it to be about around February. I’m currently playing on both base game maps plus a German based mod map that has a UK feel to it I do know of a few other UK maps currently being made for FS19 but don’t expect Coldborough Park Farm to appear any time soon if at all.

I have the Collectors Edition disc and a download version of the game, involved in a few things related to Farming Simulator these days. There are a few people who have thrown their toys out of the pram with the new version but I’m really enjoying it. Not a game for a PC with less than 8gb of RAM in my opinion though, got someone on my server trying to play with 4gb and it’s showing some amusing glitches.....130kph Puma being one of them

Take a look on the Giants website forum as there have been several bugs with the new version of the game, there’s also some fixes on there. Make sure you’ve downloaded and installed the latest patch for the game as well. I play on PC and have had other issues, they are getting it fixed but none of the bugs that have been found after release showed up during testing https://forum.giants-software.com/viewforum.php?f=478
