nothing runs like a **** Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 What a waste of time today i would been safer sitting revising that walking round it, not one digger dealer was their the main people cat, jcb and komatsu. Anyone else think that it has been poor this year, Credit crunch or what, and they have the cheek to ask £15 for an adult to go in. Only reason i went was as i had free tickets and thought it would have been a good day out as the many other years have been. Only one thing surprise me the day and that was redrocks 3500 gallon slurry tanker with steering Axel, all that i can say what an absolute beast of a thing. Who is going to be the first to make one in 1:32 :D never seen Fm's thing at all \ \ would have like to all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swore last year i would not go back but you feel as if your missing something It was good last year, lots of plant, but the dealers must not be making enough turnover to cover the stall prices, im sure it wouldnt be cheap \ Did you see the scramblers/ stunt bikes, another waste of time and getting soaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty C Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The place has been getting worse and worse for the past few years now. Credit crunch has something to do with the plant machinery but im not worried bout it, its an agricultural show :P was a bit dear, even if i did get in as under 16 as for inside, waste of space, got dragged round it a few times and hardly anything to do with farming, tea towels, wine samples, massages, crap.... ect. if it wasnt for bumping into a few folk n a bita banter i would have been really ticked off \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Can i ask 1 question, Why do people want to go to an agricultural show to see construction machines? I think it is for the better local dealers are getting back on the stands, i hope next year is the same, but if construction becomes viable again they'll be back as they long term lease those trade spaces i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
