BC Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I have been following the build of Ian Leather's aka Agrium of a Stewart GX16-21S trailer. Being a writer for Model Farmer I approached Ian about me doing an article on his build. He was delighted to contribute and I'm now about to try and arrange a visit to the factory so I can get some pictures of the real build to compare to Ian's model build. Before I approach Jim Stewart I was wondering if any other members would like to come if Jim offcourse was willing to give us a tour of his set up. Let me know if any of you are interested and we can take it from there. http://www.stewart-trailers.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 depending on the work situation i would hope i could attend. Andy I had a PM from Brian last night saying he would like too as well but from now till the harvest is finished he will be busy workwise. That isn't a problem for me since this article will be for the February 2011 magazine so I will see who else shows any interest and most likely try for a visit in the Autumn.

That sounds about right Bill , would definitely be able to make it on one of those evenings, but would try my best to still make it if one of those wasn't possible for you or Jim Stewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 That's a fair run for you Brian from home but I suppose you are used to the road by now having been up at BA Lyne of skene and also the Echt Show ;) I'll see if any more are interested and then try and arrange something that fits in best with Jim and the majority of the folk who want to see the set up.

BC Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Rob sent me his onshore days over the next few months so I'll try and fit in something that ties in with Mart as well i.e a Monday Tuesday or Thursday evening Rob's leave days 27th July to the 10th august 24th august to the 21th september 6th october to the 18th october 2nd november to the 29th november.

BC Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Alright folks I have tried to set up proposed evening dates to suit you all before I contact Jim Stewart. To allow the harvest to pass for Brian aka brianih634 and Andy Big A I have excluded Rob's hone days in July August and September 2009. That then leaves October and November and Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursday to fit in with Mart aka Newholland 2 when he is up in Aberdeen at college and out on the town most nights ;) So I would say some of the following dates for an evening visit assuming this ties in with Jim Stewart and he is prepared to let us see his setup. So if I got my days and dates right here are the proposed possible dates. I have excluded Monday 22nd November since I will only be back home form the Lakelnd show at Penrith that day October 2010 Thursday 7th or 14th Monday 11th or 18th Tuesday 12th November 2010 Tuesady 2nd Thursday 4th Monday 8th / 15th or 29th Tuesday 9th / 16th or 23rd Thursday 11th / 18th or 25th We have the most availble dates in November 2010 so assuming that Davoit of Inverurie is not under a foot of snow November 2010 might be the best month for a visit ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronan7051 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi to all reading this, I'm new to the Forum, I meant to join ages ago but never got to. I have been collecting for probably 5 years now after getting bitten by the bug when I joined Ebay.I have many happy memories of Britains as a child and growing up in the country in Ireland, I was always surrounded by tractors on my families farms and my friends ones. I lost touch with it all when I moved to Aberdeen, but am hoping to get back in touch with it when we move out the countryside to turriff and hoping to get space to display all the collection. I think I have bought off some of the members here. Anyway Ive been reading that you plan a visit to Stewart Trailers in Aberdeenshire in the Autumn and would love to meet some of you guys if Iam home at the time, you see I work overseasin the oil industry and am not home all the time. Anyway enough of my babbling, by the way BRILLIANT SITE!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Good work Bill sounds as though this is taking shape nicely ....... Yes Mart. I know off two dates Rob is on a fire course and that should narrow things down a bit. This is the only way I can think of doing it really. I had a PM from Dode aka toyboy and he is interested too .
